Christmas Day 2008

We got together Christmas Day at Furman University for our Christmas Dinner and Family Day. Our thanks go out to Monica and Michael and their family for getting the place to have it and for all the hard work. I think everyone had a great time. Here's a picture of Joyce opening one of her gifts and Amber is sitting on the table.

Stephanie was helping Dayton with his presents and Jaydence was having a great time.

Little Mike, Amanda and Rebecca were opening as Monica was videoing.

Kerrie was holding Dayton, after he opened his gifts.

One of the biggest hits of the day was the TV and video game. Ford, Jeremy and Little Mike were enjoying at this time.




Here's a picture of Deb and I as the day wore on.

Second week in December, Deb and I went to

Pigeon Forge, TN. We were able to see the Miracle Theatre Show and had breakfast the next morning with the Blackwood Brothers at Black Bear Theatre. This is a picture of our room and a picture of Deb and I at one of the shows.

On our way out Katie, Randy and Rody met us at the Bass Pro Shop. Rody saw Santa and had his picture taken. Here's a picture of Randolph Jr., Randolph III and Randolph IV.

We had lunch at the Cracker Barrell.

Here's Rody in one of the Rockers.

Rody had gotten up and was in such a good mood, he was laughing and waving at us. He loves the puppy.

Rody was laughing and smiling at Daisy.

Family Get Together for Thanksgiving

Well our family is getting larger and larger. Some folks had already left by the time we took pictures and some folks (Randy, Katie and Rody) were not able to attend. It was good to see everyone and Mickey's son (Mickey Joe) and his wife were able to be with us. Mickey Joe has been sick and had just gotten out of the hospital this past week. I would like for everyone to remember Mickey Joe in your prayers when you talk to our Father. God is so good and his mercy is so wonderful. Also, remember others in the family, because we all need and want prayer.

We had such a great time. Thank you to everyone that worked hard to put this together and worked hard on all the clean up.

Halloween in Cleveland

Deb and I went up to stay with Randy, Katie and Rody for Halloween. We had a great time! We all dressed up and went downtown Halloween night to a block party downtown Cleveland. People were so funny. Here's a picture of Deb and I.

We took Rody to the grocery store dressed in this outfit that Katie's mother had gotten him. He was so cute! It took us extra time in the store because of all the people coming up to him. Everyone just loved him.

This was Rody's Halloween night outfit Deb had gotten for him. He looked great.

Here is Katie feeding Rody breakfast. Katie and Randy both are so good with Rody, he is fortunate to have such parents. Just look at him, such a big boy and such a good boy.

Debbie's Scarecrows

Debbie asked me if I could do something with her scarecrows, so I got 3 bundles of straw and set up this display for her. She loved it and was pleased.
