Clara is beautiful :) Congratulations!!

What a blessing! She is beautiful! I can't wait to get my hands on her. Congratulations to the lucky parents and grandparents!

The long awaited bundle, she is beautiful,I am with you Rita I want to see her hair, Amy and Greg you did a beautiful job.Now the fun begins.

I think she looks like her Great Grandma Vivian, don't you. Dan said she was beautiful and she looked just like him. I told him, she could be one or the other, but she couldn't be both! LOL. Can't wait to see her hair. Hope Mom and Dad got some rest.

We need some pictures of baby clara on here! Hope all is well and mommy is getting some rest.

Janis~I hear you about the cooped up business!! I did get out and mow the lawn yesterday evening after Janet picked up the kids. I mowed the front while they were still here. I zipped them up in the trampoline where I could see them, and I mowed with the push mower, for exercise. Kaiden (he's 15 months old) got so mad when I wouldn't let him out, but then he just sat down and watched me mow. He looked at me like "I can't believe she locked me up" LOL
Your little boy sounds like he is making progress in leaps and bounds!! Encouragement and love go a long way. I'm sure he will excel because he has a desire to learn. I think I was lacking in that department when I was in school. But If I had known then what I know now.....!!! We are supposed to get more rain tonight and tomorrow. Flood Watch in effect! I do love the rain at night though. I open my bedroom window and I can hear the rain on the tin roof of the garage.

Trish, I don't know when Daddy is going to come up there. He going to see how these drip medication treatments are going to go. He says he would like to stay a couple of weeks.

Rita, Daddy is doing pretty good. He gets out in between rains We got 4 more days of rain here. Then stop for a few days then start back. It don't stop even long enough to mow the grass. The kids are doing great. Tyler will get to start the big K this next year when school starts but he will have some of the teachers he had this year like speech and physical motor skills.But bless his heart he is really tyring to learn. He can come up with some words he learning. Such a long way from when I got them. He says I am the band-aid person because I am a girl. He says that's my job. And says my husband is the chips person because he is a boy. I just have to laugh at him a lot. Hope everyone is doing good there. And I can't wait until summer all that sun shine. I am tired of being cooped up in this house.

Thank you Rita for the explanation on the buckets, how neat. Thank you Lord for the buckets you gave us throughout the night because now I have sprouts from the wildflower seeds pawpaw gave me!! I'm so excited, I can't wait to see what they look like:)

Janis~How's the weather in Tennessee? How is Unlce Lee feeling? Does he feel like getting out and about? How are the kids? Looking forward to Summer, no doubt. Counting down the days?

Buckets....My rain gauge shows a little over 2 and a half inches since this started, but My mop bucket on the back porch was full. Before rain gauges that's how they measured the rain fall. When they left their bucket out and it filled up...thus, it rained buckets!!! And now you know the rest of the story. News is that Clara is on the way this morning. Blain had just said, "She'll go before Saturday". And then Ruth called!! Go figure. Daddy said, "Well the moon changed and that's what brought it about". Whatever!!!~the moon is always changing. By the time it dries off enough to mow the lawn, we'll have to use the bushhog!!

Praise the Lord for buckets!!! I got garlic sprouts!!

It's been raining buckets here too.

Amy and Greg went to the Cleveland Cav's playoff game last night hoping that the excitement would cause her to go into labor, but it didn't work! The doctor told her last Friday that she was 4 centimeters dilated, and that she would not go another week. Who knows? If she goes until the 12th, they will induce.

I bet Amy is sure wishing that Baby Clara would hurry up and make a move-preferably out! She thinks she'll get a good nights sleep once that belly is gone...boy is she in for a rude awakening! We are all anxiously waiting to get the call!

Rainy ole' day here. Went to Mommy's yesterday and Daddy went out in the pines and dug some more ramps. So I helped Mommy clean and bag them. We put 13 bags in the freezer to go with the other 50 left over from years gone by... Daddy cut his hand while he was outside messin' around with the mower. Not too bad, but when I saw it, I got weak in the knees!!! Go figure... Couldn't have been the blood, must have been the cut!! And then he tried to tell me how to bandage it, nothin' like I learned in Nursing School!!! But it worked for him.
I thought sure Clara Hocevar would be here by now!!! Not much new here. All this rain is sure making my garden grow. I think every last pea came up!! Now we need it to dry off so we can plant the rest of it.

The pics of Andy and Kim, and Ben and Kelsey are so good. Love Andy's hat!! Emily, I love the pic of Zac!! What a lens!!! Oh, and Is Zac going to make Onion Soup??? Going to mommy's to clean today. We are going to give Penny to Mommy and Daddy and if he ties her up, we're going to go get her. I'm going to tell Daddy if he needs to tie her up, I'll just take her back. Going to get her fixed and get her shots first. AND a bath. She may get hit by a car, but while she is alive, I want her to run free.
