January

It's hard to believe that January is almost over!  Time truly flies...… The big kids have made a couple of trips here, and we will head that way next weekend.  We've been busy with lots of things this month, but have managed to sneak in some fun adventures.  I have to be honest-I think I am just about ready for spring.  A very added bonus this year is the arrival of another grandchild!  We can't wait-so hurry up spring and summer!

This sweet girl asked for a crossbow for Christmas, and Pop was happy to oblige.  On her very first shot at a deer with her new bow, this big boy hit the ground.  Both were super excited! 

These two thoroughly enjoy their time together hunting.

We rushed down to see and take pictures as soon as we got the call.  Sadly, John Sawyer wasn't home, so he missed this one.

And because no family should have just 3 dogs, we added another little one to the bunch.  This little girl came from north Georgia, and has been a doll so far.  To say the other three are unhappy about her would be an understatement.  Beau, Maybelle, and Sweetie Pie are simply not impressed.  We are hoping that she will soon win them over.

John Sawyer is quite impressed with her.  Lindsey asked her dad if he had ever put a sweater on a dog before.  He quickly said no, but this little one has been shivering non stop-so, a sweater it is!

She is a German short-haired pointer, and hopefully will earn her keep by bird hunting. If not, she is a great snuggler!

 How cute is this!!

And this!

We can't wait for the other 3 to meet her.  We think they will love her just as much as John Sawyer does.

This cold weather has kept us inside way too much lately.  We both love being outside. I am also including this picture, because I am working on a post about old things becoming new again. That chest in the back is just one example.  More to come on that...….

And finally, Maddie and Beau were having a high old time chasing each other.
