I found this cute note pad at Hobby Lobby a couple of weekends ago, and thought I just had to have it. I read it at least 3 times a day! Just keep Faith, I repeat this daily. Helps me to get through the hard times! "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1

Now on to some ramblings!
I have a few weeks worth of posts stuck in my head!
First off, I was so depressed to see this picture...

Uncle Jake REALLY has fallen in love with Baby Jackson.
FYI...one reason I am MIA is because we have spent the last 3 weekends in
Ashdown while Jake helps his sister and BIL put on a new roof. Hopefully, this will be the last weekend. It would be a little easier if he was getting paid to do it. (I won't even go there!!!!!!)
I love these pics...

One more thing...we are doing a swap! We are dog swapping (Athena, a dog we have had for about 4 years) for my
SIL's chocolate lab. We just feel that Leela (the lab) will make a better fit for our family. Bo and Josie will LOVE her, but we are so
afraid that if we take Athena away Bo will get depressed. She practically raised him from a pup! So wish us luck and that it all works out good. It's a long story of why we have decided this (maybe later) but I just hope we are making the right
decision!
