Baby Bird Update!!!

Our Baby Birds have flown away, leaving their empty nest alone in our crab apple tree.  I meant to post this much sooner; but here is a photographic timeline of the 11 days they were here:

Day 3

Day 6

Day 7

Day 10

And then...

Somebody left the nest!  And someone else is thinking about joining him...

Here is the baby who left first...

He's a gangly little guy!...

That was the last picture we were able to get of them for awhile.  It was funny to watch how, even though they had "left the nest" Mommy and Daddy Bird still watched over them and mentored them.  I finally was able to get this last good picture of them on Day 23:

 

And so, our little hatchlings are all grown up!  We hope that there will be another batch later this year or next year, but either way we had a lot of fun watching these guys grow up!

In Christ,

For the Family,

Baby Robins!!!

Hello Everyone!

    A Mother Robin decided to build a nest very low in our crab apple tree this year, so we have easy access to these adorable little birds!  We've been keeping an eye on the nest this last week or so, waiting for the three little eggs to hatch!  Mommy was the one who discovered them this morning and we were all able to have our first look!  Daddy hasn't been able to see them yet, but I'm sure he will want to when he gets home from work!

    We've been very busy lately, and are gearing up for even more things the end of this month and next month!!  Peanut, however, really knows how to kick back and relax!

Have a nice day everyone!

In Christ,

For the Family,

Tiffany

Back to Work

I went back to work this week.  I have some pain still but I'm putting weight on my foot now in the air cast.  I'm walking at work with crutches.  This week I spent the whole time updating work instructions for our ISO 9001 certification.  Needless to say I need this weekend just to recoupe.  I hope you all are doing well out there.  I will write again sometime soon.

God be with you,
Tim

Happy Birthday Tiffy and Kaleb

      It is so hard to believe that our youngest son will be 11 yrs old tomorrow and that our daughter, our oldest is 19 today.  It is spring again in North West Ohio. Tiffany and Kaleb wanted a chocolate cake for their B-days.  I decorated it last night for them.

The Birthday cake

Spring !!! Wonderful Spring!!!!!

My knee scooter is great!!!

       I had my Dr.'s appointment on the 7th and the x-rays looked good.  The plan is to return to work on light duty the 1st week of May.  I will have another Dr.'s appt. on the 30th of April to get the OK. 

God Bless you all,
Tim

Ladies Against Feminisim Back in Action!

Ladies Against Feminisim (or LAF) has long been a great source of encouragement to both Tiffany and I and is now better than ever!

We are so excited to explore this new and improved site!  LAF has always been my favorite site to visit with my cup of tea in hand, when I can take a break for the day.  ENJOY!!!

Love In Christ,
  Lisa <><

The Next Sherwood Movie!!!

For those of you who have seen and enjoyed Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof; there's a new movie set to begin production this spring!  Entitled Courageous, this movie will deal with the importance of Fatherhood from the standpoint of four law-enforcment officers!  You can go to Courageous the Movie to view more details, the announcement video, and to sign-up for updates!  I can't wait to see this!

Spring Has Sprung!

Hello Everyone!

Spring has found it's way to Ohio!  The Robins are back and things are starting to turn green!

Some of our plants are in bloom, such as the...

 Violets...

Crocuses...

And Forsythia!

Our other plants that will soon be blooming are..

 

The Magnolia...

Irises...

And our Hyacinths!

Even though all the snow is gone, the birds will still visit our feeder occasionaly!  I was able to capture this shot just the other day!

I'm feeling much better since our last post!  The swelling is gone along with most of the sutures.  The only problem I still have is some digestive issues that I've had since the operation! 

That's the latest from our neck of the woods!  I hope everyone else out there is fine!

In Christ,

For the Family,

Tiffy Chipmunk and The Genesis Flood

Tiffy had a little bit of a problem smiling for the camera, because her cheeks are so sore and swollen.  She is doing well though.  The oral surgeon said that the worst day is usually the 3rd day for swelling and then it gets better from there.  She is eating normal soft food now and still keeping up her meds.  Her Mom and I were up a few times last night to administer the meds.  Just a little bit tired today.

I'm about half way through reading "The Genesis Flood" by Whitcomb and Morris.  The book is wonderful!!!!  We have had the book for a while, but just recently started it because of Mr. Botkin's suggested reading list from the SMM group. We've been young age Creationists for a long time now and have a Charter membership at AIG's Creation Museum.  I thought I had a pretty good idea how to refute evolution before, but this is completely different.  It explains from the ground up literally and is very good at using the bible at every possible moment.  I highly recomend it as a source of reading for you and your children.  It is somewhat technical though so it might be more difficult for younger readers.

God Bless You,
Tim

Tiffany's Wisdom Lost

Tiffy's wisdom teeth removal went fine with no issues.  She is on her return home from the surgery as I'm writing this post.  I'm sure she will be in pain and probably not want to do much for the rest of the day.  Lisa's stopping and picking up her pain meds on the way home, I think she will need them soon.  I have been teacher today and getting caught up on some things from my bed in the addition.  I praise the Lord for this time that I have to spend with my family.  I truley can't wait to come home completely and start working from home.  Hopefully I can post some chipmunk pics of Tiffy later.  Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

God bless you,
Tim

A Day in the Life of Daddy!

Hello Everyone!

     Daddy is doing quite well, and we thought we'd post some pictures of what he's been up to!

This is Daddy's set up in the Addition.  He is usually accompanied by...

Peanut!  Daddy's little Tonto!

Daddy's also been getting some reading done.  The Genesis Flood he is reading to himself;  Home-Making (now titled The Family) he is reading to Mommy; and The Guns of The Lion by Douglas Bond he was reading to all of us and finished last night!  (We absolutely love Bond's books, which you can learn about here !)

This is a beautiful plaque our neighbors made and gave to us when they visited last week!

So, that's what life between appointments and medication has been like!  This wednesday I will be getting my Wisdom Teeth out, so I'll be the one in bed soon! 

In Christ, 

For the Family,

Tiffany
