a little taste of what my eyes see each day

this was taken from my back porch view. Notice our cow laying next to the horses : ) I was told I couldn't put a cow with my horses that the horses would pick on the cow and kick her but I proved that theory wrong : )

Kayla and Chuwy are good friends and I love watching them together even though Chuwy is really dirty.

And, Our happy little Eric just smiles all the time and is so easy to keep happy. He is really fun.

Pictures

We finally found and charged batteries etc. for both of our cameras and in addition finally put 2yrs worth of pictures off of Gregs phone into the computer. So I'll share a couple.

Eric is doing well after his surgery and seemed to have his toughest day yesterday. Today he is tired so I think he's just finally getting to a good point where he can comfortably sleep. Kayla is growing up so much both physically and in maturity. She is starting to obey us sometimes : ) I was going to write more often but decided sometimes would better describe it LOL. She is discovering her world and we are really enjoying watching it. She loves her brother and takes good care of him by taking him toys and blankets and giving him hugs and kisses. He is responding by trying to crawl. This morning he was up on all 4 rocking so I think he'll be crawling very soon.

These pics are fairly recent. One is of Eric right before surgery in his hospital gown at the Childrens hospital entertaining himself with a toy.

Erics surgery

Eric had a minor (well technically minor) surgery yesterday and is recovering well today. This surgery was to correct some male anatomy imperfections and to help with urination etc. He had to be intubated for anesthesia but woke quickly and happy and is now just real sore. He has a bandage on that can be removed tomorrow and he is on strong narcotic pain medicine. Thanks to many of you who have been praying for him.
We still don't have internet at our new house so hopefully we get that soon and then I'll be able to do more blogging. I know pics are needed so you can pray I have time to look for my cameras and start taking more pics. : )

no internet

We are completely moved other than moving a few last small things (including some kitchen stuff like dishes). The only reason we haven't moved the last few items is that I'm trying to find places to put away all the things I have already moved : ).
Our internet and phone were supposed to be transferred on friday OCT 31st but after they turned off our old service they discovered it was going to be a major and expensive job to bring phone lines to our new house and even then because we are more than 3 miles from their office they said we won't be able to receive DSL like we have been getting.
We are currently looking into our options and they finally turned the old service back on at our old house so when we come to town we can at least check our email etc.
During the moving process we have also misplaced our camera so we haven't gotten any pictures. I really wanted pictures of the kids in their halloween costumes and of Erics baby dedication but we'll just have to hope someone else took some and will share them with us.
We'll try to keep things updated if possible.
Today is voting day so be in prayer for our country more than ever today. I also want to ask everyone to pray for my very close friend, Patsy, ( I call her my Cuero Mom). She just had both of her kidneys removed and has cysts on her liver (that they drained). She is in San Antonio in the hospital and having a real rough go so please pray for her recovery process.
