The wind and the rain

Last night the wind blew at hurricane force and toppled a tree. It made a very loud boom as it broke and fell. It will make good firewood after it dries out.

Peter and David worked hard at splitting logs for the fireplace.

Presenting Loyal Cromwell Bradrick to the world

January 11, Loyal Cromwell made his entrance in this world

Triumph, Knox and Bill

Knox found a walking stick just his size

and walked everywhere like a little old man.

Twenty six years ago, Bill began collecting wooden gravity toys like the one below. Triumph has really enjoyed playing with them. He is working very hard to say, "gravity".

Bill celebrated his 87th birthday on January 8. We are thankful for every minute of every day.
