Invasion of the Fosters!



The Foster clan came to visit us this past weekend. How quickly the kids have grown! Tabitha is starting high school and Sarah is almost taller than Sherrie! Well, we didn't experience any of the terrible associated with the twos x 2. A little mischievousness for sure! Jordan has a passion for buttons and light switches and has a bit of OCD tendencies at times. Justin is just so calm and quiet, taking everything in. JT found Justin perched in a small basket in the dining room. I think he just needed some quiet time away from it all! A family of six will certainly make the house feel fuller! We were sort of lonely....for about half a day!

Hope to see the Fosters again soon - perhaps over the holidays.

Smile Justin!

Happy 2nd Birthday Justin & Jordan!

We are Land Owners!


It's official. We're land owners...and the owners of a new hefty mortgage! We closed on our little slice of future lake paradise on Saturday. Our future vacation home will set on about 1.3 acres fronting Kentucky Lake/TN River. Kentucky Lake is one of the largest man made lakes anywhere. Our new property is located in the charming little community of Big Sandy, TN. It is located between Memphis and Nashville about 35-40 minutes off of I-40. It takes us about 2.5 hours from Memphis to reach our new neighborhood of River Oaks. Life seems to go at a much slower pace in Big Sandy. This past weekend the town was all a buzz with the duck blinds going on....whatever that is.

In about 5-7 years we''ll have everyone up for a visit! Some pictures of the property were taken by the seller earlier in the year, so you can tell a little bit more about the property. Right now, it is quite grown up with small trees and underbrush. Mark your calendars!

We even have a little sandy beach!
