Attention

A sign for the patrons of Taco Bell in my small town: "Closed to honor the memory of Michael Jackson". Not even kidding...just in case you were wondering.

Sad

Please say a prayer for this family. They are more than deserving of a child and just made the hard decision to walk away from an adoption. I have been following this family for a while
because they have had successes and failures in adoptions. This is what scares me about the adoption process. They could not control the circumstances and made the best decision for their family. Everything was rolling along and then it wasn't. Check out their blog and please pray for God to continue to grant peace. http://www.our-journey-to-parenthood.blogspot.com/

The hole

This afternoon my husband told me that he thinks we have something living under the house. He took me around to the side of the house and pointed out a hole dug in the dirt that was right next the house. Artie said it was there the other day but he had filled it in. The hole he showed me today was definitely not filled in. I went out to take a picture of the hole and all of a sudden something scurried away and down the hole. I did not get a good look at it but I have a feeling it is a ground hog. Here are the pictures of the hole! I will let you know if I find out what is taking up residence under our home.

This is the hole looking down from the porch. The hole is behind the bush closest to the house.

The brown dirt is what was dug recently.

The hole is right behind the bush .

This is looking straight at it.
Oh...and the dirt again

Does anyone know what groundhogs eat?

Check it out!

R.I.P

It is a sad day in the Allen home. I am sorry to announce that Jackson's baby has died. He has had this one particular baby since he was tiny. Every morning he would grab it and carry it around in his mouth all day. No matter where Jack went, baby went. Jackson must have been distracted and left his baby outside. This afternoon at 12:45pm, Jackson's baby was run over by the lawn mower and shred into a million pieces. Here is a photo of Jackson with his baby. I would show a picture of the after...but it is just too gruesome. :)
