Welcome Nephew

We have a lot of nieces - Tony's brother, Wayne, has three girls and Cindy's brother, Mike, has a girl as well.  We love our nieces, but we were very excited to welcome a Nephew!


 Dylan Michael Stuck was born Monday, November 23rd to Cindy's brother, Mike, and his wife Kate.  Thank you Lord for the safe arrival of our newest (male) member of the family!

It Finally Happened!!!!!



  
Mom Stuck gave us a Bird Feeder for our Garden (at the amazing Garden Shower Carol Watt threw for me) and we put it up hoping to get some non-human noises waking us in the morning.  It took almost three months, but it finally happened.  Birds woke us up as they hopped and chirped and ate from the bird feeder...and made an incredible MESS of our garden.  Oops! 


After Tony cleaned up the mess for the eight or ninth time he looked at me and said "I'm sorry, but we're not filling up the bird feeder after it's empty." 


So much for our bird experiment. 

Tony's Birthday

We had a quiet night for Tony's Birthday on November 3rd, but somehow he ended up with a ton of presents still.  We ate Salmon and Carrot Cake (not at the same time) and remembered Dad.  

It was not the way I thought we'd be spending our "honeymoon phase" holiday's, but nonetheless, the difficult times we've shared have drawn us closer to the Lord, and consequently each other.  


Thank You Lord for my wonderful husband.
