Ups and Downs

Well today started off just dandy - look who I found when I went out to feed!

Meet Jeffrey!

Totally dry by the time I got out there this morning... darn it, I missed ANOTHER one!!

Hard to tell in the flash picture but he has a few white hairs on his forehead...

Then everything went to he!! in a handbasket... called Randy and he says "I got layed off".

"WHAT?" was all I could get out...

So we would REALLY appreciate prayers from any and all, that he finds something else SOON! We are really trying to stay positive about this, as this job was over 50 hours a week in addition to lots of driving, and very hard on him, so we choose to believe that this is God's way of getting him out of there...

Anyway... when I came home from work I rushed out to get better pictures of the new baby... so we let him out for a few minutes.

Everybody wants to meet him but mama says NO!

Gee mama, could you get any closer???

Mom watching while Ellie Mae, sister Clementine, Peggy Sue and John Henry gather round...

"Grandpa" Randy

And of course I always gotta get a picture of me holding the new baby :)
And now I am off to tack up Luna and do our "regular" ride so Randy can get his walk in...

Oh, Susan, it is scary, this job situation. The only advice I can give you is to make up your mind to behave like Godly people in the face of adversity. Expect that it will work out as God intends. And wait. Expectantly. Alhtough not as expectantly as those fertile myrtle donkeys you have.... I'll be following your story.
