Trip to Washington DC

Over the weekend Chris and I, his mum Sue and Gary and my dad and brother Paul went to Washington. We had a long day but it was great seeing all the sights. It was my dad's and Paul's first time there. I'm sure there will be many more times to come. The fountain and the New Hampshire sign is at the World War 2 Memorial. We went to see it at night which was so nice and of course the other picture is of during the day. There is a wall with 400 stars and each star represents 100 American men and women who died in World War 2. This is the other picture you see.

Here also is the Capitol building and the White House. George was busy so we didn't disturb him!!

Memorial Weekend

Weather is hot and we are preparing for the arrival of family and Memorial Weekend. Happy Memorial Day to everyone.

Summer's Here

Summer is finally here!!! Yeah!!! I know it is still suppose to be Spring but it feels like summer. My dad and brother are coming on Sunday in time for Memorial Day and we are so excited. The animals are excited also. Look, they are getting ready.

Spring has Sprung

Spring has truly sprung and I think everything thinks it is summer. Over night everything seems to have blossomed. On Sunday I went to Beard's Brook a common tourist sight around here. It was so peaceful just listening to the water and seeing the sun glisten off it. Here is a glimpse of Spring in New Hampshire.

1st Weekend in May

This weekend Chris and I went to his aunts house in MA. We did some site seeing which was a whole lot of fun. We learnt a little about Henry David Thoreau and how he was born David Henry and changed his name. For those of you who don't know him he was a writer and he wrote of Walden pond which you see here in the picture.
We also visited Concord and Lexington MA and seen a show on how the British invaded Boston and the surrounding areas. Also how Paul Revere and commorades fought again the British to save their country and countrymen. It was very interesting and now the freedom trail in Boston makes a whole lot more sense to me.
Sunday morning we went to a barn for breakfast. They can cook. Then we did a little more sight seeing. Great weekend.

Animals and Sunset

Spring is here. All the animals are out in the garden. The squirrels and chipmonks are out everyday. The sunsets are beautiful.

Spring

Yeah!!!! I think spring has finally come. It was in the 60's on Friday and Thursday I took some pictures of the maple syrup being made. Something I am not going to see when we eventually move to Baltimore. Think I will start a scrapbook of His Mansion. After 5 years I think it is about time. Notice our house in the background of the picture with the bucket. We live in the half on the left of the red door.

Daniel's Scrapbook

Last week I just finished Daniel's scrapbook. Here are 2 of my favorite pictures. These are his actual hand and foot prints. The second picture has scripture surrounding it. They consist of verses God has been giving to us for comfort and support.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Here is home in sunny New Hamsphire in April with more snow on the way this weekend. They told us that if we have a mild wionter we would get it on the other end of the year and have a snowy spring. I guess this is what is happening. The poor daffodils are trying there harderst to push through the snow.

Happy Easter

Wishing family friends and anyone who knows us a happy easter from the good old USA snow, ice and mud. Last Wednesday nigth we got 8-10 inches of snow and so here we are for the Easter holidays. One home not far from us made an easter snow bunny with a big easter snow egg. Different version of Easter!!!

House

Here is a recent picture of our house.

Basement

In the basement we got the walls painted which were wooden panel and also got new carpet. It is like a whole new room.

Baltimore

Went to Baltimore the week before Paddy's Day. The house is looking well and Mattie has done a wonderful job painting it all. Here are some recent pictures. We have been so blessed and thank you all for your help along the way. Very much appreciated by us both.

Farm Animals

Recently we got a lamb and two of our pigs had piglets. Here are some farm animal pictures

Healing

The weekend of 9th February we got the opportunity to go to Rhode Island and during this time we got to meet up with some dear friends of ours. Here are some of the pictures we took which represents the glory of God and reminded us of how God blesses us even in the midst of trials. Enjoy. We did. Isn't the cross amazing with the formation of the clouds.

February 6th 2007 Daniel's Birth

It is with deep sorrow that I post this
blog. On Saturday 3rd Feb we went to the hospital because I had not felt Daniel move for 3 days. The doctors did a scan and could not find a heart beat. They induced me Saturday night and I eventually delivered Daniel at 5.03am Tuesday morning. We know without a shadow of a doubt that he has gone to be with the Lord which is such a blessing in the fact he did not have to suffer the sin of this world but we will miss him dearly but will never forget him and the joy that he brought in the short life that he had. How he kicked his mum and kept her from sleeping at night. How he responded to his dad when he talked to him. Precious memories. Also we got to spent time with him in the hospital which was such a blessing to us. He just looked like a little baby who was asleep. Do keep us in your prayers as right now this is what is giving us the peace and comfort that we have.

6 Months

Took some pictures with dad. He is still holding up well. Wow! We have reached the six month mark. 24 weeks with 16 to go. Never found out until I was pregnant that you were really pregnant for 10 months instead of 9. Something not right with this deal!!!

1st Pictures of Daniel Alexander Spiess

Here are the first pictures of our unborn son. It is amazing.

Look at these pictures

There is no doubt that he is a boy. Top picture is his foot and bottom is self explanatory. She even put an arrow in for those that need help.

New Year 07

The first day of the New Year and we have not only got a little bit of leftover snow from 27th Dec but we also have loads of ice. Take a look and see.
