Happy New Year!!!!!
It is only fitting that if we had a Christmas baby.....we should have a New Year's baby!!!!! And that is just what happened. At 10pm New Year's Eve there was a knock at the door....it was Anephias telling us that his wife was "sick." That's what the husbands all say when their wives are in labor. (It's a good thing Sal and I didn't try another hotel excursion!) So Sal jumped in the vehicle with Anephias directing the way to one of our own villages....but due to the rains, Sal had to be shown a different way and he still drove through water halfway up the side of the vehicle! LandRovers are great! Eunice was brought back to the clinic....since it was her first baby, Sal got to sleep even if it was on the couch. At 11:55am Eunice had a baby boy.....first baby of 2008!!!
Funny....we have about 60 families on the farm.....and both the Christmas baby and the New Year baby were from within the family of Sons of Thunder!!!! What are the odds of that happening?
And.......there was a wedding on the farm on New Year's Day!!! Cathbet (another one of our family) and Mildred were married in the church at 2pm. So a baby and a wedding already in 2008...new beginnings!!!!
So what are you saying God???
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you from both of us!
