What will it be?

Boy or Girl?!

It's a Zoo Day

Obviously, we've been tremendously lax on posting updates on our blog. So sorry... You see, my Camera has been malfunctioning and needing a visit with the Fix-it-Man. It has been just recently that Cam can shoot properly again. However, with other busyness, I haven't made the time to post either...

So.. with some good pictures from the zoo, I thought everyone would enjoy seeing what I captured:

I think he is a pretty good catch, don't you agree? ;o)

Here is a photo taken by Kevin... artistic, eh?


Previously, I've always tried to give the impression that the zoo animals were taken somewhere other than in the zoo. For example, try not to show the cages, bars, etc...but zoom in, snap a photograph that would give the image of being totally free in the wild. With that, here is the elegant Scarlet Macaw. God truly has made things beautiful! I just love the vibrant colors? By the way, Mr. Macaw could even say hello!

The common Monarch butterfly.

Kevin snaped a picture of this Blue Butterfly

Kevin took this pictures of the African Wild Dog.

It was quite warm by mid-afternoon at the zoo. I found it very refreshing sitting under the sprinkler system!

A cute baby money born in 2008. Isn't he still very little?!

Kevin-- monkeying around.

Now, remember, at the zoo, you seriously don't want to fall in with the animals. It can be very hazardous to the health and well being of the animals if they decide to eat you for lunch. Not to mention, it might not be too pleasant to be considered some-one's lunch. :)

The Rhinos were having a bit of a hustle

I loved the RED Panda-- he looks so snugly. :o)

Ride 'em, Cowboy!

Independance Day was an exciting celebration! We enjoyed the day with Darleen's family and the Ceausu family. Thanks to Mr. Ceausu, we all had a chance to ride his jet boat and do a little water tubing.

Here are a few pictures snapped throughout the day. Enjoy!

A Post? A Post? Shall We Post a Post?

Um... Life has been extremely busy these days. Kevin has been working full time, and more. Any moment he has off, it is time for extra sleep, Tutor Training for a home-based job position, and travels to various locations.

As for me, morning sickness hits at various times of the day, so in between spurts of nausea, I try to accomplish all the tasks around the house, cooking, cleaning, and a little reading. (Currently, I'm reading three books, a Tale of Two Cities, Vanya, and a child rearing book.)

In our travels, Kevin and I drove down to the Nashville Advanced Training Institute Conference. It was superb! Various speakers spoke powerful messages about Christian living. Also, we were able to visit Biblical Missions WorldWide (BMW) June 10th, a mission board located outside of Atlanta, GA. It was a great time of fellowship with the state-side BMW team. We learned a lot and are now praying about what direction God would have us to go.

Summer is almost here, isn't it? The weather in Tennessee has sure heated up... We praise the Lord for Air Conditioning! :)

Well, a better update will soon follow.

'Till next time, Tally HO!

Camping Citico

The weather has been a beaut these days. It has been sunny, warm, and breezy. Perfect weather for camping.

Kevin and I took a two day camping trip at Cherokee's National Forest this week. What a delightful time we had together. We were able to get away from the norm of busy life, spend some quality time together, experience God's beautiful handiwork, and take time to praise God for the many blessings He has given to us.

The area we camped totally picturesque. Unfortunately, I failed to bring along my SLR Canon camera. I missed my good friend. Nonetheless, I did carry the compact Canon Powershot camera. It did the job it was supposed to do: capture an overview of our time together.

Here are a few snaps shots of our time in Citico, Tennessee:

Feeling accomplished after setting up camp.

Supper with a side of Pork and Beans

We had to take a self portrait together!

The creek bank just outside our tent.

Chilling the Crush!

It took a while to start up our fire, but Kevin did a fine job at getting a good blaze that lasted all through the night.

Using a rock as a tripod and setting the 10-sec timer, we snapped a couple's portrait.

Not forgetting this! :)

Citico Creek

Kevin all snuggled up for the night. Warm!

Together

On a camping trip, always bring a cap, unless you want to display your bad hair day.

Goofing around...

Apple-Cheddar-Sausage Quiche was for breakfast. It was scrumptious!

Our morning devotions.

Butterflies

After breakfast and devotions, we headed for a long hike. Along the way, I found this pretty flower tree.

Here we are again.

I was really missing the SLR Camera by this time...

We found a box turtle taking his time on the trail.

Kevin and Mr. Tortoise posing for a picture.

Kevin with his trustee truck. (Note: this truck has been a great blessing. With the purchase of our travel home in Nov., this truck was included in the price. We still cannot believe how perfectly God has provided for our needs. When the times comes for mission deputation, this truck will haul our home around.)

A Married Couple!!

First Come Love, Then Comes Marriage...

...then comes the Westons with a baby carriage!

We're pleased to announce that we're going to have a baby! We're praising God for His little blessing to us!
