Eastern Winter

I spent most of this past winter sleeping in my truck in the parking lot of a railroad yard. I don't know how many times I looked out my window and thought, "What the hell am I doing here? How did I wind up here?" The obvious answer is that I was chasing my job, which is something my Union Officers tell me I should appreciate. Apparently, railroaders have the unique opportunity to travel even further away from their families to keep working. It's better than the unemployment line. Right?

New Favorite Toy

Guess who is a fan of Woody and the gang.

Lucy Likes Her Bath

When Ruby was born she didn't make a whole lot of fuss. When Lucy was born she screamed her head off! When Ruby got her first water bath she screamed her head off, but Lucy was completely content. Everyone kept telling us, "Night and day! They'll be completely different people!"

It's so amazing to see these girls become real people.

The Good Zoo?

We recently went to The Good Zoo at Olgebay in wonderful and wild West Virginia. The first thing we saw at the zoo were some model trains.

Then, we all got on a little train and rode around the zoo.

We didn't see much from the train, but I had a nice view of Marci.

Oh! We did see a Zebra. One Zebra. I think we saw a chicken too. Not much of a zoo.

New Header

Just so you know that I know that yes that is NOT my photo but O Winston Link is my favorite photographer so check him out.

Shrooms and Sprinklers

We've been getting these strange mushrooms in our yard recently.

Now, I know that mushrooms need lots of moisture to grow.

Where could all that water have come from?

Oh, yeah. Ruby LOVES the sprinkler!

Heartaching Cute

Sometimes she's so cute she's hard to look at.

See what I mean?

Jay, Aline, and Kai come to visit

Our good friends, Jay and Aline, came from Columbus to visit us the other day, and Ruby was so excited to see her friend Kai.

She made him read Strawberry Shortcake books to her. That's just how we roll.

Ruby: Before and After

Just wanted to repost this picture with another one to show that Ruby really is the sweetest girl ever, and she just happens to be good at making "not-very-happy" faces!

This is Ruby's sister, Lucy Marie Beighley. When this photo was taken she had just turned one month old.

This is Ruby Lynn Beighley. And that is her french fry.
