Jillian Rose Houser

May 16 2002 - January 26, 2011

I have to admit that I have been neglecting our blog on purpose because I just could not bring myself to post about Jill. Jillian passed away on January 26th this year, yes... in the same month as we lost our brother Todd (below). Jillian was a strong little girl, such a beautiful little ray of sunshine. She had so many struggles in her life, struggles that would make a grown adult throw in the towel. She was born with Cystic Fibrosis, then last year found out that she had Leukemia. We will miss her so much.

I also want to take a few minutes to thank people that were there for us in our time of need. Jeanette and Dennis, our dearest friends, who let us stay in their mansion-on-wheels, picked Chris and Eric up at the airport on a moments notice, and played Uno Attack with us in the evenings to help take our mind off of things. Misti and Scott, who not only came to Todds funeral when we called Misti, but came to Jill's service when we just were too grief stricken to let her know. Chris and Andrea Minghelli - it was so great to see you, thank you for finding us at Todds fundraiser!

Thank you to everyone!

In loving memory of our brother Todd

Our brother Todd passed away on New Years Day. He leaves behind a wonderful wife, Jen, and two adorable twin boys, Seth and Sam. Todd was 32 years young and had a whole life ahead of him. Our heart hurts from his absence and there won't be a day that goes by that we won't think of him. We love you Todd.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday to Chris

From Drop Box

Well, we got about a foot of snow today and it's Chris's birthday. He got off work about 9:00pm and there was a head on collision between 2 semi-trucks on the highway and it's almost 1:00am and he's still not home yet. But, since the last thing he wants to do is plow the driveway at 1:00am and I secretly like plowing the driveway with the quad (it really is fun!), I plowed the driveway for his birthday.

The Boys

In the few years we've lived here, we see lots of Does, but very rarely to we see any bucks (except baby "button" bucks).

But this guy has been hanging around for a few days now. He has 2 does and 2 fawns with him.

And then, this little guy showed up the next day when it snowed.

My Rain Forest beads were chosen in a collection.

Welcome to the Rainforest!
