Christmas Eve Blair Witch Project

The day before this was video was shot, we were leaving the house and saw that one of the cats had caught a mouse and was playing with it. This was a new experience for the kids, who were pretty fascinated by it.But because we had to go, we didn't know what the fate of the mouse was. The next day, the remains of the mouse were found on the carport. The kids were excitedly running in the house telling me to "come outside the cat killed the mouse, come see daddy". While I was getting ready, they ran outside and discovered they weren't the only ones who had found the mouse. Our dog, Jack, had discovered the mouse. Here are the true events that followed that chance encounter...

A Post to Brag on "Mrs. Preacher"

It genuinely embarrasses Lorie to call attention to her achievements, but I'm proud of my wife. Last night Lorie was honored by the Amory School Board for achieving her National Board Certification. One other teacher from Amory Schools achieved certification this year.

The video I took was at an awkward angle because the school board meeting was in a smaller room and more informal setting than I expected, so I just kind of taped it from my chair.

Red Ribbon Week at West Amory Elementary

Last week was Red Ribbon week in Amory City Schools. Lorie was in charge of preparing the students for their performance at West Amory. I went to school to tape the program for Lorie. I was surpised that the school had hired a musical group to perform at the assembly. The group, Isaach Joseph, was very good. The kids and teachers had a blast. Later that day they performed at Miriam's school. Click continue reading for videos from the event.

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago.  Although it may not capture much visually, this picture means a lot to me because of the event that it records.  Miriam and Noah had asked to go outside to play.  Normally I only allow them to play in the fenced in back-yard, but this day they didn't want to annoyed by Olive, our Great Dane.  After a few minutes I went out to the side yard to check on them and discovered that they had set up their chairs outside and Miriam was reading Noah's dinosaur book to him.  These are memories I never want to forget.
