HELLO JEREMIAH

We welcomed our grandson Jeremiah into the world on June 28th.  He has continued to bless us every moment since his arrival.  From his ability to make us all laugh when he sneezes like his Poppa (multiple sneezes at once) and then sighs with such relief, to his funny expressions when we are talking to him - he is a GEM!  We are excited to watch this bundle of blessing and joy grow and see what God has in store for him.

GEARING UP FOR BABY JEREMIAH

In preparation for the arrival of our first grandchild, we hauled the crib out of the basement, scuffied it up, bought a new mattress and sheets and set it up in our spare bed room.  That way, if Becca comes over, or if we are watching him for her, he will have a place to lay his weary head <3

Here are a few pictures for you.

Scott and I look like we are in jail in this picture - ah haha.

Scott looking all serious in this picture - too cute.

And last, but not least the crib is "llama" approved.

And Crumptonland is going to have its first Grandchild in July!!  More pictures to come soon.  We are so excited

NEWS NEWS NEWS

Crumptonland is having it's first grandchild!!  Oh what joy!!  God's blessings abound.  We are so excited!  More to follow - but for now know that we are overjoyed and humbled by God's grace and blessings!

HELLO MOLLY MAE

So, Crumptonland has a new member.  Meet Molly Mae.  She is a lab-boxer mix and just a sweet heart.  We got her from one of my cousins.  There was a huge hole left at Crumptonland with our loss of Sweet Hope.  Molly won't replace Hope, that's impossible.  She will, however, ease the hole that was left.  We will post more pictures later, but for now - here she is!

SWEET HOPE

Sadly, Crumptonland has lost our Sweet Hope this week (8/13/2012).  She was diaganosed with cancer, and we fought the good fight, but we couldn't watch her suffer any more.  She had stopped eating, and at the end couldn't walk or wag her tail.  I have attached a tribute that our daughter wrote and posted on her FB page - that I thought was appropriate, we will always love our sweet Hope (endearingly nick-named Hope-less) :

I dedicate this status to my loving dog who has passed she was the sweetest dumb dope I have ever had the pleasure of calling my dog we named her hope when she was a puppy but soon found ourselves saying no hope more than calling her so often she would become confused as to what her true name was :) I love her so much and she will never be forgotten thank you hopey for helping me to not be the only dumb blond in our home for many years rest in peace precious puppy
