WNC State Fair

We went to the fair Sunday afternoon and had a blast. David and Brenda Barksdale joined us, as did cousin Martha Barksdale. Being Barkers, our first stop was the public safety tent to see the equipment (check out the photo gallery). Then it was on to rides and fun. Libby and the other adults stayed and watched Cherryholmes in concert. The rest of us bailed for home at dusk. We had a great time!

Busy Day

Busy weekend's more like it. The church choir had a retreat this weekend. Friday night was a covered dish supper in Montreat. Saturday was singing 9 AM until 3 PM. The guest clinician was Ginger Wyrick from Queen's College, Charlotte (with whom Libby attended elementary school in Eden). Eli had a birthday party for his friend John Paul. Today was church with excellent music at both services. Then this afternoon we were at Camp Rockmont for a youth outing. The lake facilities were open and it was warm (it wasn't the last time we were here in May). Briggs managed to escape naps both Saturday and Sunday; that coupled with a busy couple of hours at the lake led to this at 7 PM!

Expecting

Save the corny jokes; we know what causes it! We're expecting; due sometime in late-February or early-March 2008. Libby's pretty nauseous these days. The pic is from last month at about 13 weeks. To the right is the head; to the left is everything else. The baby's about 2 inches long. Eli's excited; Briggs doesn't know.
