Rachel's New Job - Director of Child Nutrition

School Board Announces Personnel Changes


The Johnston County Board of Education approved several personnel changes during their monthly meeting on Tuesday. Rachel Findley was named Director of Child Nutrition, replacing Beth Taylor who retired in December.

Neighborhood Deer

Daniel got a couple of pictures of the neighborhood deer in the yard of the house across the street from us.  The deer roam the neighborhood and usually go through our neighbor's yard on the way to another house down the street that feeds them.  They've stayed out of our backyard since we got chickens though. 

Foyer Construction

Daniel's been working on putting down hardibacker in the foyer to get ready for the tile.

Guest Bathroom Progress

Daniel put down hardibacker on the bathroom floor today and sconces on the wall.  Hopefully our tile will come in this week.

Grandma Barbara Findley

Daniel would like to share some photos of Grandma Barbara he has scanned over the past few years.

She will be greatly missed:

Welcome baby!

We had our second baby shower last weekend. Margaret hosted it last weekend at her house and it was lovely. The food was great (thanks to some careful planning and the supper club girls!) and my mom made a very yummy cake. We got plenty of bath time necessities which will come in handy when she gets here. Hopefully by then we'll have a functioning second bathroom. Joy came to the baby shower and brought along her camera, that's why we don't have any pictures of her! That's where all these beautiful pictures came from (www.joylynphotography.com). She's fab in case you didn't know. All in all, it was a really great shower. Thanks Margaret for all your hard work!!

SNOW!

Daniel has been working on the house lately (as usual). He's working on the second bathroom quite feverishly. We ordered our tile for that bathroom and for the foyer last weekend. It was supposed to come in this weekend but I bet all the snow/ice held everything up. We won't have the "tile guy" to come over and help out till the weekend of Feb 20. A co-worker of Daniel's is going to come over and help since he's done many tile projects before. We just have to make sure we have all the supplies. Luckily we won't have to worry about using that bathroom for a while. After the tile is in, we'll have to order the granite for the vanity--then we might just have a working bathroom. It's the little things in life right? We'll post pictures of the progression sometime this week!

School Pictures - Fashion Faux Pas

Rachel in 5th (with pink headband) and 6th (with white hair tie) grade at Wesley Chapel Elementary and Sun Valley Middle School

Daniel in 5th (with black undershirt), 6th (with white undershirt), and 7th (no undershirt) grade at Robbinsville Elementary and Middle School

Does every kid wear the same shirt for multiple years of school pictures?  Does this happen on purpose?

Rachel and Daniel both committed this fashion faux pas, but was it on purpose?


Also of note, Daniel wore an Atlanta Braves shirt in 8th grade (below), making it 4 years in a row with Atlanta Braves shirts for school picture day.
