A New Year on Hill's Mill Pond Road

This morning Craig woke up and immediately started preparing the leg of lamb for our New Year's dinner. Looks great doesn't it? The men cooked it all day and it was wonderful!

While the lamb was cooking the kids had a great time outdoors. We ran them out early this morning since the weather accurately predicted rain for the afternoon.

We decided to take a walk down the dirt road just to get out of the house and shake off some cabin fever.  I also wanted to get a picture of the mill on our dirt road. There's quite a history on Hill's Mill Pond Rd. and I find it quite fascinating. I've been meaning to get a picture of the old mill since we moved here several years ago, but I always think of it during the spring and summer and the trees and bushes block the view. Brian and Bailey had a particularly enjoyable walk today. Well.... until it started to rain and Pete had to come get us on the gator and Brian got left behind. :) You're a trooper Brian!


This is a picture of Hill's Mill. 


Addie had a great walk down the road and she loves being able to wear her flip flops in December. 


The day ended with a total tickle smackdown from Royce. Addie loves Royce. One night back in the summer we were all watching "The Incredibles" and Addie screams "Mr Incredible looks like Mr. Royce!"  We all cracked up laughing at the realization that in fact Mr. Royce DOES bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Incredible!

  1. I've enjoyed reading your post the last two days. Your crew has delighted in country living. I love the pics of the kids enjoying the outdoors. You know I love it as I HATE the snow. Hope you are well rested for Monday. See you soon.
