Hazel Sadie Clark Born
Hazel Sadie Clark was born on 9 January 2008, at 8:28 am EST She weighted 9 lbs, and measured 21 and 1/2 inches long. Ben and Cindy say she has a full head of dark hair and a great set of lungs!!! Imagine what she would have weighted if she had been born 1 and 1/2 weeks from now when she was supposed be delivered.

Allen and Gayla's Continuing Saga
On Thursday Gayla headed out for work. We had gotten the typical 6-8 inches of snow the night before and we had cleared our driveway of snow. Unfortunately, the roads had not been plowed. Gayla got stuck on the hill right before the front gate. She called me to come get her. I stopped to pick her up and I got stuck. One of our neighbors came up and tried to pass us and they got stuck. They called their dad (the one that plows the roads on Saddle Mountain). He came up and helped me get my chains on. That helped as I was able to get to the top of the hill -- but the chains broke/came off. So I took Gayla to work in my car. When I got back he had plowed the roads so I was able to get my car back to the house. We then went back to Gayla's car -- he towed Gayla's car out of the snow drift. Then I took it home. I can't tell you the number of times we have gotten stuck. We are doing all we can to adjust to the harsh winter we are having. Luckily we have great neighbors that don't mind rescuing the transplanted Virginians!!!!
Good News
I just landed a job working for Liberty Tax Service for the tax season. I will be the Office Manager. I start work next Monday (5 Jan 09) and on Tuesday (6 Jan 09), I start teaching the tax prep class that started Monday!!! Should be interesting.
