Before Doug and I got married, we knew we not only wanted to be in a couple’s small group Bible Study, but also we wanted to host one. It has been over three years of praying, but finally…..we have arrived.
In January of 2022, we thought we were ready. God had another plan. Upon a few couples coming and going, we finally have our small group, and OH, do we adore each couple. We are all in similar life stage, AND we each share some major similarities. It is a true blessing.
We decided to have a Christmas gathering. Tot sat in the living room as we gathered and joined us here and there..(along with Woody). We waited for our guests to arrive. Here’s my handsome honey. (and our beautifully decorated home).
Alex and Von.
Doug and Giselle.
Julie and Matt.
And Tot… with a little cute feathered friend on her ….head?
We enjoyed our White Elephant gift exchange…and we are all still friends! HEEHEE
My honey made cappuccinos for everyone and ..well, let’s just say he has a second career if needed. YUM!
And Giselle bonded with Coopy.
Tot made sure Woodrow had fun …especially on the train!
We are so grateful for our friends….and for our new little birdie!
I think Cooper is still trying to figure it all out. …..?!
When I was ten, my mom surprised me with a new yellow parakeet. I named him Woodrow (Woody). He was my best little friend for about five years in my adolescence.
Fast forward &%^$AHEM years to Tot being 10. She’s been BEGGING for a bird. Well, after a few months of studying, learning, shopping and waiting, we bit the bullet; took the plunge; swallowed the pill etc and BOUGHT ONE! We found a great little store called Birds and then Some. They only have a few hand-fed parakeets at a time and they go FAST. So this Saturday, we had to jump on board! This little guy stole our hearts. He instantly bonded with Tatum and me.
Upon purchasing the cage, a few toys, some millet, and seeds, he was OURS! Little Woodrow.
Homeward bound!
When we got home…Oh yes, Coopy! Meet your new brother.
He’s very curious! Wagging his tail profusely, Coopy was truly excited! (He forgets he’s much bigger than Woody, so we have to teach him “GENTLE!”
Now, we are teaching him to ride around on our shoulder. Eventually, to fly to us, as well as talking!
Remarkably, he already trusts Tatum and me. Not skittish in any way! We are so blessed with our new feathered-Christmas present.
We love you!
He sure is happy here> He even joins our Hay Happens meetings perched on Daddy’s light.
