As you may remember, the last update (not counting Porky Pig - sorry Porky) was posted on my way to Nigeria. That trip went fine and all is well. While there, they honored me with a custom made outfit. Groovy, ain't it?!?! This is what most men wear and it was a very nice gesture. It included leather sandals and matching pants. Kim and the kids laughed their heads off when I modeled it at home!
Shortly after I got home Molly participated in the annual chorus Chrsitmas concert. That's Molly in the middle behind the microphone. It's a big chorus (less than half is shown) but she is the prettiest and most talented of all!
In another annual tradition, Kyle's basketball team played at the East Kentucky Expo Center during halftime of a high-school tournament featuring teams from all over. On Sunday (1/6) they will play there before the East Kentucky Miners game. The Miners are a CBA (think NBA minor league) team. I'm coaching Kyle's team this year and I'm really enjoying it.
I HAVE to tell this story! Kim and her buddies (the Fantastic Five) did their usually holiday girls-night-out. After taking a group pic at Applebees, they went to WalMart to print it. Deciding it wasn't good, they walked over to the holiday section, grabbed a bow each, stood in front of some trees for sale, and got someone to take their pic. This one turned out good AND it has been good for a thousand laughs!

Christmas Day at home was good too. There are too many good pics for the blog, but you can see a few of them on the Christmas web album if you want.
Kyle and I ended our 1st hunting season together on a bit of a disappointing note. Last Sat. morning (12/29) we watched a group of deer that just wouldn't get close enough. We talked about it and decided to sneak up on them instead of waiting. Our plan worked to perfection! We were less than 100 yards away and they had no idea. Kyle was scoping them out (I was my hands and knees so he could use my back for a gun rest) when something spooked them. We looked and saw some trespassing quail hunters. Kyle went ahead and took a shot but missed. Oh well, there's next year AND we enjoyed this year!
New Years Day we had our traditional Hoppin' John because you gotta have black-eyed peas for good luck. So, we're ready for a great year and we hope that you have one too!
Until next time...
Love,
Keith, Kim, Molly, Kyle, and Blake
