If there were an award for the worst blogger ever...I would win hands down!! It has been so long that I don't even know what my last post was about. Oh well, life goes on.

Things are well in the Walls' household...just busy, busy. For starters it is show season, which is a new venture for us. Since September, our lives have basically revolved around the feeding schedule of our two show pigs. It has been fun though and I think it has been a good thing for the boys. It is a good lesson in responsibility and patience, and unfortunatly, Kyler has also learned what it feels like to not do very well. Our pigs have not done as well as we would have hopes, but Kyler has blossomed into a very good showman. It is hard for a 10 year old to understand that the judge not liking the pig has nothing to do with him. It is also hard saying goodbye to these animals that have become pets to the boys, but as they are learning, that too is part of raising show animals. This weekend marks the end of this season for us, and I am looking forward to the break. It will be short though becasue we are expecting baby pigs in March.

Another thing that has kept us busy, is the new business venture we are preparing to undertake. Ray and I are going to open a feed store here in Blackwell. It is something we have been working on since before Christmas. Things are finally starting to fall into place now and we are hoping to be in business by May. We are very excited about this step in our lives, and while we know that things are not going to be easy, we feel like this is the path that the Lord is leading us down. We would appreciate any and all prayers as we continue down this road.

Other than that, not much is going on. The kids are doing well. Tyson is starting to read, and seems to be doing very well at school. Things are also great with his leg. He no longer limps on it and is has not seemed to bother him at all. He will have to go back to the doctor in a year just to make sure it is growing properly. Kyler is doing good as well. He is getting so big, I wonder where the time goes. While school is still not his thing, he has blossomed in other ways. He has done a wonderful job with the pigs and has never shyed away from the work that goes into them. I am also confident that he is going to be invalueable to me at the store when we get it going.

Well I guess that is all I have for now. Hopefully, it will not be 6 months before I post again!
