well - as far as family pictures goes, this is about as good as it gets. we decided since we are already as nice as we get, we would take some pics at church. i have been on a writing hiatus, i know, but i am hoping to get better at least with some pictures and brief updates on our life. we are heading up to nc next week to visit with my family, and enjoy some time away. the only thing that comes

well - i wanted to post some pictures, and say that brody has kept me on my toes lately. i have really had to step up the discipline and work hard on being firm and consistent and whoo i am worn out. but ya gotta love the little guy. enjoy!this is us at the truck and tractor show we took brody to for his birthday...

Wow - i have gotten really lax on this writing thing. time has definitely become more precious. it seems we fall into bed every night just exhausted. usually before 10pm. life is full, and we are having to learn even more than ever to prioritize. adam`s job is demanding, as am i, and of course the boys. we are in the process of joining the church we have been attending, and getting involved with

so - brody got his first haircut by someone other than us earlier this month and i felt like he`looked 12 years old afterwards. he wiggled just a little, but the sucker and another little boy waiting kept his focus off the scissors.

wow - so it's been awhile. it's hard to know where to start. let's see. sam is growing up fast - over 12 pounds at his 2 month checkup. he sleeps very well at night, and we are working on day naps - right now they are sporadic. he loves to watch brody play, and be held, and he does like the playmat - but he can only take so much of the hanging animals and music. brody has been talking more (weird

life with sam and brody has been very full to say the least. sam is literally a dream...he sleeps a lot and is so far very easy. brody loves being around him - and wants to play with him so badly...he kisses him and touches him and does not like it when i take sam away to get some peace and quiet. i can't seem to say a lot more than that. we love our new addition to the family - and while i am

Well the adventures are far and few between these days. Work is pretty exciting, but who wants to here about work. Here are some interesting facts though. The assembly line we are installing covers 40,000 sq.ft.; It should crank out about 300 evaporator "refrigeration" units a day. We start full production in 1 week and the plan for the assembly line is not working. So it's real nerve racking for

well, we had a great getaway to Savannah this past weekend. We met our good friends Joel and Kelly there, and despite a power outage and a minor car accident, we enjoyed our time. it can be a bit more difficult to enjoy trips being pregnant, but i must say i really did have fun. and i was thinking that when i lived in augusta, i probably went to savannah at least 5 or 6 times with friends, but

well, we are moving into august and we have not melted yet. i have been trying to do as much as i can before i begin to waddle around and lose energy as i head into my last 12 weeks of pregnancy. brody has not seemed fazed by the big belly, promptly pointing to his when he sees mine. i guess he just believes his mom has a big bowling ball belly and that's normal. all my prenatal check-ups have

life has been moving right along in the Ray house...summer has definitely brought the heat to south georgia, and has me a bit less motivated to be outdoors - unless in a pool. brody enjoys being in his little wading pool, and big pools. he loves to splash and is frighteningly fearless as we move around in the pool. we have been going every week to adam's aunt and uncle's house to swim with the

Wow! Sometimes I cannot believe it has been a year since I gave birth to Brody. We had a pretty average day, but in the afternoon, Brody's grandparents and aunts came to visit - with balloons and a musical card! We all watched Brody play with the new set of wheels Adam and I gave him. I hope this won't give him high expectations when he turns 16, but it sure was fun to watch him get so excited

Big news! CO is pregnant again and the #2 is due in late October. She is real nervous and unsure about how she is going to handle 2 babies at one time, but realizes that no matter how hard it gets, she'll get through it."the anticipation of misery is worse than the misery itself"She is reluctant to tell anybody because she feels like she should be more excited, and is still getting adjusted to

well - the last picture posted was at the beach in west palm. we made one last trek down the east coast to attend a friend's wedding in west palm, and then on to Big Pine. we stayed in our house - still not sold, but very close i believe. adam says it was good closure for us, for the house definitely does not feel like ours anymore, and, although it was so nice to be back in the Keys breezes and

i realize that my posts have been brief and far between, but it has seemed very difficult to write lately. brody wants the computer so badly that i can't really get on while he is awake, and sleep has been very difficult for me lately, so little effort has been put into the blog. since moving to tifton, i have really come to terms with being a stay at home mom. in moultrie, i was always occupied

look at that handsome face! underneath all that charm lies a man of determined action, one who seeks daily to unroll all the toilet paper in the house, open every cabinet, stick his hand in every toilet bowl, and live outside if he were allowed. not at all afraid to roam into dark places and investigate, he is just the most curious little being. and does not like to be handed the same old boring

No? Well, then, I will continue.) You see, right now he is screaming his head off because he sees me when he stands up in the pack n play. So, not only am I doing everything

I know that it seems at times that all we do is sit around and take pictures of our son...and sometimes that is sadly the truth. he is just so fun and cute! but, i am trying to do better with the "out and about" shots. i have never been good about that. i am just too busy enjoying what we are doing to think about where the camera is, and sticking it in everyone's face and asking them to smile.

804 days from the day we arrived to the day we leave. I don't know what to call the 804 days. A vacation? a detour? a time of growth? a time to learn about the depths of our character? a time in paradise or a time in Hell on earth? mid-life crisis? an escape from reality? a play time?

brody's 4 months marked much more activity and his emerging gentle personality. he has grown much more comfortable with people (ie - no more screaming when an old lady from church gets in his face). we have had an active social schedule this past month including a going away party, a wedding, visit with family, and church activities, and he has been a champ. he will attempt to stay up forever, so

$250,000,000 or 1/4 Billion is a lot of money. I bought a lottery ticket the other day and that is the winning amount. I was flabbergasted! I don't follow the lottery and I hardly ever buy tickets. I usually buy them for the entertainment of thinking about what I would do with all that money. Great for 13 hour road trips.

well - we made it back to BPK, and all 3 of us exhausted! Brody and I had a whirlwind weekend, trying to pack everything in 4 days. Before we left, Adam and Brody and i went to the beach for a picnic dinner. Then we all got up and drove up to Ft. Lauderdale to catch our flight. Saturday, we went to my friend Kelly's for a cookout - we had to leave early for my niece Mackenzie's 6th birthday party

My wife has blessed me and this blog site with her love for God and for me through her great writing ability. Her words are very encouraging and for a lack of a good $1 word, I must say "disciplinary". She has made me out to be better than I really am. My heart wants to be all she says I am, but reality hits me square in the eyes and I must say I am not the man she portrays me as.I will say this

No, this is not Adam writing to or about himself, it’s his wife, Christine. I am posting this one day early due to the fact that we must get up at 3am tomorrow to drive to the Ft. Lauderdale airport – Brody and I are taking to the air to visit family and friends in North Carolina. This is our 4th year of celebrating his birthday together, and I am so amazed at where our life has taken us. I

Adam just got his phone hooked up with YouMail (www.youmail.com)...an internet cell phone messaging service, and he can leave personalized voice mail messages for specific phone numbers. So, when I call his phone, i get a special "I love you " message. Now, ain't that sweet? It is now more difficult to get mad at him for not answering his phone, when the voice mail says to me, "Hey baby, I love

I'm currently working at Lifetime Dock and Lumber. I spend my day building Docks and boat lifts for the super rich who live on the water. My office has a great view and the guy I work with is a Christian, so it's the best of both worlds. I feel like I'm on vacation compared to the misery of teaching.Last week we went to St. Augustine, where my family rented a house on the ocean. This year has

I build docks and install boat lifts. So far it has been really fun. I work with a bunch of guys that like to work hard and "get 'er done".

a friend of mine, lets call him Jason, came down during spring break to go fishing. Being the true fisherman that he is, caught 2 nice size snapper. They tasted awesome!I on the other hand caught everything from a 3" long lobster in tangled in the grass on my hook; to this seagull trying to get a free lunch.

I'm sure he is exaggerating, but sometimes on this end it feels that way.Brody has been living a life of adventure so far.2 Key West Sunsetsseveral trips to the Big Pine Flea Market (the main attraction on Big Pine)A couple of laps down Duval street.Dinner in 3 very nice

So far it's been pretty fun. Brody is turning out to be a very inquisitive fellow. He loves to look at stuff, even though they say he can't really see good. He sure does a good job faking it. I keep getting the feeling he is about to make a comment about something he is looking at.When people are around talking he has to be there in the middle of it, watching. It's almost scary because I feel

born: 10:09pm 4/24/2007 - 7lbs 6oz - 20" long -blond hair blue eyesTHE STORYCO started having contractions at 9 pm on Monday. So I'm thinking it'll be a long night so I'd better get some sleep while I could. Her contractions went all night spaced out about 5-8 minutes and lasting about 30 seconds each. The doctor told her not to go to the hospital until she got a lot worse when she called around

We are going to go in today to get induced or get a little help in the process. CO has been having 30-40 second contractions every 5-7 minutes since 9 last night. She's tired but feeling good.Looks like we're GO for launch!

We have not left the launch pad yet. CO is doing good considering the bowling ball in her gut. My parents are down until the baby comes.I'm at school by myself and Christine is at home resting.

this was taken Monday 4/2. The doctor says everything is really good. the baby has dropped a little and could weigh 6-7 lbs. I'm thinking 6lb 9oz and CO is thinking 7lbs.We feel like she has gotten bigger since Monday. She has her stuff in the car ready to go and she is going to try to make Friday of next week her last day with the kids. We have a teacher work day on the Monday the 16th, when the

This is me taking off and going up wind. They want you to learn how to go up wind before you learn how to go down wind for apparent reasons. I did get some air , but I wiped out both times because I didn't have the kite in the right place. But I know now.The speed was pretty incredible. A very strange feeling to go that fast without a motor. Once I got the hang of it I was surprised at how easy

The summer before we got married. There were a lot of kite boarders at the beach where we go to every year. The surf was blown out and I wanted to learn how to kite board. I called CO to ask permission. My first sacrifice in marriage. "We" decided it wasn't a good idea.Yesterday I actually went kite boarding for the 1st time. 25-30 mph winds, too much to learn in, but Dean the guy who owns the

We are almost there. CO gets bigger everyday. Yesturday the doctor said everything looked perfect. We are doing really good, except when we are hungry :)She is doing a bible study on listening to God, which is perfect for our situation because we don't have a clue on what we should do when school is over.SO! we're learning how to patiently listen.

This is how good CO looks these days. She had a really good week, but a bad night last night. I'm glad she can rest this weekend. She gets up about 10-15 times a night! For someone who loves sleep as much as her, she is handling the situation like a champ or like a mom! I kinda feel sorry for baby Ray though, because he'll probably never hear the end of it. He better be good.She went to the doc

this cartoon was in the paper last week. It really rubbed me the wrong way and before I could settle down, I had email the entire staff with the question "does this offend anyone?" and I emailed the editor.My letter to the editor is below the cartoon. It was in today's paper. I'm a little embarassed about expressing my opinion on the matter, but I'm also kinda happy that I made the paper.

I figured it out. Julie B had this on her blog which is linked. She probably understands how this thing works. I just guessed and got lucky, so there is no telling what this thing will show. I also found out people hack into blogs, if you see something tht doesn't look right please let me know.

This was in today's paper. I think I know what happened. I hope they find the guy.I'm amazed at the difficulty I'm having at processing what happened. The boat is safe under our house and the jib is repairable and the boat is fine. I'm still missing the boom, and mainsail. I keep thinking about it floating away a couple of times and going to get it and trying to stick it back in the front hatch.

At 8am when my boat capsized. it was blowing 40 mph.If you didn't know I capsized my boat read the next blog.I went to where my friend pulled it to shore and waded out to get the rest of my stuff and figure out the damage.

My sailboat capsized.The story:Saturday was going to be sunny with 8-10mph winds ENE. So I figured a great day to go out to Looe key about 5 miles out in the Atlantic. Around 2-3pm the wind would start blowing from the WNW, good wind to come in on and I was going to sleep on the boat just south of big pine at a place called the coral heads, about 4-5 miles west of the boat ramp.

This is our ad in the paper. We are going to run it for 28 days and let God work His Wisdom and Power.

Before we went I felt like I was about to win a 100ft sail boat or a 2 story house on 40 acres of land.The doc measured the heart beat and and it was really high, which meant it is usually a girl, so the doctor said. So I'm preparing for a girl. She cranked up the sonar and was looking at the baby, which to me looked liked black and white jello with little marshmellows and toothpicks.Then the doc

Finding out about the inner "man" can be a scary thing. The first thing to keep in mind is that the inner man does not just pop out real easy, so you can get a good look at it, and then tuck back in, out of the way. Usually there has to be a lot of pressure on the outside or on the inside to find out what your inner "man" looks like. And once it pops out you can't tuck it away and forget about it

Hello Baby Ray!! That's him or her sucking thumb and just hanging out .We are both really excited and kinda nervous as to how this whole thing is going to work out. Once we learn how to trust God with our situation, He adds a little more to the kitty.This addition will be a happy burden though.I hope all is well for everybody, and I look forward to sharing this whole deal with you in the future.

We ended up getting Weds free of kids too. It was nice. Then we had a 3 day weekend for labor day, but the weather has been a little cloudy and wet. Which has bumbed me out a little because I'm in the mood for some sun and fun. I did manage to go out on the boat for a little on both days, but not long enough to satisfy the itch.CO went up to New York for a cousins wedding this weekend. She is

Baton down the hatches! Well we are having our 1st hurricane day. It's nice. Monday the teachers had to go in for a couple of hours to make sure everything was ready for the possible hurricane. Any day with out kids is a holiday for me. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon putting up the storm shutters on the house and making sure nothing was loose around the house.Today has been real easy.

School started up last week and so far it's gone rather smoothly. My kids have the potential to be wacko, but I've been picking off the trouble makers as they show up on radar. So far I've made a girl cry and gave a real trouble maker a nervous breakdown because he saw his chances of graduating from high school crumble in the 2nd day after he challenged one of my decisions.I was a complete wreck

We have been practicing retirement for the last few weeks and it's been good, bad and ugly. I've got more projects and stuff I want to do than I can shake a stick out.Here is a list of some stuff that has gone on in the last month.-built an outdoor shower. I built a cheap version, then spent more $ and built it the correct way, after being disgusted with the look and performance. No walls yet for

I just found a recording that I recorded last year.It is rough and boring, but really shook me to the core because I had completely forgotten I had ever recorded it. I'm going to try to upload it in its original recording, but I'll use the phone if I got to in order to get it here. This one recording is the one reason why I started blogging in the first place.I wanted to track our course through

well - i am sitting here watching my students take my final exam. it is an exciting feeling knowing that this year is almost over. i can taste it. and then, when i look back to the shaky beginnings, it makes me realize how much i have learned. a friend told me just yesterday that we should always try things that make us uncomfortable every once in a while. at first i cringed when she said that,

R&R Racing history R&R Racing has been my company for a long time now. It was created during a period where my records and thoughts were recorded on paper. Those original papers did not survive the nomadic life style I had during my 20's. Also the years of converting from paper to digital has resulted in the loss of precious records that held the secrets to the development of my way of thinking,

This is the last day for the seniors, which makes up 4 out of 5 of my classes.In reflection, the year has been a draw. I feel like I lost the classroom control battle, but I have gained the experience to put next year's battle in my favor to win!NOW for the AWESOME news of the FIRST DAY.We are the proud owners of an 18' sail boat! The mast is taller than our house! It's built for speed and

I was thinking the other day about our situation down here and it turned comical. So I’ll share.1 The year we move to the keys just so happens to be the worst year in history for hurricanes in the keys.2 When we need to drive 30 miles to work everyday the gas prices are at an all tine high and it is the first time we have ever lived in a place where the gas is WAY above the National Average.3 Our

Things are ticking right along.We finally made it out to Looe Key, 5 miles out there is a protected reef, it was very nice. We went with a neighbor.I'm still trying to find a technique of teaching that suits my personality. It involves as little talking as possible.Christine is doing a study with the women in the church and she has grown so much in Christ it's amazing to watch. She still

Well it is one week after springbreak and I found out that my seniors are having their final exams 1 week early and my 9th graders,only 7th period, is having their exam onthe 1st day of exams. Bottom line:I get to stop teaching or whatever goes on in my classrooms early.That's the good news, the bad newsis, I'm not there yet.I have been trying to upload some pictures, but it just doesn'twant to

I couldn't go on my little adventure because my neck was injured. I also have to add, my backbones were messed up as well because my bottom right rib keeps popping out of its place.So I just built a tool shed under the house to relax.Beforeafter.

2 weeks ago today I woke up and went down stairs to sit on a swing I made out of a big blue mooring rope I found on the beach. This is a 50 foot rope with 2 huge loops at each end. I arranged the rope under the house so I can hang my kayaks and other stuff and use the loops for swings.Saturday, I got everything where I wanted it with nails. For the swings I was going to come back and put in big

Well I have made my choice and it will cost me $70 to "renig", I think that stands for renegotiate?, if it doesn't, it ought to. It's really nice and EXPENSIVE! It does just about everything and fits into a waterproof cigarette holder, which is super cool. I'll use that until I can swing for a waterproof case that you can get. That one lets you take underwater photos down to 40 meters, or around

I meant to update the periodic trackers of the Ray Ray show this weekend, but just lounged around instead.First-We did meet some new friends through our neighbors. They own a house on a canal on the other side (rich side) of Big Pine. They have a 22 foot cat with 2 250 Susukis on the back. And a jet ski. GOOD FRIENDS, should be a better term.

Well! I finally did it! I put my money where my mouth is. For those who know me well can testify that I'm a big talker about nanotechnology and how it's going to change the world. And just to let you know, I have still not found anyone that I can have a good conversation about it. It's always just me talking to someone who thinks I watched one too many episodes of Star Trek.( Which I did enjoy

It's not even my idea.Our church or pastor has decided to make hundreds of t-shirts that say "The church has left the building", the shirt looks pretty cool too. Instead of selling them to the members, he is going to give them to whoever wants one; under one condition. You have to do random good deeds to
