We were checking out the old train station during Saline’s Summerfest when Nick and Ashlee found this old phone. They were a little confused on how you made a call, they were wondering how you “dialed” so we had to show them how those old dial phones used to work.
Just so you guys know, we have added a few baby-related posts to our blog recently and will be adding more content (like more pictures) soon. So check it out and then check back in a few days. : )
So even though everyone already knows, I thought you would be interested to see the baby announcement that Amy made to tell all of our facebook peoples. She wanted to post it today because she feels lucky to have her 24th birthday 24 weeks into her pregnancy. Enjoy!
So for those of you who have and haven’t wondered what exactly I was doing during field school this past spring term, here is a good look at what I was doing. There are a few videos and some articles as well. Enjoy!

It’s all my fellow MedSport workers, Jamie, Jake, Melissa, and Me.
EDIT:
Ok I tracked down the picture if you don’t want to click through.
Just a little reminder for us so we can all see what Nick’s smile used to look like. Why do we need to remember? Well, in about 30 minutes he is going in to get his braces. Last week he went in and had 8 spacers inserted between some of his teeth. And today is the big day, when the braces go. Stay strong Nick! And remember, ultimately it’s for the ladies.
I know, a week late with the post. I meant to put this up last week but, you know, Mother’s Day and all.
As I was mowing the lawn and trimming the day before Mother’s Day, I came across a couple of little baby animals all around our deck. The first was a tiny burrow with 4 baby rabbits in it. I was lucky none of them got caught in the mower. I only saw 3 at first, they all took off running in opposite directions. I finally rounded 2 of them up and got them back. One escaped to the forest behind our house. Then, when I started up the mower again a fourth one I never even saw went bounding away. So I rounded that one up and put it with it’s siblings.
Later, I think it was Becky that spotted the bird’s nest in our deck, only a few feet from the rabbits. If you look closely in the last picture you can see 2 little picks sticking out the side. We think there were 4 baby birds total.
And as evening set in, the rabbit parents returned, and the baby that escaped into the woods was with them.
So when they released the 1940 census recently, I was interested in finding Dad’s parent’s info and Mom’s grandparent’s as well, and comparing it to the 1930 census. I had a harder time finding Mom’s side of things, since the Indian census and the National census didn’t always coincide as well as one would think. Anyways, comparing the two, it really is see how blessed the Freemans were in terms of getting through the depression. Each census page with the info is shown below, you’ll probably have to enlarge them to clearly see the questions that head each column.
So, we’ve been meaning to scan this picture from the Uncle Kennys for years now, and Steve finally did it. Thanks Steve!

Check out what dropped in while we were eating dinner this evening.
