The Big Move

Well...we are just about ready for "The Big Move". I wanted to get on here an make a post before our internet is disconnected here tomorrow due to the move. We will be staying with my parents' for a few weeks and they do not have high speed internet so I'm not sure if I will get any posts on here or not. My cousin has offered to allow me access to her internet which is high speed so that will help. I will try to post an update as soon as I can.

Here's our plans for the next few days. Please keep us in your prayers...especially for safe travel.
Thursday we will drive straight through to PA. We are moving the dogs there.
Friday we will be there for my Grandpa's Estate Sale of personal property.
Saturday we will drive straight through back to SC.
Sunday we will spend the day with our Church Family.
Monday we will pick up the big moving truck and begin loading.
Tuesday we will hopefully leave around noon and drive 1/2 way. My parents are paying for us to get a hotel. Bobby will be driving the moving truck and I will be driving our pick up truck. Connor will be riding with me because there's no room for his carseat in the moving truck...otherwise we would be towing ours.
Wednesday we should arrive in PA by early afternoon.

Like I mentioned above...we'll be staying with my parents until Bobby gets a job and we get back on our feet. It will also be a few weeks before my dad closes on Grandpa's property. And we are thinking about painting some of the rooms before moving all of our stuff in.

SO....for now....I'm signing off. I will update again as soon as I am able! Everyone please keep in touch!!!!!! My personal email will now be: tabithamrogers@yahoo.com OR our kennel email/Bobby's email will now be: taterhillspringers@yahoo.com Our kennel website: www.taterhillkennel.com will remain the same!

New Connor Photos







A Much Needed Update

I apologize for my lack of posts lately. Life has been crazy here with so much going on. We have a major announcement. Many of you may already know or have seen it on our kennel website....We are in the process of moving to York, PA. My Grandpa passed away in June and left the farm to my dad. My dad took the farm and we will be moving onto it. We are so excited. It is seven acres with several pastures and barns. We will be living in the farm house which is 3 stories with 3 bedrooms. I am so excited about having space and storage areas!!!

Dad will continue to raise sheep there. I will be helping him and we are adding a few of our animals to the farm as well. We have already moved our Nubian dairy goats and our two sheep. On Sept. 18th, we will move our Springers up there. We are taking 4 of them. For those of you who "know" them...we are taking: Cheyenne, Gretta, Camila (and her litter of pups) and Jack. Then on our final move date, which is Sept. 23rd, we will be moving our 6 rabbits up there...my good Mini Lops and our pet French Lop.

All of our other animals have already found homes. It was so hard to see them go and it's like a ghost town here now. We don't quite know how to act but we are busy packing.

Bobby has been laid off from his job here in SC and is looking for a new job up in PA. Please pray for us during this time. I know God will CONTINUE to provide.

And now for a Connor Update...................
He's now 5 months old. So hard to believe. He is eating cereal and still nursing. He's also still a munchkin! He was at the doc's for a check up a couple of weeks ago and is 12 lbs. 8oz. and 25 inches long....still wearing most 0-3 months clothing. It's nice that he doesn't grow out of clothes fast! The doc said she is not concerned and someone has to have the little babies!

He is really developing a personality. He loves to suck his thumb, is always smiling, and has started laughing out loud. He now rolls around everywhere from both his belly to his back and back to his belly. His favorite toys are his "huggie", a set of teething "keys", and Roscoe the Banjo Dog that Uncle Jack bought him. He is still sleeping through the night and is a VERY good baby. Mom and dad say that I am spoiled!

Hmmm...well, I guess that's all for now. I will try to post again as soon as we get settled if not before. A photo of the farm can be seen on our website at www.taterhillkennel.com. After 9/17/08, our new email address will be taterhillspringers@yahoo.com.
