Thanksgiving Photo Shoot for a Christmas Card

Dale and Larry Fillmer

Dale and Larry Fillmer

Thanksgiving weekend is just about to wind down and move into the 25 day rush to Christmas.  It was a nice weekend with some nice rain showers and lots of food.  I just finished watching one of the more lousy versions of the Iron bowl (if you are an Auburn fan) over the last few years and it ended in an Alabama romp.  Alabama played well and will have a full plate next week coming up against Florida in the SEC Championship game.

Early on Thursday I did a quick photo shoot for Dale and Larry Fillmer (that would be mom and dad) for their Christmas card.  Here are a few from the shoot that were my favorites (don’t think any of these made it on the card, but these were the ones I liked).  Looking forward to the new series that starts tomorrow at cumc called Simple Christmas.  Something we can all take to heart, focusing on what is important at Christmas and why we celebrate the holiday in the first place, can’t wait.  If you are in the Auburn area, come by at 9am or 11am and see what it’s all about.

I am really looking forward to this Christmas season and all the possibilities of the upcoming new year.  I always look forward to the changing of the new year.  It always seems to bring change and a new time of growth for my family, as it is with many, and I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for us in 2009.  Celebrating a Simple Christmas is going to be a great place for my family to transition into the new year.

Thanksgiving Week on the Farm with Dad and John Deere

Larry Fillmer on the Tractor

It’s Thanksgiving week and that means that Auburn University classes are over for the holiday break.  For the last few years this week has been the time which my dad, Larry Fillmer, takes a few days off from work and gets on the John Deere tractor and cuts the pasture grass for the winter.  There is around 20-30 acres of actual grass to cut, so it usually takes most of the week.  Today was a bit cloudy and cold, but, it’s November.  I think there are a few people in his office that read my blog so I thought I would let you know what Larry Fillmer looks like when he is not in a suit and tie on campus.

I would love to hear from those who know Larry but don’t normally comment on my blog.  Can I have a caption for the photo above??

Meeting William for the First Time and Visiting the Farm

This past weekend Deborah took a trip to Alabama to meet her new grandson. He is perfect in every way, of course. After arriving in Atlanta on Friday afternoon, she made the drive to Montgomery, AL in time to have dinner with William and his parents. Here he is in his new hats she made for him.

The weekend was extremely busy and included a trip to the Marchio/Fillmer farm so they could meet him as well. The visit was wonderful, until Deborah was leaving and she accidentally backed over the Marchio’s dog Tanya. Miraculously Tanya was unhurt and the children learned a valuable lesson about being around cars that are potentially moving.

The Beginning of the Fillmer / Marchio Family Blog

Hello and welcome to the Fillmer / Marchio family blog.

This weekend was an eventful one full of activity. Chris, Gabriel and Jacob went to North Carolina to visit Scott and Deborah at the RV park where they were staying. Everyone had such a great time and there was never a pause in the action until bedtime. Scott and Deborah set up the tent and got the campfire ready to light.

The Marchios arrived on Friday evening and were greeted with hotdogs for dinner and smores by the campfire for dessert.

Saturday was a full day of boating. Everyone went out on the sailboat “Jackpot” for a couple of hours of sailing.

Then it was back to the campground for lunch and out on the river with the Sea Doo for the guys. Deborah stayed at home and enjoyed some quiet sewing time.

See ya later

Fishing was the next activity of the day. Jacob brought the worms and Scott helped the boys bait their hooks.

Gabriel caught a fish!

Whoa! That is what Gabriel said when he lit the campfire for the evening.

Sunday morning came all too soon and after breakfast the guys were off in a flash to see the lighthouses on the Outer Banks. First stop: Bodie Lighthouse on Pea Island.


Wow that is tall!


Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge

Lighthouses are nice, but the boys really just wanted to play in the waves, so it was off to the beach they went.

Look at the hole Gabriel dug.

Where is Jacob? He is way down the beach looking for shells. Can you see him? This is a little like where’s Waldo.

All that fun in the sun and still more exciting things to see. Cape Hatteras lighthouse was the final destination before heading home.

After so much excitement in one weekend a fella can get a little wiped out. Gabriel is sharing sleeping quarters with the Blaze.

Everyone had such a wonderful time. No one wanted it to end. So, the Marchio’s took the Sea Doo back to Alabama where it will reside for the remainder of the summer and the Marchio’s can take it to the lake.

Meanwhile, Scott and Deborah are on there way to spend a few months in Tool, Texas with Deborah’s family.
