Mike is gone on his annual training. Peter and Bridget are in Washington state visiting his family for the cherry harvest. I am taking care of a couple little kids...no, the other eight are children ;O)

Hi Ya'll!!!

This is poor Harvey trying to guard his balloon during the balloon war...he would not let go of it the entire time. Later, he threw it at one of our unruly puppies to our amazement and his great delight...wish I had gotten a picture of the look of pleasure on his face when the puppy got wet.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have updated our blog with many more pictures than you see on the front page. You'll have to look back to see them all. Enjoy!

Ralph's Birthday Balloon Toss

Best Buddies!

While we were in northwestern Arkansas, we visited my cousin, Susan, in Gentry. She introduced us to one of her many beautiful horses.

Fun date!

Michael had to go to an officer convention this month. Peter and Bridget agreed to take care of our children so I could go with him. It was fun to get away, but I almost didn't know what to do with the silence. This was a view from our room inside the hotel.

Girl fun!
