Over the river and through the woods...

To Grandmother's house we go. We went to the beach and mini golfing and wading in the mini pool. The kids all seemed to have fun.

I need a dog like a need a hole in the head...

Daren had been bugging me to get another dog for over a year. I finally caved and I don't know what I was thinking. It has caused all kinds of drama. He still isn't potty trained. He is on probation. If he can't behave we will have to find him a new home. We have had him for a couple months now so we will see how the next little while goes. His name is Einstein and he is 6 mon. old.

Fourth Family Fun

We skipped the official fireworks this year. Nothing can compare to Omaha. I think it will all be anticlimactic from here on out. We didn't even do sparklers. I looked everywhere for them and I finally found them at one stand but the line was at least 20 min. long and there were 6 people waiting in the car for me. I guess I should be glad, then Daren can't try to make any sparkler bombs. What party poopers we were. The kids had a very bad day with lots of tears and every one went to be early. There is always next year. Hope you all had a great fourth.

Happy Birthday Jude and Lily

I can't believe it has been a year already. I think the fun has just begun. Jude and Lily keep us on our toes. They are into everything. They eat more than most grown adults. They smile almost all the time. They love life and discovering new things. So far they are sweet to each other and do not fight or show jealousy. We will see how long that lasts. We love them and can't imagine life without them. Happy Birthday my babies.
