Summer Days...and puppy dreams

Cousin Meghan got a new lab puppy, and my kids adore him. We all went with Megs to pick Harley out, and although Jake's favorite was a little black female, Meg fell in love with none other than the biggest of the litter! Harley is a very special puppy, and the kids have lots of fun with him, and can not wait till we can get one of our own when we get our own place...but Mom is not too sure about that! Some of the best moments in life are like this summer day, all relaxed and scruffy...

A new way to stay connected..

Ok...so this blog thing seems like a good way to keep family and friends updated on the comings and goings of our little family since life often keeps us too busy to get in touch as often as we would like. So here goes... Well it is summer right now and the kids and have really been enjoying it. I asked jessica what the best thing about summer is and she said "other than swimming..not having to get up in the morning!" Jake says.." that I get to swim..diving into the pool off a diving board"..and well my favorite thing THIS summer is finishing my pre-reqs for the nursing program...Yahoo!! Jake just finished his first year of T-ball, and did great. And Jessica is just enjoying summer in her ever so nonchalant way. ...so there is a little update..., we love you all and hope everyone is doing great...
