Meet Beau!

He's our newly adopted Japanese Chin, who is three years old. He's a sweet little guy, very lovable. He has a few issues, such as lack of depth perception, so he and Ralph get along great because Ralph doesn't have any either!! But he loves to go walking and you must do it at his pace, so no more leisurely after dinner walks for us. Gotta keep up with Beau!!

Summer fun in the lake

We've had an extraordinary run of sunny warm weather this month and the grands came down for a swim in the lake. They had such a blast! They ran and jumped and splashed and then ran and jumped and splashed some more until they were completely worn out.



Savannah started jumping off the dock and decided it was fun!



The lake has a ton of small fish in it and even with all the people splashing and swimming around there were still little fish hanging out near the shore. Greg even found a big snail, which Nick found fascinating.

Baby Ryder arrives early

Kiesha's new little son Ryder gave us all a big surprise, arriving about six weeks early. He needed special care for a few days (breathing assistance, IV, feeding tube) but he's proven to be a tough little guy and was able to go home within a week and both mom and baby are doing fine.

Here's a couple of pics from Grandma Cyndy:

We thank God for Ryder!!
