Beau has found his voice

Our little dog Beau is a rescue dog and he has some issues from his past that we will never know. Abandonment, fear, etc. And he never makes a sound except to squeak like a tennis shoe on hardwood when he's happy or excited. He runs in circles and squeaks, too funny.

The vet says he is capable of barking, but chooses not to...maybe a shock collar in his past? Who knows. The only time we ever heard a bark, even a single little one was occasionally when he was having a dream.

Last Saturday after one of the occasions when we've left him alone for a short while, he greeted us by jumping up and down on all fours and barking! We were so surprised, we didn't know what to think. It didn't last long, but we were just shocked. After nearly a year, he'd barked!

Yesterday, we left him for a short run to the grocery store, and low and behold, upon our return he did the jumping up and down and barking again! Not only that, but when we took him for his afternoon walk he leaped and bounced along like he was the happiest guy on the planet.

Oh, how we wish he could tell us his story!!

Springtime color in the yard

This is our first spring in the house, and we knew we had lots of rhodys and azaleas in the yard, but had no clue about what color or variety they were. What a pleasant surprise!! Here's just a sample of the beautiful colors we've been experiencing!

Evan's 2nd birthday!

Evan turned two on May 22 and his mom and dad hosted a party and BBQ at their home. It was a beautiful sunny day!

He got loads of gifts, but his favorite, bar none, was from his Grandma Mary...his own swimming pool. He and cousin Ryan wasted no time finding swim trunks and jumping in for a dip!



Blowing out the candles!



Sampling the frosting!



Opening the presents:





He was born while we were still in Mexico, can't believe that was two years ago!!

A day with the kids

Hey, Greg Darane' and the kids came down for the day. We went to garage sales, went and picked up and planted our new mulberry tree and ended the afternoon at the Farmer's Market. They had great music and so we scored a table near the stage and waited for our lunches. Goofiness ensued.



An awesome day overall!

Jo and Bryan...the wedding

A great joy for a great family, pictures from Johanna and Bryan's wedding on May 16:
