We miss you Brandy

Hi everyone. It's been quite a while since our last post and a lot has happened.
We had to put our beloved Brandy down in February. I am still having a very hard time with it and miss her terribly. This was just a week after I quit smoking, and yes I am still smoke free....85 days and counting! Anyway, we couldn't take the emptiness Brandy left and adopted Chelsea shortly after. Chelsea is your typical freak puppy, we love her and she's helping with the loss of Brandy.

Katy's doing GREAT. She's smart as a whip and just awesome!

Thanks for checking in,
Dave

Katy's new skirt.

Our Baby....we love and miss her so much.

Chelsea the day we brought her home.

At Last a New Post....Look what we bought!!

A few months ago, D and I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy ourselves a used camper. We have wanted on for quite awhile, but have been waiting for Katy to join our family.

Well we had our first camping trip on Memorial Day weekend. I have to say, we made the right decision with this camper. We had such a great time. We went camping with a big group of our friends, who have owned campers for awhile. They were so helpful with tips and tricks on how to camp successfully. We couldn't have done it without them.

They had alot of activities for the kids, including a fireworks display that Katy loved, puppet shows, swimming pools and playgrounds. She had her first S'more, danced up a storm at the puppet show, and even braved the unheated kiddie pool.

We can't wait for our next camping trip!!!

Dreams Can Come True !!!
With great excitement, we would like to announce our Referral news. We have a daughter.

Guo Yuan Fen, soon to be Katherine Linda was born on September 3, 2006 in the Jiang Xi Province in China.

We don't have all the details yet, but should see her beautiful face either Friday or Monday. It's going to be a long week.

Words cannot express the feelings i have right now. I have been in a fog all day. The funny thing is, i was driving down the highway to visit a client, when the phone rang. I saw that it was Wide Horizons and nearly drove off the road to answer. I pulled off the highway and into some random parking lot get all the information. I was able to make about three calls when my cell phone died. Thank God one of the calls was to my husband.

I pulled myself together, visited my client for about 4 hours, drove home and have been on the phone and internet for the last hour spreading the news.

I will hopefully hold her in my arms in July.

Come back soon to see her debut.

I am off to make some more calls.

Here's the first picture we received a few days later.

Spring Fever!

What a long, cold winter it's been!
Sunday got up to about 60 so outside we went....of course Monday snowed again so it was just a tease.
Thanks to Hannah and Emily for Katy's new (to her) ride.
Legs are still too short but she had fun just the same.

Pictures from Halloween

Katy went as a puppy for Halloween. We had such fun walking around the neighborhood and seeing all the costumes. Katy was a little afraid when she saw a big group, but I think she had fun.
I also included some pictures from a play date at Perpetual Motion. Don't you just love the pigtails.
