July Memories

Well, this month has been full of life and loved ones. We are now sitting here watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the dogs are sitting here watching us. Interestingly enough, I don't think we've seen this one. Ray and his mom go on a cruise. I told Ken he is more than welcome to take his mom on a cruise, but I don't think he's up to it.
We are taking in boarders this week. Our first guest arrived this evening. The next two arrive tomorrow. Terri and Davey are going to Massanutten, so we're watching the pets. Dave and Deb are going too, so we're going out to their house to walk their pups.
Ben & Jerry just came in. I have to go...

July 2008

I'm sitting here with mom in the sun room, but there is no sun. The rain is pouring down in buckets! We have really enjoyed having mom and Marty here for a visit this summer. They've had a nice on going visit with Katie and Danny along with Joey who is here for a 2-3 week visit. Come the 2nd week of July they will all be gone, and we will be very lonely.
Lukas has totally stolen our hearts! It's going to really be hard to see him go. I don't want to talk about that. We may not be going anywhere this summer, besides Massanutten. (...the rain stopped) Cost of gas has really set us for a loop.
Well, it's back to the tasks at hand.

Family Fun

We had to say goodbye to Cassie as she left this morning for home. It was great to see her! Just so hard to see her go.
It was nice to take off a couple of days from work also! School's almost over. Exams begin tomorrow. It's been a long year due to our unfortunate lack of bad weather.
We will have to be saying goodbye to Katie soon also. Not looking forward to that, but I know they'll be happy to join Danny's family in Kentucky. Lukas will continue to be spoiled just by a different set of grandparents! Next time we see him he'll be crawling! They grow so fast.

Baby Lukas is here!

This has been a very exciting week whereas baby Lukas decided to be born in February instead of March. He is so adorable and we are so in love with him already.

Here we are in 2008! I haven't been very faithful in keeping up with this blog, but thought I might give it another go.
We had a very nice holiday season. Mom and Marty came for a two week stay. This was Marty's first time flying commercial which was a big undertaking for him. All went well except the steps were too much for mom. Even with a wheel chair assist on the way home they still had to climb the steps up to the plane. Might be their last commercial flight. This will probably be their last Christmas trip also. Right now they are planning on hybernating from Thanksgiving-Easter. We'll see.
We hope to drive out to Kansas a couple of times this year, maybe even another trip to Wisconsin. Our first grandbaby is due in March, so we will see how the travel plans go.
Working on another baby blanket. Keeping my knitting muscles limber. We go back to work tomorrow, so being as lazy as possible today!
Happy New Year!!
