WE'LL MISS YOU


Sadly, it's official. We have no more pet rabbit. After looking for 3 days with no success, we have come to the conclusion that Freckles is not coming back. It is heart breaking to see the girls go through the loss. I am pretty sure we won't be doing the "pet" thing again any time soon. Thanks for the memories Frecks. You were a most wonderful pet rabbit.

On a lighter note, the 3 older kids started swimming lessons this week at the outdoor pool. Notice that I did NOT register Trentan......They all had a great time and did really well. 9:00 in the morning is a tough time but we got there on time today. We'll see if we can keep it up.

For F.H.E. we went to a place called Kleskun Hills. We were supposed to go with some friends but I didn't get my act together fast enough and they were leaving when we were arriving. SORRY FRIENDS!!! It was so much fun. Nathan had told the kids that fossils had been found there and so they would climb one of the hills and look for "footprints" or any other sign of a dinosaur. Oh man it was hilarious. At the end of it all I think the tally was 9 t-rex footprints, 7 "long neck" foot prints, a "long neck" head/neck/body, and my personal fav., a pterodactyl wing. (Trentman "found" that one) Because it had rained last night, the hills were muddy and we had to strip the kids down to their undies and t-shirts before letting them back in the van. They were filthy! What a fabulous, fun time.

  1. Sorry to hear about Freckles!
    Did you call the SPCA?

    Anyway, it sounds like you had a blast at Kleskun!
    I'm sorry our timing was off!
    We will do it again. Isn't it a fun place?
    Did you see the cacti in bloom?
    Love it. Last week when I was there with school they were NOT blooming!
    We are at Pigeon now.
    Take Care!
