Rehearsal Dinner

Shawna and Kevin's rehearsal dinner was at the parish hall. As you can see, Rachel and Natalie are quite pregnant and glowing. Dad looked studly in his new leather jacket, shirt and tie.

Visiting Spartanburg, SC

Spent the weekend in SC for Shawna and Kevin's wedding. Arrived Friday afternoon. We got to see Natalie and Michael's new home. They are tripping over boxes in some rooms, but it is going to be lovely when everything finds a place. Later we visited David's gravesite.

Budbee!

Meredith and I took Buddy over to Barktoberfest. Hundreds of dogs from every breed were in the park. Buddy decided that he would protect us so he snapped at every big dog he saw. Needless to say, we didn't stay very long!

Gideon Wedding

Headed down to Austin Oct. 6th for Ashley Gideon's wedding. Ashley was a gorgeous bride! It was great seeing Bobbie, Mike, Ashley and Patrick after many, many years.

Got a Big Lure?

Found these on my camera. We were in Tulas visiting Grandma Rogers and we went to the Aquarium. Found this giant lure and just had to take photos!

Stepping Out

Buddy has discovered that he can get up on the kitchen stool and be nose-to-nose with food on the counter!

The newest member of our family....

Buddy was a CAN Rescue and we adopted him. He is 1 1/2 - 2 years old.... Golden retreiver/Lab....and a sweet pup. He is 68 pounds and his paws are enormous. He was covered with fleas when he was found with no identification. We had him fixed and found out that he has heartworms. Our vet is very optimistic since he is young. We love him and he fits right in. A few habits will have to be stopped such as jumping up on the couches and beds!
