Tino's New Friend

One of the students up at the high school recently got a tiny new puppy named Lizzie and he's been bringing her by every morning while he goes to open gym. Rowdy it still trying to figure out whether or not she should eat Lizzie I think, but Tino is really good with her. Even though he dwarfs her in size, he is really gentle with her and they will play and play together.

Sonogram and Belly Pictures

For those of you who are far away, especially Alli and Amy, here is what I looked like last Fri. This is me at almost 28 weeks.
and here are the sonogram pics from the day before...the baby weighs 2.2 pounds and had it's right hand up by it's mouth throughout the whole sonogram. I think it was sucking it's thumb.

Shelby Catherine

Some of you know Mandi and Joe or may have seen their maternity photos earlier in the blog. Well, they had their baby on June 23rd. They, like us, were waiting to find out the sex until it was born and it turned out to be a beautiful baby girl. These pictures were taken about a week after birth at their apartment. Shelby was very cooperative and very adorable. We even got her to open her eyes for a few shots!!

Here are three generations, Shelby, Mandi, and Mandi's mom Mimi. I have known Mimi since the fourth grade and she is a wonderful person - those of you who know her can attest to that. It is very hard to believe she has the title "Grandma" even though this isn't the first grandchild.

One proud papa...
