Sorry I never got a post out for June. July has come in hot, but I am enjoying every minute. With the memory of the LONG winter still fresh in my mind, I have a new respect for 90 degree days! We had a good fourth of July with David's family. Mark and Emily came with their three kids and Emily is expecting their fourth. Uncle Victor and Aunt Elaine, Stephen and Jeremy also got to spend the holiday with us. They were on their way home from Denver where they had helped Josh and Zusanna move from Virginia. Joanna, Dennis and Addy were also here. We ate Supper at the Bonds. David shot off some fireworks that evening, The kids didn't know exactly what to think. Katherine began to enjoy them after she found out she could hold her ears to muffle the sound. Devon was very wary of them, but didn't didn't fuss about it. At dusk we went to Gothenburg to their fireworks show. We all set up camp in the back yard of the nursing home where David's Grandpa and Grandma are now living. They got to come out and enjoy the show also. It was a good memory, (mosquitoes and all :).
I am doing good in the pregnancy, No sickness at all and not really feeling that tired any more. Hope this keeps up. I am now 8 weeks along. I go to the Dr. Fri so I will have a official date then.
David has found his niche and his hobby in wood working. I really enjoy it too. We have decided that is what we will do in our retirement. Our latest project was a dog house for our two labs. We didn't just make a dog house we made a dog mansion! The thing is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide with a porch on the front. It is so heavy we had to get Bro. Howard's fork lift to move it onto the foundation. We had a blast making it. Our next project is to build a play house for the grand kids for David's folks.
Katherine has finally been potty trained! She has become a very self sufficient young lady. God forbid you help her in any way! She can now dress herself except putting on her shirt. She has really enjoyed our little wadding pool this summer, she is always asking to go swimming. She is brown as an Indian.
Devon is now one year old. His Birthday was on the 11th. We had David's folks over and Lara, Duane and Luke. Luke and Devon have the same birth date. Luke was 10 years old. Devon loved his cake and ice cream. He got a brain freeze eating the ice cream, so he was a little leery of it from then on. He is beginning to let go of furniture and try standing on his own. At least he is beginning to at least think about it.
Lucy our black lab got run over one morning and broke her back leg. so it was another trip to the vet. It is kind of funny to see a dog with a cast on her leg, every time I look at her I see the old dog on Fox and the Hound :).
Till next month... God Bless Ya'll!
