Talor's New Digs

Hi again,

Yesterday we found a cool set of bunk beds for a great price and were able to pick them up and put them together. Talor was so excited and decided that he wanted to sleep on the top bunk. So...last night was the first time and he has been excited about sleeping ever since. Eventually Layla will be on the bottom bunk, but for now we'll leave it empty (especially since we still need to get another mattress for it). Enjoy the photos and stay in touch when you can.

Aimee and Dougal's Wedding

Hi everyone,

Last night we went to Shell's cousin's wedding. Everyone looked nice and had a good time. Here are some of the pictures of the night. The little girl that Talor was playing with is his cousin Ayla. She looked so cute! There is also a picture of the wedding cake that Shell made. It looked and tasted great and I think a huge weight was lifted off of Shell's shoulders after it had been delivered.

Nothing new really...

Hi everyone,

Nothing new here, but I just thought I would add some new pictures. One of Talor's many girlfriends (below) has moved away to Australia so that has been sad news for him. At least he still has the three girls next door.

Both kids are growing like weeds and doing well. Shell and I are also fine and staying above water with the chaos of me working far away and coaching two nights a week. By the way, my girls softball team is now 3-0 and doing well. Their play is not pretty, but it's effective!

Summer is coming to an end so we are hanging on to the warm weather for as long as we can. Today, Shell and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary by going out to dinner and a movie. It's hard to believe she has kept me around for six years!

Have a good weekend everyone, and stay in touch when you can.
