saying goodbye

 
We lost a doggie companion recently.  This old gal had been with us for many, many years and her age really started to show over the last and recently she was giving us that look that told us she was ready to go home. 
 
It's never easy saying goodbye.

pouring lemonade

We all have heard these two expressions....when it rains it pours and when life hands you lemons...!  Well for the past few weeks we have been struggling to keep up with the overflow of lemons while standing in the pouring rain. 

Okay, so life for us isn't that bad.  Events, out of our control and that completely blindsided us, have caused us to look and take a new direction in life.  We have always been given the means to pick up pieces and move on and this latest snafu won't be any different.  We just need some time and money.  That's all :-)

On the bright side... just before the poop hit the fan we bought a boat.  Being at the lake on a boat has always brought a lot of joy to us and since we will soon be a family of five it was time for us to take the plunge and buy one. 

 
It's a very comfortable deck boat with full bimins which was a major plus for us.
 
But....wanna know what's better then having a boat....
A sister who buys one too.  Hee, hee, hee!
 
Wanna know what's better then that?

The pure happiness our kids have when we are at lake. 
The only frown to be found is when it's time to leave.
 
We truly love and enjoy our time at the lakes.  Two weeks ago it was Roosevelt and this past weekend it was Apache. 
 
For us it's a great way to cool off and reconnect as a family again with few to no distractions.
 
Here's a little bump action on the boat too.
 
I promise, one day soon, I'll do a baby update.
