Summer's Almost Over

Well, summer's almost over. It's already Labor Day weekend. We had so much fun this summer. I know it's been a while since I wrote. I'm sorry, but August was a little crazy.

Dad spent a week in Albuquerque for work. He said it was nice. He brought presents home for everyone, including me. :) Mom and Rhi got some sterling silver and turquoise jewelry. Aidan got a box to keep his special things in. Joey got a plaque for his wall. I got a bandanna.

While Dad was in Albuquerque, he saw two friends that he works with, Charlotte and Gary. They went out to dinner and Dad took this picture of them. Gary and Charlotte both work for Dad. Charlotte works in Virginia and Gary in New Jersey.

Mom, Rhi, Aidan and Joey went to the zoo with Rhi's friend Molly and her mom, Cindy. Here's a picture of Rhi and Molly.

Nano and Papa got a new puppy. Her name is Lily and she's mostly fur. She's pretty, but with all that fur, it's hard to believe there's a dog inside there. She looks like a hairball to me, but everybody seems to love her. School started last week. Joey is in first grade and he has a new helper named Arlene. His helper from last year, Mr. Kasper, passed away from bone cancer while they were away on vacation.

Mr. Kasper was a very special friend to Joey and we are all going to miss him allot.

Aidan is in the Labor Day parade today with his Soo Bahk Do school. He just tested for his next belt. He did really well and should move up a rank once the test scores are posted. Keep your fingers crossed. I'll put up some pictures from the parade in my next post. Have a nice Labor Day and I'll write again soon.
