Let Me Sleep!

"You can't find me...."

Abby's new thing is to cuddle with this orange pillow (and chew on it- not bite it really, but enough to slobber it up)

"Here I am..innocent I promise"

"Just let me go back to sleep..."

The other day Abby came into the living room seeming very proud of what she brought me... the orange pillow in her mouth all goobered up!!!! I was very upset, she knew it right away. Smart girl walked right into her kennel without being told :)

Summer So Far

I must say I thoroughly enjoy being a teacher with the summer off. Last summer I taught summer school but a break was much needed.
The first week of summer I participated in a 5 Day Autism Training. It was a great training and I learned so many good ideas that I actually can't wait to get back in my classroom and implement!

One day last week we took a few friends to see AJ's grandparents at Lake Delhi. That was when it was in the upper 90s so boating felt amazing!

We decided it was time again to shave Roy- this time not quite as short. He gets very hot in the summer. He was a good boy and waited very patiently!!

Sturgis Falls was a fun but busy weekend. It was our 5 year reunion so that meant our good friend Ben who lives in Texas was going to be in town. We picked him up Saturday morning at the CR airport and took him back Sunday evening. And we had our first open house that day!!

These are good friends that go back from elementary: Annie and Lyssa!!

And here is Ben!

Ok last thing! We had a birthday party grill out last night for my birthday, Abby's #1 birthday, and Aj's parents dog Charlie's #4 birthday!! We also have had my brother's dog over so it was a little bit of a zoo :)
