Goodbye to Frodo

Our dear Frodo passed away tonight at the age of 16. Mommy got Frodo when she was 21 years old and he was her companion all the way through this evening. He was there for a marriage, 2 births and another dog! It was difficult to say to goodbye, but we know he is in a better place. He has battled Addison's disease, seizures and most recently Alabama rot, which caused him a steep decline over the last few months. He went peacefully on his own volition and we had a small ceremony in our backyard. Abigail is the more emotional about his passing and Allison is struggling to understand where he is. Ginger has been close by our sides more than normal as she's dealt with Frodo's loss. We will miss him. 

Much Love,

Weekend Snow...

This weekend we had snow!! It was not very much snow, but enough to make a snow angel and have a snowball fight. Later in the afternoon we went to a birthday party for one of Allison's friends. There she got to play and decorate sugar cookies. It was a wonderful weekend.

A New Cousin

Uncle Saul and Aunt Miriam gave birth to a brand new, sweet baby boy, Joseph. His birthday is the same as mommy's! He was born very early and was only 1.35 lbs so he will be in the NICU for a long while. Mom and dad went for a visit to see baby Joseph and he really looks a lot like his daddy. It was also the first time Saul got to touch baby Joseph too, so it was a very emotional visit for them and us. It's clear that Miriam and Saul are going to be fantastic parents and their love for baby Joseph is evident in everything they said and did. 

Much Love,

Happy New Years!

Another year gone and we celebrated at home. The girls even got to stay up to ring in the new year with us. We had sparkling grape juice for them and they were excited celebrate. It has been a wonderful and exciting year. We are looking forward to 2019!

Much Love,

Christmas 2018

Another Christmas has come and gone! It was a much warmer Christmas than last year, which was fortunate since Santa brought the girls toys they could only use outside (hover board and bike). We woke up early, but not too early on Christmas morning for the girls to see what Santa brought them and enjoy a leisurely breakfast with BB. We headed over to uncle Kurt's in the afternoon to see all the family and had a great time. Abigail stayed the night with Sally Kate and we dropped Allison at BB's house. Afterwards, some family came over to our house to celebrate the evening. It was a wonderful Christmas holiday to celebrate with family.

Much Love,

Quick Trip Before Christmas!

This weekend we went down to Texas with our dear friends and their kiddos. We arrived on Saturday and headed out to dinner, followed by a tour of lights at Rangers' ballpark. The kids loved exploring the maze of lights and especially loved the "snow"! On Sunday we headed to the last home game of the season. It's always a quiet game since it's so close to Christmas. This year it was really fun because so many folks brought their kids or grandkids. It was such a fun weekend to spend with friends.

Much Love,

Christmas Party

This week our friend had a Christmas party as a fundraiser for the local children's emergency shelter at her house. It included a visit with Santa, crafts and cookies. The girls had such a fun time and Allison decided that since she saw Santa twice, it means that she'll get twice as many presents!

Much Love,
