Forever Family

Today was National Adoption Day and Shae and Sean officially adopted Macey and Alyssea. It was going to be extremely difficult for me to attend due to work and other appointments, so Lacey got to go in my place this time. Macey (who chose her name because she loves Lacey) was very excited about this day. She is old enough to know how important it is to have a 'forever family' and was very excited about the event. The day was extra-special because Macey wrote and sang her very own song for the occasion. She was even "published" on the back of the program. As you will see, she is very comfortable with a microphone and unphased by a roomful of about 100 people. Here is her song and performance......

Kobe the Kubota

We have a new "vehicle" in our garage. As is tradition with Lacey and I he needed a name. Lacey named him Kobe. Erik mowed the lawn with him and he did a really good job in half of the time that the old tractor took.

For those of you unaware of Jason Aldean, his most famous song is Big Green Tractor. So, I'll share one chorus that we have modified to fit Kobe.

I can take you for a ride on my big orange tractor
We can go slow, or we can go faster
Down through the woods, and out to the pasture
'Long as I'm with you it really don't matter.

I'm sure he has found a happy home. = )

Meet Charley

Meet Charley -- the adorable Havanese/Dorkie (that would be Dachsund and Yorkie). Unfortunately, he is not ours, he belongs to my Mom. The kids had not met him yet, so we went to Mom's for a puppy fix. He was happy to oblige.

Kisses.

Now, he's tired, but still wanting to know what is going on.
