Our little fella

Fifteen years ago Bret and I brought home an adorable little puppy who had been abandoned in a box in a park.  We fell in love with the little guy right away.  Only a few short weeks later he was run over by our neighbor and we had to make the decision about what to do with him.  Of course, we were already deeply attached and decided we would somehow figure out a way to pay for whatever vet bills ensued.  He soon recovered from his injuries and two years later got a "sister" Nika.

We added two "real" children to the mix and became one big happy family. 

Over the years, he limped a little more, went completely deaf, and started sleeping more and more hours each day -- not exactly the watch dog he started off as but still an important part of our family.

Today a tragic accident took him from us and left a little hole in our hearts.  We have always been surprised that he has lived as long as he has especially with everything he has been through, and he was a trooper up until the very end.  In the past year and a half, we have lost three of our dogs and it doesn't get any easier.  He will be missed!

Soccer studs

The soccer season is well underway now.  Adam has played four games in the past three weeks and his team is in first place.  They are doing really well.  He's having a great time!

Briana's team has played two games now.  She is now on an all girls team this year and they play teams from other leagues.  It's quite a change from what she's been doing before.  Bret is coaching them, and although they have lost both of their games, they are definitely making progress and learning to work together.  She looks like a little midget out there, but she gets right in there and goes up against girls much taller and bigger than her.
Thanks to everybody who has come by to cheer them on.  There is plenty more opportunity if you want to make a game! :)
