Steve was trying to get Devin to go with him on a trip to the dump. After a few encouragements and one outright bribe, Devin said, "Don't worry Dad, I'll spend some time with you when you get back!"

We have kitties!

Here are the two new additions to Rae Lane. "Azzie" and "Deano" (named by Meredith) live on the deck and are quite entertaining. They catch mice, "play" with the mice on the deck so we can see them, and then the mice "disappear". They sleep in a storage container set on it's side with rugs and a heating pad underneath turned on low - burr, it started to snow today!

From youngest to oldest - here they are!

Here are the grandkids - sitting on the beach wall in San Diego 11-17-08. The "wall" provided perfect (nearly) camouflage for the 4 youngest. The beach was so fun that we even cancelled a day at the zoo.

Elders are Here!

We have Elders living in the apt. above the garage. Here are our first two - the one on the right has gone home. The one on the right is Hullinger from GA and the new one is a Smith from AZ. We did a little himing and hawing when the Bishop approached us, but they are a blessing and they are willing to drink green drinks! We really don't interact much (well, not daily). They are doing well and we believe their presence has already blessed us. The commitment is for one year.
