Olivia's Birthday Party

We had a little party for the Birthday Girl. Wish you two, Kayla and Luke, could have been here to celebrate with us.

Kids, I think you will really enjoy this link. Very interactive.

HELP - Dog in the House!

This cute little Sheltie belongs to our friends who moved from Canada. Very smart dog and trained well also. Say "foot" and she extends her left paw to shake: say "paw" and the right one shakes your hand. And many other tricks. Very sweet dog. Of course, we had to put the cats away - that wouldn't have been good if they were out!

Pictures

Jordan, Olivia, Kayla and Luke, have your Mommy and Daddy send me the picture of your choice and I'll put it on opening page of my blog. We can change it every few months if you want. J and O, I got a big load of firewood today. I wish your Daddy was here to help me split it. I'll get it done, though, put away in the Playhouse, and then we'll have roaring fires while you're here.

Love all of you - Papa

The Grandkids New Playhouse

I had this built just for the 4 of you. While it's not in use by the 4 of you, I thought I'd use it to keep firewood dry and out of the snow. Thanks to Luke, Kayla, Olivia, and Jordan for letting me borrow it this winter. Notice how much snow is on the roof - about 8 inches and it's still snowing as I write this. Jordan and Olivia, you'd better hurry and get out here or we'll be completly buried in snow and you won't be able to find our house. That reminds me: maybe Santa won't be able to find our house either and know that a couple of sweet girls (well, OK, 3 sweet girls) are coming right after Christmas.
As for KK +K+L, not too late to charter a flight and get on out here (Maybe bailout $$$s?). We'll all miss you if you can't pull that off.

With love, Papa and Melissa.
