New friends

Puppy and kitty get along just fine.

Hot dog day!

Sam uses this baby pool for a giant water dish and to cool off when its too hot. We have had some record breaking heat and drought this year and are now at approx -20" of rainfall. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2007-06-15-southern-drought2_N.htm

"Most adorable pup ever!"

That's what Beth told me when she called me from work one day. "I have a surprise for you when you get home." So be prepared." UHHH.... was the only thing I could think of. She couldn't pass up this pup that was rescued from being mistreated. I am still in shock that we now have yet another adopted pet. She is so sweet and fluffy. We call her Maggy for short. Her full name is Magnolia.

Chicago

Visited Chicago and took these photos from the Sears tower and the chrome sculpture at Millennium Park.

Baby Bat

Phillip found a baby bat when we returned home from Applebees.

Fathers Day fun

The kids took me to Applebees for Fathers day.

Kitten

Well we have new addition to our pet population. I still don't know what to name her but I think the girls want to call her:

Cassiopeia (IPA: /ˌkasiˈəʊpiə, ˌkasiə(ʊ)ˈpɪə/) a northern constellation which Greek mythology considered to represent a vain queen who boasted about her unrivaled beauty. It is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy.

The boys want to name her Puppet from the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. I think that name fits better.
