Grant lost his 1st teeth!

Grant proudly lost his first tooth at Rockaway Beach. He tried for weeks to wiggle it out and finally gave it a big twist! He screamed and ran to find daddy because they had many talks about that tooth. A few days later his second one came out. The new ones are already starting to show! You have to be quick with the camera! What a milestone. His class celebrates missing teeth with a song and a certificate. He will be ready now for first grade next year..... More to follow when those big top ones come out!!!

Boys Rule!!!

All I can say to all those folks with girls out there.... Boys rule when it comes to potty breaks while travelling in the car:):):) Gotta Love it!

More doggie fun...

Here are some pictures from Sadie's first doodle romp. It is a play date for dogs in a secure area in Portland. The dogs are Labradoodles or Goldendoodles. Some are large and some are smaller breeds. It is a fun time to see the dogs interact with each other. Randy has the squirt bottle on hand in case he needs it, but for the most part the dogs loved it. Kelli and Randy organize this fun time and so far over 20 doodles attend! Kelli and Randy rescued Sadie (our pup) and were her foster parents. We ended up adopting her through IDOG.

Let me take a minute and tell you about Kelli and Randy. We are so proud of them. They are Portland school teachers for 1st and 2nd graders. After they married, they completed gradutate school together. They work very hard and are passionate about kids. They love their families and are very close. They have a great doodle dog, Leo and cat, Henry. We love hanging out with them because they are so positive and truly make a difference in lives. Also, they love God and are crazy about each other!

May we learn from each other and live life to the fullest!!!

The New Look

Gary bought some new specs. He tried on several pairs, but he settled on these because after all they have D & G engraved on the side. --- Debbie & Gary!!!
