New Editions to the Family
















































Here are the two newest members of our
family...Rusty and Rufus. We rescued them
from the local shelter in November. The kids
were begging for a pet but we weren't sure
they were ready for the responsibility that
owning a pet brings. So...we decided to start
out small with an animal that takes pretty
good care of itself. The kids are loving it!
Jantzen absolutely adores the kitties. He
talks to them like they are people and
carries them in the football hold all
throughout the house.





















Abby learned to ride a bike this past
month. It only took a few minutes and
she took off on her own. She is feeling
really empowered all of a sudden to do
everything by herself. Going to school
has given her a lot of confidence to try
things she normally would shy away from.
