A year with Shumai...

Shumai had her 1st birthday on August 18th! What an up and down year it was. We loved her the best we knew how, but in the end we decided she just wasn't the dog for us! Between her tummy troubles and cat-like personality, we sent her to be with her new "forever family". I included a picture of her in her new home with her new best friend "Hank the Tank"! She will really be missed, but we plan on trying again with a different puppy in the spring!

We love the pool!

And the hot tub! Back and forth between the hot tub and the pool all day long!




Matthew became the big swimmer this summer, like a little fish! The pirate ship saw a lot of action too!

Summer Fun!

The kids were on a roll this summer with the "string game"! Introduced to it by the Cordova's, the object is to take rolls of yarn and tie up the entire yard! Hours of entertainment, thanks Cordova's!
