Lil' Abby

I have been meaning to put this on our blog...

For those of you that have followed the story of our friends Ryan and Kelly and their 3 little girls I'm happy to report that their surviving triplet Abigail is home and doing well. For those interested in seeing current pictures of her and reading her story go to www.abbygupdate.blogspot.com or click on the link to the right.

Now the yard is really finished

I just noticed that we never posted pictures of the yard completely done with the patio cover, fountain and furniture. We love spending time in our backyard. The patio cover has helped with the horrible California heat we have gotten this summer. The furniture has turned our yard into a second family room. We are still missing the corner cushions on the sectional but we are pleased with how much seating we have. Derek has taken to falling asleep in the backyard now that we have the furniture. We love the sound of the fountain and really couldn't be more pleased with how the whole yard turned out

Rock Creek

We got back last week from our camping trip to Rock Creek in the Sierras. We fished, hiked, played UNO a ton, and basically just had a ton of fun.

Nate caught the first fish of the trip and he was thrilled. Denise didn't see any bears which made her happy. Derek accidently threw our car keys into Rock Creek where they are now lost forever at least until someone fishes them out. In an effort to get into our car Derek got to know the ranger really well and can now tell you anything you want to know about Rock Creek.

Here are a few pictures from the trip. I'm trying to get some downloaded to a photo site with a link to it so I don't have to download a ton of pictures to this blog.
