Goodbye to our Furry Friend

Although 2009 has been filled with friends and family having babies, we have not been so lucky in the pet department. This morning we said goodbye to our dog Buddy. He was diagnosed with Cancer about a year ago and unfortunately, just couldn't fight it any longer.







We always referred to him as "the good one". Between him and Daisy, he was the one that didn't bark, didn't shed, always listened. He was just a really good dog. And we will miss having him around everyday.

Rest in peace, Bud.

She's Here!!!

The happy family:

Congratulations Eric and Katie!!

And we wait ....

Today Eric and Katie will welcome their new baby into the world. I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting for the call.

4th of July Carnival

We went down to the local Carnival to ride a few rides and take in the sights with Rich, Holly and Zachary. The kids had a great time riding the rides and eating ice cream.











Greg hung out our flag this weekend and Natalie wanted to hang her flag on our deck too. I thought the two flags looked really cute together.



More pictures can be found on Holly's blog.

Final Vacation Pics

These are the last of the pictures. We had a great time.






If you look really hard, and read from right to left, you can see that Natalie wrote her name in the sand:

Here are some more pictures from our trip. We've just been alternating between the beach and the pool.















With a few naps in between.

Beach Day 1

We arrived in NC yesterday with no problems at all. Natalie did great on the plane and was even awarded the "Junior TSA Officer". We had a picnic dinner at the beach and Natalie played and dug in the sand until she literally collapsed on the blanket. Stay tuned for more pictures from this weekend.
