The Graduate

Last week, Slider graduated from Beginner Dog School. We didn't order his school photo, just his class photo.


Slider, annoying small dog, Sikx, the sweetest lovingest pitbull ever.




Instructor, Philip, who states Slider's ready for Intermediate classes... :)

Winter Weddings

We attended a wedding on the one year anniversary of our wedding. Drew and Jeanette had a wonderful Catholic wedding at the NAS Chapel.












In my return route from Germany, I landed in Cleveland, OH, for my cousin, Jessica's, wedding! I had a great time with my mom, aunts, and cousins. I even saw snow!


SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Jessica, Alexis, Ellen and I = Cousins!



Aunt Julie, Mommy, and Aunt Debbie

My trip to Germany

Nathan receiving is Reading Certificate.



Outside Nurenberg.

For Scott's birthday we took the train to Nurenberg to make a "pub crawl" trough the two Irish bars in town. It was a great time! (Don't worry, Diane, i didn't post the picture of you and Scott asleep on the train on the way home!)



Scott and his beer.




Diane and I with ours.



We found purchasing a pitcher was more economical.


We spent hours working in the basement and on photos from the previous Ball. Scott and I watched movies while Diane worked after dinner. I helped the kids with math homework -which means they might be worse off. I loved spending time with my family overseas!
