We always look forward to Sam's leave when he can come home and spend time with Family. Now that he's 21, Jimmy and him enjoyed a brewski together. Pictured below is Matt. We had dinner with Matt and Deb last week. We gotta enjoy the time with Sam while we have it. He also said that he believes that he will get some time off over Christmas and will be able to spend it at home!
Meet Bea! This is my friend Laurie's new dog! She is a westie/Poodle mix. She is a lover and a cuddler. We are watching her this week. She arrived on Sunday night and her and Rosie are famous friends. The first night was a little rough. This little buddy didn't want to be isolated from the humans. She yapped her way into our bed. Sleep is overrated right? Last night was much better. We came home from work, you could tell that she had been running around playing and she was pooped! James plan worked- put the dogs outside, and get upstairs before she realizes you're gone. She may have cried for a moment but she was too tired to bark for us. Well rested humans and canines woke up bright and shiney on Tuesday. Since Bea is a lap dog, Rosie now tries to be a lap dog. There is about a 40 pound difference between these to though. 
We are so proud of April for graduating from Nursing school. We went to her graduation last night and really enjoyed the ceremony. Each graduate got to pre-record a message that was played while they were pinned. Enjoy the pics- First pic from Top: Grannaran, April and Jimmy, next pic, grannaran and April, mel, grannaran, april and Jimmy, Michelle, Jimmy and Mollie
