We just got a new family dog. He is a chocolate Labrador Retriever and His name is Hershey.

Little Jenna :)

She has been taking a few steps in the last week or so. She has taken up to 26 steps in one go. So we think she will be walking soon.

Julia just got a new bike. She is very happy with it and is always on it.

Just after supper some times Joseph gets on the floor to be with the girls. Its a lot of fun!

she was making such a cute face

I think Joseph just got home from work. So the girls are waiting for him to come in.

These two photos were taken about 8.30 in the morning. This is the view that we get very often from the kitchen/dining room.

One more photo from Chesley.

Uncle Samuel bought Julia two bags of sand for her sandbox.

Back home in Texas! This is in the back yard.

You can imagine Julia was ready to get out and run!
