In Memory...

Max

3/17/1998 - 8/27/2008

On Wednesday, August 27th, our beloved cat, Max died. Wayne and I got Max as a six week old kitten just a couple of months after we got married. Max was a sweet cat who brought us much love and laughter in his 10 years. He was an important member of our family and we miss him terribly.

Happy Birthday, Spencer!

It took us a while to post this because we actually lost the camera! We have been doing home improvements including updating our kitchen floor and somehow the camera ended up in a bucket with nails and such. At least we finally found it.

Spencer had a great third birthday, which essentially lasted for days because his birthday was on a Wednesday. He had a small birthday party at school and then dinner and a birthday sundae at Red Robin. We let him open presents from different people each day until Saturday when he had a birthday party at home with Mom, Dad, Aunt Vickie, Grandma, and Aunt Sarah. You can see more photos of his birthday celebration on the Picasa web album.

It has been a very long time since we have posted on here, but we do try to update our photo album more regularly. We went to Kansas City for a family reunion this past weekend. We put those photos and a few more in the photo album.

Also, here is a super-cute video of Spencer from the webcam. We recorded it last night. Then Spencer watched it over and over and cracked himself up.

Spencer and Daddy enjoyed the first "real" snow that Spencer can remember. Check out a few of the photos on the album. We got 7 1/2 inches of snow! That's the most we've had in a decade.

Our neighbor and his son made a really neat snowman, and then Luke (the 2 1/2 year-old) proceeded to knock it down within a couple of hours after making it! They had a great time running around in the snow together.

Spencer also had a very good Christmas and got many cars, trucks and books that he really loves.
