Summer Fun

The kids went with Grammy Linda and Papa Gary on a RV trip along the Columbia River.  The weather was amazing and the kids had a blast playing in the river watching the boats go by.  Andy and I met them for the day and had a great time playing. 

Max found the nectarines.  We looked over and here he was just eating one on his own. 

 Here are a few photos of Max at daycare.  Keep busy all day every day. 

During Summer Camp at SW Community Center, the girls were in a play.  Emily was a brown dog and Ellery was black and white cow. 

RIP Chloe Elizabeth Singer - JULY 18th

Today we lost our loving fur baby Chloe.  She lived a good life, but she was in pain and it wasn't fair to keep her here just because we weren't ready to say goodbye.  We knew Chloe was slowing down and not as agile as she used to be, but we didn't think she was in pain.  However, one day we noticed she had a red open wound on her leg and was not moving around very much.  When we took her to the vet they determined she had cancer and it very likely had spread through her body.  They started doing further testing and with each additional test the news was more and more upsetting because it was not curable and affecting a different part of her body.  We were devastated to put her to sleep but we knew it had to be done.  Thank you Chloe for being such a sweet dog.  You were a gentle soul and loved by everyone.  You were the best big dog sister Emily, Ellery, and Max could ask for.

Seaside 4th of July

One of our favorite traditions is to spend the 4th of July in Seaside.  The weather was amazingly warm and we had a fantastic time playing outside on the sand and enjoying the "Candy Parade" as the girls call it.
