Kat posted this song on YouTube in 2008. For some reason, I missed it until now, but I do remember hearing her work this out on the piano. It is a great song! If you enjoy it, please let her know by posting a comment on YouTube!

I want to share something by Kat, one of Noah’s big sisters, that is very, very good. She posted this a few days ago, and I would like everyone to see it. Let her know what you think of it, please!

Life moves forward, and changes are coming. Unfortunately, I have no time to share at the moment. There will be more soon! In the meantime, I thought I would share a few recent pictures.

We have been dog sitting for a little over three weeks now. That does not mean that it has been the same dog the whole time. No. There have been three dogs on the list so far, and we are adding a fourth one tonight. Also, we have not been watching all of these dogs at the same time either.

First, there were the neighbors girls. They stayed at home, and we took turns visiting them three or more times a day. Generally, they are well behaved, and they survived Kels giving them almost four full boxes of treats in less than five days. There’s just something about giving a dog a treat and watching it get extremely excited about receiving the tasty morsel.

Next, we have Benzie. She has stayed with us several times, and Marj really likes having her around. She is a good dog, and pretty easy to entertain. She does like to pick up anything she can off of the floor, which can be unfortunate for Noah as most of his toys live on the floor. There is not an hour that goes by that you don’t hear someone say, “Drop it Benzie!”

Our cats don’t care for Benzie too much. They have gone as far as to retreat to the second floor of the house; refusing to venture out unless we carry them to their food dishes and litter box while Benzie is outside. We’ve missed a few times, and Peaches has left us a few surprises. Kat got the worst of it, unfortunately.

Now, we add Bentley to the mix. Marj took Benzie down to Bentley’s house for a visit, and they got along famously. So, we will continue to take Benzie down while we are caring for Bentley. We’ll see how it goes on my first visit tomorrow morning.

The weekend has passed. Marj worked all day yesterday while I did some miscellaneous work around the house. G-Pa drafted me to do some painting, but that didn’t happen. He had done all that he planned to do by the time I finished with my scheduled engagements.

Katie had a birthday party to attend, so she was gone for the better part of the afternoon. I was with Kelsie and her friend Teresa at a carnival. Walking around a packed school with two 5-year-olds was not too difficult. They had fun doing a ring toss, getting their hair colored orange and having their nails painted. By the end of the day, however, they were both bears. Why do they do this? They are so cute otherwise.

Today, our church voted Jon in as a Trustee! This is a wonderful testimony for his walk with our Lord! Jon has changed a lot from the long-haired rock and roller that he once was.

For the first time in what seems like forever, I’m going to bed early. There are projects that I could be working on, but they can wait until tomorrow.
