Robin and Joe.

Greg's family is great at rescuing animals, they have cats, rabbits, and dogs, those are just the rescued ones. Recently 2 of the 4 dogs died. Robin was Greg's dog and had the sweetest disposition. When Greg went to Malaysia she came and 'protected' me :). Linda said she just laid down and looked like she was sleeping. She was a good dog and will be missed.
Joe, the sweet, deaf chow who wandered into their lives, and stayed. He got sick about a month ago and I guess never fully recovered. I loved going to Mike and Linda's and seeing him just laying there in the grass. He was such a mild dog and so pretty. He will be missed too.

The other 2 dogs are Clifford and Hardy. Clifford is a dog Sumer found abandoned at a gas station. Hardy, Mike found also abandoned near a hospital. They are both really good dogs too, Hardy just snores really loud. I thought it was Mike the first time I heard it. :)



P.S. these photos were taken almost 3 years ago by Greg.

So Joe, one of Greg's very best friends from high school, is moving to San Jose with his family and we are so excited to be able to see them more often!
This last weekend we got carpet in our house, it was a big project to move all the furniture and J U N K! (So worth it though, I love how it all looks) So starting Friday I moved and packed up a lot of our stuff, the Saturday Charlie, Eric, Joe and Mike came to help finish up. The carpet guys got here around 11:30 or 12 and started measuring the rooms, by this point the baby and I were so hot, we went to Becka's house to cool off. After we had been there for maybe an hour, Greg called and said the carpet guy's sewing machine broke! (we have hard wood floors and just got area 'rugs' to cover the whole room, so the edges are sewn and not tacked down...) Anyways. so the guy had to come back Sunday and finish :( It was such a PAIN to have our house in such an up-heaval for almost 2 days. Any hoo, the boy's went to the chapel and played Halo in the cultural hall from about 7-1 am. Meanwhile here at home Cherry (Mike's G-friend, not my sis.) and her daughter Evelyn fell asleep watching movies on the bed in the living room. So Sunday the guys came back around 12:30 and we got started. they were done around 3 and Joe helped us move all the stuff back in. It was such a HUGE help to have him here. We are really looking forward to having him, Rachel and the girls so much closer. We already have a couple weekends planned! Joe is the one who reminded me of my promise to have a new blog, I hope you're happy now. I'll do another one with pictures, cause they never turn out right when I have a big blog too...
