Happy New Year 2008, all! I do not have any new pictures to post, but wanted to add an update. Our boys are back in school (Yay!), although they do have a holiday this coming week on Monday. We all had a wonderful Christmas. We visited the Kilbournes in Costa Mesa, and finished the day at Mom and Dad's. It was great to see everyone from both families, and we really missed all the out of state siblings and families.
On one of my first postings on this blog, I told you about Kelso, our new doggy. Well, we had to turn her back into our local (no-kill) shelter. I tried to walk her to the kids' school 
to get the boys, and she completely freaked out at the sight of another dog. She was barking madly and trying to attack the other dog. Needless to say, it was not a good experience (which all the students coming out of school and their parents witnessed). So, we turned her back in, and told them she doesn't seem to tolerate other dogs, although she got along fine with Tigger in our yard. We miss her, but the liability issue was just too great with her. So, we are now back to being a one dog family, with our boxer Tigger, whose behavior has gone back to being exemplary now that she is the only puppy again.

Tim will be flying to Eagan, MN, on Jan 30 and staying till Super Bowl Sunday. I don't know how he will do in the cold weather there, but he only needs to last for four-five days. He hates the cold, so I am sure it will be a struggle for him, but hey, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? We are really looking forward to seeing the Wells family when they arrive next month. The boys are really excited to see their cousins again, especially their buddy Donny. Everybody make sure to send Grandpa Clyde a birthday card, as it is his 95th (I think) birthday on Saturday, January 27, 2008. He would really love to get birthday wishes from all of us, particularly the grandkids he hasn't seen for awhile. Talk to all you soon.

Good call on Grandpa! Thanks for the reminder!
Hi Kate. Sorry about Cujo - good call to bring him back. I posted a picture but no one has noticed! Go to NazFam!
Sorry to hear about Kelso but I totally agree with your decision. For awhile after we got Apple we were worried about her and whether or not she would be okay with other dogs. I couldn't imagine dealing with that fear with a dog 10 times her size. I am sure everything will work out for Kelso though.
We can't wait to see you guys in a couple of weeks!
