This entry is all about Alena, our second born. She is a real tomboy and loves animals and being outdoors.
She is also great at AWANA and won the Sparkie of the Year award along with her friend Houston.
She has been taking guitar lessons for a little while now. Here she is with her teacher.
I can't tell if she's surprised or hungry in this photo. Maybe both. Poor crayfish.
Here she is having a blast with her cousins that she finally got to meet.
We got a cute Bolognese puppy last year. The Bolognese are a rare Italian breed, non-shedding, hypoallergenic and no common genetic health defects. We named her Marsha because we intend to get a male as well and name him Mellow. (Wonder how many of you will figure out the pun there.)
We intend to not only enjoy them, but to breed them and maybe make a little supplemental money on the side. We started a website for this side business www.beautifulbolognese.com. Please check it out and add a link to it if you manage any websites out there. (number of links improves search engine ratings)
Here is our Hannah. It's hard to find a more tender-hearted girl.
Hannah is already a pro in the kitchen. Here she's making some teddy bear cookies to give to her AWANA teacher. How did you get icing on your face, Hannah?
Playing dress-up with brothers and sisters.
Hannah was selected (along with these other two fellows) to represent our church at AWANA quizzing challenge. It is set up kind of like a game show with teams competing to answer questions and give scripture quotes. Most of these kids have way more scripture memorized than I do!
Most people pose their children next to flowers to make the children look better. We pose Hannah next to them to make the flowers look better. :)
