After all of the hoopla this weekend Mary’s actual birthday was yesterday we now have a three year old. Jim and I spent some time talking to her last night before bed about the night she was born. We also showed her the pictures she was a little disturbed about see the picture of her being pulled out by the foot during my c-section and being covered in blood. Jim did his best to explain that one away.
We also lost a member of our family our Bucky died of kidney failure yesterday. He was 13, he had a long happy life. I am still sad but I have known for a long time we might have to make the decision to put him down if his back got any worse and with winter coming I knew we were getting close. I am relieved God made the decision for us. I regret he was alone at the vet (we never seem to be there to say goodbye when our dogs die) but as usual I thought he would pull through and the vet was where he needed to go yesterday a.m. Jim is staying home this week and when it dries out at the land we will bury him next to Mitzi. We tried to explain it to Mary and Hopey I am not sure one understood it any better than the other.
Courtney has a test in business law Wednesday night, please pray that she can focus on it and not the craziness that seems to surround our life.

I think I could have explained Bucky not being with us anymore, but explaining a C-section to a three year old is way beyond my capabilities. Iknow it was hard to lose a family member, he was a good old dog. Thanks for everything this week-end. PARTY !!!
We lost China when she was 12..Roger and I got her right after we got married so we had her the kids entire lives so it was hard for them.
I think I would have avoided the C-section picture also. I haven't even seen it and I am older than 3! lol
