Bruno Breaks Out

Bruno took his first walk on the sidewalk on Saturday. He is going to be quite the walker if he would just bend his knees. We will have to wait to see if he swings his arms, though.

Can you believe it, Michael is forty!

Dawn planned a wonderful surprise for Michael's fortieth birthday March 8th. We all attended a private showing of "Star Wars" Part II at the Penn Theater in Butler. Many came in appropriate costumes and pop corn,candy and drinks were provided. After the movie we retired to Beechwood Blvd for pizza and birthday cake. A good time was had by all! Happy Birthday Mike and many more.

New pets...

Lauren unfortunately lost her Patch, her guinea pig, just before Christmas. She had a long and happy life with Lauren. We have recently adopted two new guinea pigs, Schenley and Parker from a local rescue group. They are truely sweet animals.

Florida Trip

We had a great trip to The Sunshine State! Most of the month of February was spent in Florida with high 70's and low 80's. The trip down featured stops at Fredricksburg,VA then Charleston,SC and finally Daytona Beach. We visited with Koehlers for a few days a Del ray Beach then off to Singer Island and Ocean Pointe for the week of 5 to 12 Feb. Vicky,Nick and the girls joined us for 12 to 18 Feb. at Ocean Pointe. The weather was very warm while they were there. It was so nice having them join us, sharing the warm weather and the flora and fauna of Florida. We headed back North on Thursday, Feb. 19th and arrive home safe and fairly sound on Friday night about 10 pm. Driving in just two days is a bit of a record for us.
