In an attempt to "simplify" life, we recently gave our gold fish to the pet store, gave one of our dogs away to a friend and when our remaining dog leaves for doggy heaven (shes 16 years old), NO MORE PETS!

Also, the boys and I have been planning an extended vacation. Perhaps a long term lease somewhere with loads of sunshine and ocean. Not sure exactly the plan since we still have a couple of really important things up in the air. Most importantly, we hope to travel soon for the adoption of k and k and then more recently, Zack's decision to attend a 5 month program in DTS (discipleship training school) with YWAM in Ethiopia.

Still miss our Dennis every minute of every day. In everything we do as a family, the void created by his absence, screams heartache. So busy I stay, trying to fill our days with things that quell the sadness and hurry the days
