He is so proud of his new backpack! |

Michael starts the 7th grade today. |

He is wondering what the day will bring... |

This is our traditional "1st day photo by the front
door." |
We have a new Bearded Dragon... |

This was our beloved Yoshi - who passed away in
July. |

This is Yoku - our replacement. |

We are keeping Yoku and Yoda separated until Yoku gets
bigger. |

Yoda taking charge! |

"helloooo" |

This is my log.. and I catch crickets here... |

Hey... are you looking at ME? |

You are no one until you've been ignored by the YODA. |

Coming soon... Cedar Creek
Lake House |

Back of the house faces the lake |

The house is small, charming, and very cozy |

View from the porch. The yard is incredible! and

Our new kitty - KIMBA |

Kimba with his beautiful blue eyes. |

Kimba gets along very well with Snickers and Tripod. |

Tripod looking at Kimba's photo shoot. |

Kimba is part grey tabby and part Siamese. He is
very talkative and EXTREMELY friendly! |

He makes himself right at home on our bed. |

Kimba has the sweetest face! |

Snickers taking it all in... |

"Kimba, well... he's still alive only because he still
has his claws!" |
Our remodeled foyer |

This wall now covers what used to be a large opening into
the Formal Living Room (which is now Cathy's office). |

NEW photo of the foyer from above. |

OLD photo of foyer from above - you can see the entrance
to the Formal Living Room on the right. Also you can see the old
chandelier. |

New chandelier in the foyer. All other light
fixtures match (upper hallway, power room, and dinning room chandelier
are from the same suite of lamps). |
Our Bearded Dragons |

Yoda in the back,
Yoshi in the front. Yoda is hugging Yoshi on their first day together
- or do you think he is trying to push him off the edge...??? |

Peek-a-boo!I'm on the prowl
for some yummy crickets. They can't see me in my lookout tree trunk. |

Well, I thought I'd just push some sand around in here
and maybe rearrange some trees... |

Oooo, ooo, teacher?... ah... over here... hey you,
teacher... can i please go to the bathroom...? |

Lurking... |

... and then there was light... |

This is Yoda going right. |

and Yoda going left... |

Hard to see, but Yoshi is waving to you - he is on the
right. |

Yoshi climbing the tree to get a better veiw of the
crickets. |

You are NOBODY until you've been ignored by a Bearded
Dragon... |

Yoda last November hanging on to his food dish. |
