FIELD TRIP/EVENTS 


This week we celebrated our puppy Zeus' 11th birthday, he is a great addition to our family since day one.  He has been a little under the weather this week so we have stayed home this week.  Don't want to go anywhere to far from him, want to make sure he always has someone with him.  We love our puppy and only wish him the very best, pray for him every night, praying God will heal his body and make him like new. Wish he could be with us forever.  Been with our family since he was 6 months old, I was 6 months pregnant with K so they have grown up together.
