Teddy Roosevelt NP!

Hey, all. I hope you're doing well... I put pics from our camping trip up on our blog. Please look. We're enjoying our visit with various family members, and I wish we could see all of you!

Our trip to Hawaii

Hi! We just got back from Hawaii... and I just put a whole bunch of pictures up on our blog! Please have a look.

We just visited Teddy Roosevelt National Park, and some pictures from that trip will be up soon too. Right now, however, I'm a little tired of posting, given the length of the Hawaii post... so it may be a couple of days. Yay for buffalo! They walked right through our campsite repeatedly. This should come as no surprise to any of you.

We're in the middle of a road trip. Right now we're in Grand Forks, and on Thursday we'll be in Aberdeen, then on to Fort Dodge on Saturday... and then to Yellowstone on the way home!

We survived the semester... and when we get back, we'll be language TA's for the summer! Keith will be doing Greek, and I will be doing Hebrew. I'm taking a couple of classes too. Keith will be reading for his comprehensive exams.

I hope everyone's doing well!

Love, Celia (and Keith)

Cocoa one week later

Cocoa loves her big back yard.

Cocoa couldn't get up the first step a week ago, now she can run up them really fast.

Cocoa is doing more and more things all the time. She got a little wet trying to figure out what the spinkler was.

We have had Cocoa a little more than a week now and boy is she fun. She is also a lot of work. She likes to bite things (not hard, but she is breaking in those little teeth). She loves to cuddle and be rocked on the glider bench on the deck. She has also learned that when Christie growls at her it does not mean that she is going to go after her. Christie is not quite ready to let Cocoa share her domain yet. She just tollerates her if Cocoa keeps her distance. Cocoa knows where to go when she need to go out side to go potty too. Smart doggie!!! She will go to the patio door and wimper and then she will pull on the drape if we do not come right away.

This is Cocoa

This is Cocoa, our new puppy. She is 6 weeks old and just a little sweetheart.

She is a Bit Bull Terrier. I know they kind of have a bad reputation, but with all the love and attention she will get from us she will break that old myth. In four weeks she will start puppy school.

Today she just started drinking from a dish, we were bottle feeding her for the last two days.

We got her on Thursday. We decided to celebrate her birthday on April 1st...it is just an easy day to remember. I'll post more pictures later.

Bella- the new addition to the family!

Bella and her new human momma!

Just look at that cute little face!

Bella's kitty mommy - Ashes - taking a break from feeding!

Yes, call me CRAZY, but when my friend Jeanette told me she had two cats having kittens, I just couldn't resist taking one home with me. Bella is my new addtion. She is named after Grizzabella, the cat that sings the song Memory in the musical "CATS".

So, thought I would share the good news.

Have a great day everyone!

Love Ya All!

Kris

HAPPY MAY DAY

Love Michael
