    RooooOOOOOparoni & meatballs

    I finally figured out how to make a new thread. Of course you can't do it through the main nav bar at the top; you have to go into an actual post inside a topic to get the side nav bar to show up. Makes sense. Tongue Tied

    Ok, enough complaining. Rupert is doing great. He will be TEN tomorrow. He is slowing down a bit but still his silly, smart, sweet, patient, loving, perfect little self.

    We had a porcupine in the yard earlier this summer. Poor Rupey couldn't understand why everyone was outside and he couldn't go out.

    I waited until he was high up in a tree before I let Rupert out.

    sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff

    We went on a family trip to Colorado. Did you know it's hot there in the summer, especially after chasing a tennis ball 1,000 times? After a while I had to bring him to the basement to sit in front of a fan to cool off.

    The kids have had a great summer. We seem to have run out of chocolate for s'mores though... puzzling. Wink

    Here's my tomboy Willa. She hates girly clothes, but every once in a while she thinks it's fun to dress up.

    We found some monarch caterpillars and watched them turn into butterflies!

    Typical sillyheads.

    Willa is 6 and will be in first grade. Sonja is 4 and will be in 4k. They are both awesome, smart little kids. Willa is an athlete, Sonja is an artist. They amaze me every day.

    I usually get most of my work done after I get the kids to bed. Rupert has a bed in my office. This is the look he gives me when it's time to go to bed. Come on mama, let's go snuggle under the covers together.

    He still babooskas himself. Smile

    Janice!!  I wish I could type a post that indicates clapping and jumping up and down with glee.  You'll just have to imagine me doing that!  I'm so happy to see you and girls and Rupert!!

    Where to begin??  Holy cow, the girls have gotten so big -- just adorable!  I remember Willa being a tomboy and that story of her choosing a certain shirt to wear to school so the boys would play with her (did it have a superhero on it or something?).  She's so tall now, and Sonja sure isn't a baby or toddler anymore!  So glad to hear they are both doing so well.

    And sweet Mr. Rupert, with his greying muzzle . . . awwwwwww . . . I just want to give him a ton of kisses!  He is as cute as ever.  I bet he keeps an eye on his human sisters.  As for his babooska, Ruby spends a lot of time in similar attire.  This is the only pic I have on my PC at work:

    Thanks for posting your update and the great photos.  Don't be a stranger!  The new format is very annoying, even after spending time trying to adjust to it, but I'm noticing lots of website are going in the direction of too many graphics and clutter nowadays.  It must be the thing for mobile devices and the younger generation (not for ol' farts like me)!  Hope you pop in more often!

    It's great to see Rupert and the girls! Willa & Sonja have really grown! I cannot believe Rupert is 10!

    As a side note, if you click on Discussion Forums on the top right, it'll give you a more linear look. Then, on the left side you can select your category, and follow that by subcategory. Once you get to the section you want to post to, select New Topic that's at the top center. You don't have to go to another post to post a new topic. Wink

    lol. Hi Tracy!! *waving* Yes, Willa is very tall. She went to a friend’s birthday party at an indoor water park. All the kids there were from their kindergarten class, and Willa was the only one tall enough to go on the waterslide.

    Ruby looks so snuggly! Give her some kisses for me.

    Thanks for the tip, Tina!
