Around 2pm a family came over to look at the house. Jared had baked banana bread, which we ate after they left. It was sooo good! This evening we took the dogs to play at the dog park. The boys really liked climbing the dog ramp. It sprinkled some while we were there. Then we took the boys to play on the playground until it was dark. We sure had fun! Eli loves holding my fingers to stand up and also sticks his tongue out a lot.

Jacob had a half day at school today so around noon we headed over to Nana and Papa's house. Jacob and Adam stayed with them while I went grocery shopping. Eli came with me and was happy in the carrier. This evening we celebrated Kenzie's 13th birthday. We got home around 9:30. After tucking the boys in bed Jared and I worked on cleaning the house. We have a house showing tomorrow. Jared vacuumed and then shampooed the carpet while I did other cleaning.

This evening we had to put our dog Kate to sleep. It was much harder to do than I could have imagined (and I didn't even take her to the vet - Jared did). I cried all the way to the wooden park where I took the boys while Jared took her to the vet. Thanks Vikki for talking with me on the phone, it really helped me feel better. Its amazing how much you can love a dog that's been such a pain in the butt! I'm really gonna miss her! Jared buried her in one of the paddock with an empty pop bottle (her favorite).
