He's a big doggy. 

One more picture of our doggy. 

Anna Monsen is the daughter of Ryan's Mom's cousin. I don't know if you call that a second cousin but she came to CO in Nov. to play CU as a member of the OU Women's Volleyball team. She is a very sweet and mature young woman. It was great to see her.  

Here's our Halloween characters: a bear, a skater, and Eleanor of Aquitaine. 

He's a sweet doggy! 

Here's our new doggy, Shelby! He a black greyhound. I guess he's a blackhound. 

Here's Leah at her first violin recital. She started playing this fall and her teacher says she is a natural. 

Here's an unshaven Ryan blowing out his birthday candles 

So we went to pick up our dog a few weeks ago and Kathryn met a brand new friend in the park. She's never met stranger.
