I know some of you are still looking on here for updates. Things have been really good. Alyssa's doing really well. She sleeps great and eats great. She truly is a joy just to be around.

She doesn't do anything in the jumperoo except likes to be in the standing position and likes to look at the flashing lights.

Our quirky dog, Darcy! She cracks me up!

After looking for a place to hike, we walked next to the river by Wendy's in Arkona. The dogs had a blast and Al stayed awake the entire time. She loves riding the carrier with dad!

Riley found the biggest stick he could and Max decided that he wanted to help carry it.

LOVE this picture of Al and her great-grandparents!

Compare this picture with the next one...interesting to see how much she's grown!

Yes, she will fall asleep anywhere!

2nd Annual McCulloch BBQ

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 was our 2nd Annual McCulloch BBQ at our house in Lucan. Even though the weather turned out to be pretty cold and rainy, everyone seemed to have a good time. An indoor BBQ is just as fun! It was great to see some of the people I met at St. Joe's and great to hang out with other friends and family. Thank you to everyone for making it another great day!

Shower #2 - McCulloch Side

Sunday was Alyssa's second shower with the Stuart's, McCulloch's, friends and people from the store. It too was a fantastic day. Much more humid than Saturday, but a wonderful day to spend with family and friends. Thanks Doug and Rose, Cathy and Wendy for putting on a great shower!
