New Puppy Alert!!

 Meet Jax DePoy. The newest member of our growing family. Along with rescued squirrels, three bunnies, and Bismarck...

We drove out to the middle of nowhere to the Colon, Michigan where they honor their "heros", and eventually came across a farm where breeders had been waiting for us to select the absolute cutest puppy on the planet! 

You wrapped him up in a towel and brought him home. He loves you. He plays with your long hair, and follows you around everywhere. He whines when you leave him. 



Last night we took him to Laketown Beach for the first time. He was reluctant to get wait, and barked, "NOOOO!" when we tried to coax him out to the water. But eventually he joined us and we celebrated his courage.

8th Grade Graduation. and CHASE!

I stood in the back row at the top of the bleachers, recording everything. Because I'm a dad, and that's what we do. We watch. We listen. We believe that our daughter is going to be the recipient of every award available, so just keep the video going in the spirit of anticipation...

And you did. Because of course you did! 

You won the shining star award for science. Your teachers marveled at your intellect and open mindedness. 

That announced that you have a logical explanation for all of your answers, and verify your findings with researched date. You are kind to all of your classmates, and you give 110% in everything you do. I cheered you on, and agreed. She is my shining star!

After the reward ceremony, you gathered with your friends. Emma and Adelle and others. You baked in the heat of the open sun, in a cute black dress. 





You then said, do you want to meet Chase!?


We walked to the back of the crowd and did a brief meet and greet and yes... a picture is accurate. He is 6'5" in 8th grade, and recognized as one of the best soccer players in the state! He is super handsome, kind, and extremely popular. His intelligence is evidenced by the fact that he   l  i  k  e  s    y  o  u !!!!

Look at the grin!
