In the words of our little friend Aeden, Blue is getting "tutored" today.
Since we may breed Polly again, we decided to get Blue neutered so there is no chance that any accidents will happen.
Blue couldn't have any food or water after 8pm last night and for those of you who have met Blue, this was not easy! He LOVES food. We had to leave pretty early so I could drop him off so he was still pretty sleepy (and hungry) and didn't quite know what was going on. All Polly knew was that someone was "going" and she wanted it to be her. So, I had to bribe her a little with a treat, which of course Blue wanted because he was so hungry. Anyways, I finally got Polly inside and Blue outside in the car and off we went. He should be having his surgery sometime this morning and Polly and I will pick him up this afternoon after work.

Not to Worry...
Triathlon pictures are coming...
I used my regular camera, not the digital (READ...I have to actually get the film developed- the INSANITY!) to make sure I got some good quality pictures of the race. I'll try to get them uploaded asap.

Commissioning Day in VA
As many of you know, my (Miriam's) parents are moving to do full time mission work. They have been in training for the past 8 weeks in Virginia and were finally commissioned this past Wednesday. Our whole family, my brother and sisters and their husbands, were able to be together for the event.
The kids and spouses all came to our house on Tuesday night and then we travelled up to Richmond on Wednesday morning for the afternoon service and back to our house that evening. We were able to spend time together as a family which we don't take for granted anymore. Mom and Dad will be leaving at the end of April to move to Costa Rica for language school for one year and then move to Guatemala permanently. They will have furlough after a couple of years to come back to the States.
We as kids are SO excited for them but yet are sad because we will not get to spend as much time as we are used to together. Mike and I are planning on taking at least one trip a year down to CR and Guatemala but that is a lot fewer than we were taking to GA in the past. We know this is just part of the deal and will cope through Skype, Vonage, Blogs, and the other host of technology that helps people keep in touch. We are thankful that these things have been invented for us. Many families in the past had to rely on SLOW mail communication and expensive phone calls, if any!

Lily's last day with us
On Monday, March 31, Lily left to go live with her new family. With mixed emotions, we enjoyed our last night together. Lily was so much like Polly but quite a handful. It was hard though after keeping her for nearly 15 weeks to let her go to someone else's house. In some ways, she had become part of the fam. We realized that she would have to go but it was still kind of hard.
Here are a few pictures of the last few days with Lily.
