Beloved Molly

Our dog Molly, who we got from a shelter in Houston when Josh was 3 months old, was killed yesterday. I won't go in to the gory details, but we are devastated by her loss.

Molly was the protector of the family. We all loved her dearly, and in return she loved us unconditionally and gave us 10 happy years of companionship. She was extremely loyal and protective of the kids. We just can't believe she is gone.

This is the most recent photo I could find. Molly is the one with Santa hat on. We will miss her forever.

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone! We are taking it easy this weekend. Ally had her soccer game yesterday morning. They tied 2-2, but it was a good game. Overall, they are undefeated. They've tied twice but have never lost. This is Ally's first time playing soccer, and she says she has found her "love". We're so glad!

Josh had a 3 1/2 hr baseball practice after the game yesterday, so it was a sports day. (when isn't it on Saturday? ha ha) Josh's baseball team, www.simpsonvillelonghornsbaseball.com, has qualified for the World Series, so they are in serious practice mode these days. Thankfully, it is in Lexington, SC so it is not too far from us. We're going to crash on Todd's floor for a week.

Tomorrow we're heading to Mom and Dad's to the lake. We're going to go out and tube and enjoy the water. I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!
