There's a wedding in the near future!

It's official! Garrett (Summer's brother) and Ashley are getting hitched!!

They are planning some time in July or August.

(Date to be announced later.) 

Our families could not be more excited!

New Bird!

So we ended up with a bird! Jon's niece rescued him from someone who couldn't take care of him anymore but she already has 6 parakeets so her mom said "no way!"  She knows a sucker when she sees one so she offered him to us.  He's a peach-faced lovebird and is approximately 10 years old.  His name was Mickey but we didn't really like it so we changed it to Kanoni, which means "little bird" in one of the African languages (lovebirds originate from Africa).
Nike isn't quite sure what to think of him but for the most part they get along pretty well.

Fun Stuff

I am horrible at this blogging stuff.  Actually I have NOTHING to blog about. 

No kids to blog about or interesting vacations because all we do is work. 

But we were able to go last Friday and watch our SIL, Julie do her first Highland dancing performance at the David Barclay Memorial. She is on the far right and did awesome! You'd think she's been doing this forever but she's only been receiving lessons for a few months.  I love that Jon's family is so into their Scottish heritage.  Jon, his brother Andrew, and his dad are all receiving lessons to learn to play the bagpipes.  Something that Jon has wanted to do before I even met him.
