Snow in Little Rock is kind of like ordering chicken strips at Mi Ranchito. It just isn’t right. Or, at least, it just isn’t expected. But, lo and behold, it snowed Monday morning. Granted, it only lasted for a few hours and by mid-afternoon there was no trace, but it snowed!

We spent the weekend in Cabot with Amanda’s family. Her brother and his wife (you might remember them from this post or this one) were there as well. Besides being the best insurance agent west of the Mississippi, Andrew is a pretty good dog trainer. He and his wife, Adrien, have been working with their lab, Sooie, for a few years. She has won several dock jumping contests.
Here are some dang cute shots we got of La Sophie and Sooie hanging out over the weekend. Andrew is going to enter one of them in a contest. More on that later.

I love the fall. And I’m really excited it’s almost here. We haven’t experienced an Arkansas fall in about three years, so we’re going to make the most of this one!
We took a big blanket out to Pinnacle Mountain and let Sophia run all over this grassy field. Click here to see her in action.

I’m back in the U.S. trying to get caught up on greek homework and watching college football.
It was awesome to get off the plane and see my beautiful wife and daughter waiting on me. I missed them like crazy.
The trip was amazing. I was able to see a lot of friends. I didn’t realize how much I missed that place.
Marty, Dave and I were able to collect a lot of images and information and will hopefully be useful in inspiring people to share their resources with the folks in Peru who have suffered as a result of the earthquake.
I’ve added a page to the blog and put there photos and excerpts from some things I wrote down throughout the week. Just click on the ‘Peru Journal‘ link above.

Here’s a funny pic of one of our girls having some fun with the tissue paper from all her presents after her graduation.

This can be a very emotional time for our girls. They’ve been saying they want to leave the Promise House for months. And, then, when the time comes they realize that they are going to miss it. They find out that they are sad to leave.
