Celebrating Russell's birthday on August 8th, 2013

On Sunday the 4th of August, we got together with Katie and Russell to celebrate his up coming 26th birthday! We are so lucky to have Russell as part of our family, we always welcome any opportunity we can to get together with him (and Katie of course) and enjoy their company. We also like to see our Grand dogs, so any opportunity that we have to spend time with their entire clan, we jump at the opportunity.

 

When Katie and Russ first arrived, Charlie, Rosie, Mack and Sambo mixed it up a little bit. Sambo, who is quite the water dog even at times took over command of the 'doggie pool'. With Lilly's frail health, we tried to keep her out of the wrestling that was going on. And of course, everyone is welcome when it comes time for biscuits to be handed out!



After the dogs had kind of blown off some steam, they started relaxing and we got to visiting. We enjoyed a very nice bar-b-que of steak and chicken with all of the trimmings such as salad, baked potato and the likes! Once the dinner was done, it was time to have Russell open his gift and to enjoy some birthday cake. We sure miss having the kids as close to us as they once use to be, but we are so glad when we are able to get together with them when ever it is possible.





Happy 26th Birthday Russell, we think the world of you!

Love Carol and Eric
