Will, Andrea & Rachel Visit

We had a great time with Will, Andrea and Rachel Walker. They spent the first weekend in October with us. Our home was filled with lots of laughter and fun. The most exciting moment of the trip was when Rachel said she was going to be a big sister. Congratulations, Will and Andrea! I can't wait to hold your new baby.

David & Will Play Golf at Paa-Ko Ridge

David and Will experienced a great round of golf at Albuquerque's Paa-Ko Ridge Golf in the eastern foothills of the Sandia Mountains. Golf is part of their tradition when the two get together!

Rio Grande Zoo

Jonathan, Jacob, Andrea, Rachel and I experienced the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. The animals were very active because of the cooler temperatures.

Dr. Bobby Smith's Visit/Sandia Tram

Dr. Bobby Smith is David's chaplaincy endorser from the Baptist General Convention of Texas. He came for a site visit. Dr. Smith, David and I took a trip up the Sandia Tram to see the beautiful views. The aspens were beginning to turn and the views were spectacular.

Petroglyph National Monument Hike

David, Jonathan and Jacob went on a hike at the Petroglyph National Monument. We are finding the high desert of the Albuquerque area to be a beautiful place.

Kia Has a Bad Day

We took Kia for her first grooming in Albuquerque. Not only did Petsmart shave her (we never knew she was so tiny!), we had to take her to the vet after the groomer "nicked" her leg. The "nick," as the groomer described, led to two staples and ten days of antibiotics. Thankfully, Petsmart paid the vet bill. We know she will be back to her normal fluffy self in a few weeks!

The bottom picture is what Kia looked like after a visit to the groomer in Japan. I didn't know how fortunate we were to have such a great groomer!
