A new, but temporary, pet

The kids have been asking us for a pet baby duck, but someone brought this to our door Friday. He's actually a thank you gift for Dad Rogers, but since he's not here, we get him. I'm not sure that he will stick around for seven more weeks -- he's kinda noisy in the mornings.

Since I missed a post for July, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from last month.
My sister and the cutest baby girl came for a visit; Andy and Carolyn enjoyed someone else's pet duck, and Carolyn made sand angels at the beach -- that's what ya hafta do when you live where there is no snow!

After almost 8 years....

We have a house number!

However, that doesn't mean that mail will be delivered

to our door -- we'll still need to drive into Quito for that. But, it's still fun to have a number.

It's also fun to have puppies again.
