Dear Sianna,

I haven’t written in awhile because this has been a difficult few weeks. Our hearts are heavy right now because Bogey, our lab went to doggie heaven on Friday, June 30th. He has been with us for over 7 years and it has just broken our hearts. Abby is doing well…and we are finding her company very soothing right now. We were so hoping that you would get to enjoy these dogs as much as we have…but it was his time whether we agree or not.

I have been on a “vacation” this past week from work. I needed, more than I realized, a break from my work. This has been good for me. Your daddy and I have been bowling, we went to a local base ball game, we have gone camping and of course fly fishing. I also drove up to see your grandmother Mildred for a few days and I also drove up to see your other Grandma Patton. Both visits were healing and special!

Some frustrating news…I heard back from our agency and our paperwork did not get logged in when expected…BIG SURPRISE….they were logged in on June 6th 2006. So….NOW we have a month behind us…instead of almost two. As usual…I am just going with the flow of things right now…and not trying to get caught up in the drama that can come with this process. I just have happy thoughts of you…and I seem to be just fine.

Your daddy and I have another vacation planed in August…which believe it or not…I will be ready for. This week was nice…but your mommy is tired…and this rest, both mentally and physically…is great!!!!

Well your dad and I are off to the river, the Holston, to catch a big beautiful brown!

Love you…always,

~Mommy
