A Busy October

     We celebrated two big birthdays this month.  Terry celebrated his 45th by attending Aubrey's volleyball game and Aubrey turned 14.  We went camping two weekends -- although we spent both weekends running back and forth due to other commitments.  Aubrey participated in the league vocal concert at ESU, played volleyball and cheered at football games.  Kaitlyn has been a busy college girl, meeting more people than I would probably ever care to know.  She still comes back one night a week to teach dance.  Aubrey got braces last Wednesday and is finally feeling better.  Any "spare time" we have, Terry and Aubrey try to help Dale with Aubrey's truck aka The Project.

Kaitlyn and Terry participated in their first Tri-Sigma Dad's Day

Letting Go

       Ralph, the water turtle, was given to Aubrey by her PawPaw Elden.  PawPaw found him in a mud puddle at his house.  We kept Ralph in an aquarium with a little water to swim in and some rocks and a fake log to climb on.  He lived on turtle food bought at a pet store and he did quite well. After a year and a half of caring for Ralph,we decided it was time to set him free.

Saying Good-bye

Almost there....

Ahh, sweet freedom!

                     Papa Dale's pond, where Ralph now resides.
