This picture is for Tony Maras. We were at the lake this weekend, and saw a huge snapping turtle trying to cross the road. He looked pretty tired!
It was a hot weekend, we tried to stay cool. I spent the weekend watching the weather channel and talking to binz and brian. See comments on hurricane update post. They are fine, just without power at this time.
This last week was the craziest week ever. After injuring my foot, I went to the doctor, it wasn't broken, but I had a sinus infection. Derek had a bad cold, his union voted for the intent to strike, Lindsey was about to be in a hurricane, we had to bring Bentley to the vet for an enema because he ate a knuckle bone and couldn't poop. The first enema didn't work, so we had to bring him in for a second one. You know your life is interesting when the whole family keeps watching the dog cheering him on to try and poop!
But things turned around. I got antibiotics, Derek's union has a tentative contract, Bentley pooped, and the Hurricane wasn't as bad as they thought.

Glad you could view your glass as half full...as Todd is fond of saying! Now, if you had sat Joey down next to that turtle, we could have seen how big it was! Just kidding, Joe...your mom wouldn't do that to you! GAS

Wow... a day in the life of the Aho's. You sure have had an interesting couple weeks. You know what they say "poop happens" and Bently is living proof of that!
It was good to see you & Joey Shelley...I will cherish Joey kiss! Linda

Thanks for the great blog Shelly. Get used to "strike" talk every 4 years or so. Sorry that your problems make all of us laugh.

Hope that this week is better for the Aho family but not too good, I still want to laugh.

You guys!! What a crazy few weeks! I love reading your posts. you make me laugh and I can just picture it all happening. Poor Bentley....that is the way it has been here with Taryn. Being "bunged up" is not fun but it is funny what we do to encourage it! lol
Glad to hear the storm wasn't as bad as they predicted. Hope the two following are not bad either.
Take care of yourselves!!! xoxo
