Ike had to say goodbye to the bottle he got from the National Scout Jamboree so many years ago. That bottle has been with him every single day, and has accompanied him on so many adventures all around the World. Unfortunately, yesterday he set it down by a hornets' nest. They didn't appreciate that, so they attacked. Nate got stung multiple times, but fought back with Raid. The bottle got caught in the crossfire. RIP

As if he hadn't already captured my heart, then he went ahead and smiled at me! Oh my. This li'l guy just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Auntie Julie made him the most precious stuffed wolf. He's wearing overalls made from Mom & Dad's clothing. There's even a spot of barn red paint on the back. They loved that color best, and seeing it brings back so many memories!
