finally some news!

We actually have news to report to our blog readers! We'll start with Belleau. She is just a riot and could have her own weekly posts. Latest news, she never did "pass" the plastic bone she ate. Just last Thursday, we were out on the hammock and Belleau was laying at our feet then started gagging all of the sudden. She has only thrown up once before (too much water too fast) ... we both jumped up and were a little nervous. In her pile of throw up was the part of the bone she ate (10 days earlier!) and a red plastic piece (from what ... who knows). Cannot believe it. Glad it just stayed in her stomach ... could've ended in surgery otherwise.

She has not destroyed anything else (thank goodness!!). Still cracks us up. She can now jump up on our bed (it's low), but cannot get back down. So gets up, then just cries and whines because she is too scared to jump back down. It's pretty cute.

Okay, on to more "news" ... John starts IFS (Introductory Flight Screening) on WEDNESDAY!! IFS is the first step in what we are bundling together and calling "flight school." At IFS he will get to FLY a lot! And get to study A LOT :). I am excited for him. Sad our days together will be shorter, but shouldn't be quite as bad as TBS. Many fun stories to come.

Still no job for me. But the jobs "close out" in the next two weeks, so we shall see. It's in God's hands, though I am starting to get a little frustrated. He knows best. He knows best. He knows best. And as if not having a job is bad ... check this out ...

I woke up today with a swollen left eye
And have no idea why
Hoping it turns into a stye
But I ain't looking too fly
Enough with my eye.

Let's end on a couple good notes! We purchased a new toy! A red tandem kayak! It's a beauty. Has cushioned seats and all. We just picked it up today (John has spent a good majority of the last two weeks shopping and shopping and shopping and shopping ...) and we will hopefully take it out tomorrow! Otherwise it will be taken out for our 4th of July adventures with the Eckhardts!

One other "good note" ... after talking about it for 18 months we have finally made our own sushi! It was quite exciting. We smoked some salmon and haddock, then made a fresh crab mixture, used cucumbers, avocados, green onions, and just got crazy with it! It was quite yummy. We are trying to get good before Tyler and Lia come visit ;-) (IN JUST FOUR WEEKS!!!!)

That's all from us Lynch's for now.
