Hey,

I don't get to see Emma everyday to notice small changes. A lot of times a pregnant dog wont show that they are pregnant until they are about 7 weeks. Today we were checking Shirley's notes and she said on May 30 that Emma may be going into heat, but she never got really plump like the girls get in their puss area and no one saw her get stuck. Emma's so fast that Dutch probably got her at night after everyone was put to bed. We got all the wood sheeting done, just a little trimming needs to be done on the ends were the wood over hangs the roof. We also took down that old analog TV antenna and an old satellite dish. Levi, Rachelle and Wyatt came over for a little bit. Wyatt looks just like Levi did when he was a baby except for the brassy red hair. I just remembered I have a couple pictures I took of him today and I'll sent another email with his pictures on him. He was so funny, he just kept frowning and looking at me. Which is normal for his age to have a sense of who are strangers and who belongs to him. Last time I saw him he was all smiles. Wanna know something funny? The roof above Shirley's bedroom was pretty low and so Shirley and I put some boards there to build it up a little bit. So I told Amber that we put a door there yesterday to fill in the area, then today we were still talking about the door and stuff and how it was funny that one day someone it going to remove the roof and find the door or they will open up the ceiling and find a door and will wonder where it goes. The funny thing is that no one questions us that we really put a door there. They all just accept that we would do it. HAHA too funny. Well anyways I better get some sleep. I love you always. Take care of your feet. Let me know when you get your boxes. I put some foot powder in one of them it will help keep your feet dry inside your boots. Lynda mailed you a box of books Friday and left a card inside with her email address on it so you can send her a email message to let her know you received the box okay. You may want to throw in a thankyou also. I think she said that she put 19 books together for you and that you should pass them around to the other guys. Mom XOXOXOXOXOX
