Family Pictures 2016

Once again we had our family pictures taken by the wonderful photographer, Andrea Bacle.  We took the pictures at my parents ranch in Riverside so you catch glimpses of the Belted Galloways in our first shots!  It was a beautiful late afternoon with the sun setting so the colors in the sky are gorgeous!  Of course our newest family member, Roxy, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, joined us.  We even got a picture with my parents, their dog Zorro and Grandma (Dad's mom).

Beau: Age 6

Today Beau turns 6!  This weekend he celebrated with a dinosaur pool party!  He's now lived in the USA longer than Australia although he loves to wear his swim trunks around all day without a shirt or shoes.  He talks... a lot.  He always wants to play legos, cars, dinosaurs, restaurant, house or with the Star Wars light sabers.  Beau makes friends easily and thinks McDonald's is great because you get a toy and there's a play structure where he can always find a group of boys to play with.  He's looking forward to kindergarten where he'll get to ride the bus to school.
