Erik the big winner!!At our credit union's Annual Meeting, Erik won a drawing for $100. He had lots of great plans to spend it on, especially LEGOS!

February 2011

Erik was working on a Boy Scout Merit Badge in Pet Care. This required him to take care of our Dog for several weeks. For the most part, ever since we got Daisy, Adler had been her main caregiver. This time gave Erik and Daisy a new, special bond. He did very good on his responsibilities, and since Daisy was not a good candidate to take to the troop meeting, he and Adler filmed this video to show to the troop. Things like this are more special now as they are the memories that we hold on to since we lost Daisy in August. (read more about that in the August post)

Hanging out by the fireplace before heading outside for the night.

Hot cocoa is a must!

The year started out with Adler's scout troop doing a "Freeze-Out". They raised money for a local food pantry and a homeless shelter and experienced what it was like to be homeless. They spent the night in cardboard box "houses" that they designed themselves. For some reason, we didn't get a picture of the box!

Scout Photography project

Erik's Scout group had a photography workshop last week. Here's what Erik shot!
