Starting Over...





























On a sad note, we lost all of our koi fish last week. We ended up with a rare parasite after purchasing two new fish. Fred took one of the fish for an injection and treated the water as advised, but in the end we lost all six of our big koi and eleven babies. We are pretty heart sick to say the least!
Fred buried all of the fish, shocked the water and then completely drained the pond and wet vac'd all of the rocks. It is now refilled and cycling. Thanks to everyone that helped out!!
Other than that, everything has been great! We spent five days camping in Connecticut over July 4th and really enjoyed ourselves. We had a great time swimming and we ate at our favorite two spots- Dave's and Fishtale's!
Alena got to go on her first Merry-go-round at Fishtale's. Too cute!
Lily will be joining us for some Perna craziness this weekend-we can't wait to have her.
Denise and I will be spending a few days in Ohio at the end of the month for our Longaberger Bee and then Mom, myself, the girls, Aunt Kathy and Sarah will be heading to the Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos for a couple of days in August. Sophia is SO excited about that adventure!!!
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
Love to all,
Jenni

Lily can't wait until she gets to go to Sophia and Alena's house. She is so excited!!! We're just afraid she won't want to come home. After all she would LOVE a Big sister and a little sister too. She has asked every weekend since we were down to visit you if it was "THE" weekend yet. See you soon everyone, Love to all,
Sheryl and Dad
