Cob writing out a Morse Code message

Mary decoding a message from Cob

Baruch's reading lesson.

.... --- .-- -... .-.. . ... ... . -.. .. ... - .... . -- .- -. .-- .... --- -.. --- . ... -. --- - .-- .- .-.. -.- .. -. - .... . -.-. --- ..- -. -.-. .. .-.. --- ..-. - .... . .-- .. -.-. -.- . -.. .-.-.- -. --- .-. ... - .- -. -.. .. -. - .... . .--. .- - .... ... --- ..-. ... .. -. -. . .-. ... -... ..- - .... .. ...

Cob has been into the Morse Code lately. Today there was a lot of message decoding going on. After receiving my second message I found a handy web site you could type the code into and it spit out the translation in the language of your choice! Pretty handy!! Later when Cob was typing out what I thought was a story on the computer I noticed it was all in Morse Code. He told me how much faster it was to type out since you only use two keys. He is planning to write all future stories using Morse Code, then hit the conversion web site and save tons of time. He really is a pretty funny kid. I love that boy. It takes all kinds ;)

Drew worked much of the weekend sanding rust off our "new" van. He than put some p.o.r. stuff on it that is suppose to help keep the rust off. After priming on Monday painting started today. By the end of the day it looked like this!

Here's a close up of the black painted area

Thanks Uncle Eldon for all the advice and for suggesting P.O.R. !

Choices:

Choices narrowed some:

Our Pick:

Yes! We have a new member of the household!!

Please meet Banjo, our ten week old Havanese puppy.

(He shares Uncle Mark and Aunt Rita's birthday)

Drew's parents so kindly offered to keep the children while we decided on a puppy. It was a difficult decision, I cannot imagine how hard it would have been with everyones input!

Everyone enjoyed a turn holding our new puppy!!

Here's Lydia holding Banjo while Georgie, Julia and Meleah look on. The cousins showered Banjo with love and attention! The children enjoyed playing with each other too but there was always someone willing to hold the puppy. He went to his crate tonight without even one whimper of protest! Bet he sleeps good tonight.
