JoDanna Wedding

Here are some pictures of Xander at Dan and Joanna's wedding reception this summer.  He had a lot of fun!  This was back with original Hubie.  Xander was so excited that the reception was next to a train yard!

Xoo Train!

Xander fulfilled one of his lifelong goals this summer:  to ride the train at the Xoo!  Mimi and Grandpa Johnny took us all on the train, and we sat right behind the engine!  What a fun (and super hot) day!  The pictures at the bottom were taken in the butterfly house.

Durham Museum

We all were able to go to the Durham Museum during Railroad Days while Mimi and Grandpa Johnny were in town this summer.  Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Bye-Bye Hubie!

We lost a beloved family member this week:  Xander's best bud, Hubie! :(  I don't know who was more upset, Xander or me, but we had quite a harrowing evening.  Xander had Hubie since he was a baby, and in recent months they have been inseparable.  Hubie was such a good friend!  Nevertheless, things are returning to normal around here with our new friend, Newbie Hubie.  Check him out!
