Goodbye Max, we will miss you
This weekend we had to give Maximus to a new home. This has been a decision we have been fighting for the last year. This past month Aiden’s allergies took a turn for the worse so we knew we had to make the hard choice. Thanks to a great organization called Rescue A Golden Of Mn, RAGOM, within 3 days Max has been placed at a foster home until his new home is determined.
While this has been a sad day on us we know it is the right thing for Aiden’s best interests. We will always remember the smiles and joy he brought to our home. He was there during the hardest parts of our lives and helped us through them. It is hard to imagine coming home everyday and not be greeted by a wagging tail and a slobbery kiss. While that is true I am sure Max will do his best to put the smiles on his new owners faces and bring them the same joy he shared with us for many years.
Max, you will always be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

Quick Update
Just wanted to write a quick update since it has been a few weeks.
We have been to a number of fairs and events this summer and that has been keeping us really busy. The boys really enjoyed the antique tractor’s and log cabin pioneer village in Hastings a few weeks back.
This past weekend we went to the Washington Country fair, again the kids had a great time and did not want to leave. The car also almost did not let us leave.. At some point the battery acid leaked from Danith’s van’s battery and corroded through the terminal connectors. It was corroded so badly it took a number of hours and the help of her parents to get the correct parts to limp us home. I spent most of the next day grinding off a bolt to replace the terminal connectors.
Last night we were able to go on a family bike ride. I got to toy with a new program on my phone called “Sporty Pal”. This uses the GPS on my phone to track speed and map out the route we took. Below is the 3.2 Mile route through the neighborhood. Looks like a perfect 5K training run, next time. 🙂
Hope to post again soon.
