Once upon a time, long, long ago, in a town far away there was a brave Daddy and Mommy dragon who lived in a strong castle with “brother dragon”.

They were not your typical dragon family, but were rather silly and cute actually.  They also had two baby dragons that had just hatched and were learning to fly.  They spent most of their time in a soft nest, to which the Mommy and Daddy dragon brought food.

Mommy dragon was a very good Mommy and spent a lot of time sitting on her babies to keep them warm.

One day a mean bear decided to come and attack the castle,

but found the castle and the dragons to be too strong for him and he lost the battle.  Of course the only thing for a self-respecting dragon family to do is eat their enemy.  So they did.

The end.

Here are a few photos from last Saturday when we were working at the meeting room getting ready for conference.

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Dinah last night.  She’s been getting more and more aggressive to other dogs and now people…she bit a little girl who was trying to protect her dog, so we had to have her put down.  We’ll miss her.  The kids and I made this poster of her life with us.

We are excited to announce that we are expecting a new little one near the middle of November, 2008!
