Goodbye Boy...

 
 
Shiloh "Bear" Vargas
1/23/01 - 8/24/13 
 
 










 
It was a sad morning today in the Vargas household. Today we said goodbye our dog Shiloh. Shiloh joined our family in August of 2002 when we adopted him from the Animal Defense League. Ironically, many of the pictures of Shiloh in the car were taken exactly 11 years ago today on a ride to the park. Caitlin is extremely sad and telling her that Shiloh had passed was very difficult. She kept telling us that Shiloh is her best friend and has been with her for her whole life. Shiloh was a great dog and a big part of our household for over a decade and will be missed. We keep telling Caitlin that Shiloh's now in Heaven playing with Papa.

Time flies...

 
 
 
 










 Every time I turn around lately it seems like another month has passed that I haven't updated the blog. :-( I really need to find the time to keep up with it more! Especially considering that we're about to embark on the next great journey in the Vargas house. Next Monday, Caitlin will be starting Kindergarten! This coming Friday we get to go meet the teacher and see her classroom. I think we're all filled with mixed emotions right now. Toni and I are having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that Caitlin is already 5 years old and is going to school already. It really doesn't seem possible that we could already be at this point! Caitlin has gone from not wanting to go, to being excited about going, and back to not wanting to go. The other night she came home crying and wanted to sit on my lap. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that she doesn't want to go to the big school because she's afraid. I'm sure by lunch the first day she'll be super excited though. :)

This month has flown by. We celebrated Cousin Ryan's 2nd birthday and took a trip to the Zoo with Nana Bev. I'm taking this Friday off to spend the day with the girls. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we'll be able to have a nice last day of Summer together. I'm going to keep this post short but I wanted to at least get some pics up this week. I'll definitely post next week to talk about Caitlin's first day of school!
