Where Are the Brownells???

This spring has seen us travelling north quite a bit and people have been asking questions, so here are a few pictures of what we've been up to. We're building a house on Lake Hartwell in Anderson, SC. And no, we're not moving. The tubing pic is actually from last summer on the lake, just a favorite.

Easter

We didn't get any pictures of us at church this year to my dismay, but I did remember to pull out the camera later on when the kids hunted eggs with their cousin Caitlyn. They also played load up the seesaw.

A new puppy

Cooper has left us (due to aggressive behavior) and been placed with another family. Although it was very hard to do, it was the right thing for all of us and he was immediately adopted by someone else.

About 8 days later, a little black puppy appeared on our front lawn and never left. We couldn't find her family, so she has joined ours and it's a pretty good fit. We even took her to SC a few weeks ago and she was great. The kids named her Lucy.

We'll be back soon

Wow - I have been so busy and neglectful! I'm going to post soon - I had left the camera in the camper in GA for awhile so couldn't get any pics!! I need to put up so much stuff, I'll try tomorrow - right now I'm bushed. Goodnight!

Puerto Rico

Daniel and I just got back from 6 gorgeous days in Puerto Rico for his company's managers meeting. It was beautiful - the resort was on the beach but very close to a rainforest and mountains. We enjoyed a feast every night - including one in the rainforest and a sunset cruise. We spent our free days in the rainforest and historic Old San Juan, founded by Columbus and resting place of Ponce de Leon. All in all, it was incredible.

In the rainforest we hiked to the waterfall and Daniel was brave enough to get in. Brrrr!

New Toy

Daddy and the boys enjoy their new toy. Right across the street from us there are lots of trails in the woods that they ride on.

Football

Robert and Ryan have been playing flag football every Saturday. They absolutely love it.
