Tribute

On Thursday, February 7, we had to say good-bye to Cracker Jack. In the end he had multiple tumors and was full of cancer. He was a wonderful dog for the ten years that he was a Bierma. Jack was a great walking/hiking/swimming partner, watch dog, friend. He was well-trained and friendly. Gentle with Cora, tenacious with a frisbee. We loved him and already miss him!



Update - I have decided not to take the job with Bethany Christian Services. I would love to work for them someday, but it's not the right time for me to take this on. Thank you to everyone who helped me process the opportunity and prayed for me as we made this decision. Brad and I both feel that this is the best thing and I am very happy about how it has gone. It was a lot easier to make this decision than I thought it would be. I am happy to continue subbing a couple days a month and enjoying every other moment I have with Cora and Brad. The simpler, the better.

Here are a few pictures of Cora. She seems to enjoy picking things up...Maybe she's just testing her strength and balance. I don't know. Here she's picking up a potty chair. No, we're not potty training, but I found it really cheap at a second-hand store so I picked it up for the future.


This is a picture of Cora sleeping a couple days ago. I went in to wake her up because we had to go somewhere apparently important (I try to NEVER wake her up from a nap!) I just never get to see her sleeping anymore like I did when she was so much younger so I just had to take a picture of how sweet she looked!
