C = Center of the universe

It's easy to see why Tristan was getting all the attention yesterday. Isn't he adorable?!

This car suits our family to a T

Yesterday we took rides in Grandpa Huston's Model T before loading it up on a trailer to send home with Chris and Rainie. I can remember my grandpa taking Chris and me for rides in it when we were very young. It was quite a treat seeing Amber, Nicholas and Micheala take rides in it, too.

Turkeys lurkin'

No one would be surprised if I said there was a family of turkeys at the Precht house. But today we had the real thing -- complete with feathers! We've had a steady stream of visitors this summer -- deer, turkeys, a fox, a bobcat, a family of bunnies and, of course, a squirrel or two.

The goatherders are coming!

Chris and Rainie are in town this week! We haven't seen them in ages. We're looking forward to a fun family gathering that will begin in Warrensburg Wednesday morning and end at Nicholas' baseball game in Shawnee.

Você fala português?

Our mission team (Joy, Carol and me) met today to discuss more logistics for our July 31 trip and learn a little bit of Portuguese. Our fourth team member (Yvonne) was unable to join us, as she's on a mission trip to Mexico.

Our workbook, "Portuguese in 10 minutes a day" doesn't mention how many days of 10 minutes we'll need to prepare for our trip to Brazil. Ten? Fifty? Two years?
