Year in Review
The McCoys'
Welcome, Juno!
Juno Pockets joined the McCoy household in late May. We brought our vizsla puppy home at 10 weeks old. Now an energetic 9 month-old, she loves to run trails, investigate EVERYTHING, and snuggle up next to us in the rare moments when she's tired.
A Memorable Graduation Speech
Ryan was elected by the class of 2013 to be the faculty speaker at their graduation. His speech garnered rave reviews from students and fellow faculty members alike. To this day we get stopped by people in the grocery store who just want to say "Man, I loved your speech!"
The Colorado Camping Adventure
This summer we headed west, with stops to see family and friends in Great Bend and Denver followed by camping and hiking at Sylvan Lake, Monarch Park, and the Great Sand Dunes. Our trip concluded at a bluegrass festival in Westcliffe, Colorado. Then four month-old Juno came along for the ride.
