Rick Austin's Website

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything . I am learning again. It’s fun! We have a new dog – Say hello to Casey: And  . . . a pitcher in the family: And he hits too . . .

Josh’s team is in first place as of last Saturday. They finally beat their arch-nemesis “The Dogders” – beat them 9-5 . Josh walked, hit a single, stole 2nd, then 3rd and scored a run. He’s having a pretty good year.

Here’s Noah with Casey.

And here’s Chris and Casey. Casey and Chris have a special bond. Chris rescued her from the pound and Casey is grateful.

This was a tough winter for Mom. She traditionally hibernates in the winter and it affects her well-being. It seems to get harder every year. But again she fought her way through it – a little calmer . . .

Hi Merrin, These were taken last July – possibly on my birthday when I last visited. . .

Cheers . . .

– Good Hair!

Merrin and Mitchell and Isaac . . .

Lots of smiles . . .

Double trouble . . .

Like Mother - Like Daughter

Welcome Sawyer Shane Austin/Logan – born to Bethany and Mark on Saturday. Congrats guys.

From David’s e-mail: Bethany and Mark welcomed Sawyer Shane Austin(Logan?) at 9:28 AM today.  He is 7 lbs and 6 oz, and 21 inches long.  He’s got Bethany’s mouth and nose, the long & large Austin hands, and Mark’s EARS!!!

This is “Elephant” and one of his buddies. He belongs to Noah and Elephant has quite a history. Elephant travels with us just about everywhere. Someday I’ll tell the story of rescuing Elephant after he fell out of the car near Victorville and I found him 3 days later – that was a close call. And there have been other escapades . . . but somehow Elephant has survived and he is an important part of our lives.

In Yuma, AZ and in Tracy, CA
