Defeated

I admit defeat. I failed my big aspirations of 2009. I did not, and will not, read 100+ books in 2009. I am most disappointed in not reading the Bible in a year. Reading the Bible was something I REALLY, REALLY wanted to do.

Doggone Adorable

I have had her website bookmarked for years...YEARS! It was never the "right" time and I was fed up waiting. I contacted Sheena, on the off chance she would have a liter coming up. As it turned out, she had a couple puppies from her last liter still available and sent a couple pictures.



We fell in love with the red pup, whose white stripe down his face. Hubby was leaning towards a female pup. Alas, the gorgeous red was a male. POO! Dylan had already picked her name, starting with Tinkerbell, then Bell, lastly Bella.

After the kids kept insisting we get both, and let's face it, I really wanted the red puppy, Hubby laid out the argument for adopting both. I, of course, was the last to sign on.

I contacted Sheena again, asking about the possibility of adopting both puppies. After getting all the information we needed, and making Pet Smart very happy with a triple digit purchase for these new additions, we adopted Bella and Jake today.

First Day of School

It's that time again. The first day of school. Today marked a day I have been looking forward to ALL summer long. Dylan starts Preschool. Sadly, today also marks a day I have been dreading ALL summer long. Cameron starts Fifth Grade, which is the last year of elementary here, meaning Junior High starts next year.



Cameron knows the drill of First Day of School pictures. Dylan looks as though he's in a line-up. LOL Don't let his expression fool you. ALL he talked about this summer was going to school. Why the pout? He's Dylan. ;)
