Our New Baby Boy!

Look at this cutie pie! Top photo is a pretty good profile, the 2nd picture is him looking at the camera. Saw him rolling and moving in there!

It's going to be a...

... sweet baby boy! Great appointment, everything checked out well! Another blessing!

Texas: Home, Sweet Home

A little combo of shots...

Rodeo day @ ELC today! Yeehaw! Ave and Claire LOVED the get-up-- poor Ashie wanted nothing nothing more than a diaper... my boy is also sick with a croup-like cough and congestion. He is home napping right now. I had signed up to volunteer and run an event, but being with my sick guy is priority.

Reese has made himself comfortable in the little cottage. Scott added an old piece of carpet, so Reese assumed it was for him, of course. How funny...

What a difference a year makes...

One year ago to the day... it was icy, snowy, cold, cold cold...

Today, it was sunny, warm, and lovely, lovely... Gotta love Texas weather!

Meant to be...

I love it when I have "signs"... This one was particularly cool. We were out walking by the creek-- beautiful weather sunshine... and we saw these 3 turtles sunning themselves on the bank. The kids always name themselves when they see objects that come in 3s... so it was only natural when they saw 3 turtles to say, "Oh, Claire, Asher, and Avery."

And then, as if right on cue, a 4th turtle comes out of the water...

Top o' the Fridge

I have to chuckle... this is what the top of the fridge now looks like:

- separate treat jars for the pups (hypoallergenic and not hypoallergenic)

- antibiotics, creams, ointments

- tranquilizers, pain meds, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories

- beta (used to be on the counter but Avery kept trying to fish her out, literally)

- glucosomine chondrotin, fish oil (not related to the actual fish in the bowl)

- pill pockets

And this is just the current pharmacy for the dogs...

Carly Q...

Well, Carly came through her surgery well. She is resting nicely and sporting this new piece of hardware. My bionic dogs...
