Catch up

What have we been up to in the last week or so? Lucky you, I am going to give you a quick (maybe not so short) snapshot of the past several days. Oh la lally! June has been CRAZY! Lots of bd's, the last one being our oldest son, K. (I REALLY have to think of a better moniker for him) Lego Boy, Mr Professor, Brains, Goofy Guy, Hyper Loud Whistling Machine, Book Worm, Walking Encyclopedia would all fit. Actually, I often call him my walking encyclopedia, so maybe I can come up with something there. My "K" is also sweet, gentle and quirky. He is a really nice child, and will make a wonderful babysitter in a few years. He is so gentle with younger ones. You can often catch him squatting down and talking to the little ones or playing with babies when he is at a gathering. The rest of the time he is often found yelling "cowabunga!" and charging around, or giggling with his many cousins or buddies. Anyways, he just turned 9 last week, against my stern warnings to not try to grow up.

If you are trying to figure out my baking creation in the above photo, it is a huge hockey stick. It may not look totally perfect, but it tasted pretty good.

Here's the news you all have been waiting for! Meet our new baby:

Wilson

He loves The Skipper.




He is part Shepherd, Lab, plus who knows what else. He is a wonderful addition to our family and my FAVORITE part of this faze, is that HE SLEEPS ALL NIGHT AND HASN'T EVEN CHEWED A SHOE YET! We told our other trusty hound that it is his job to train this little pup, and so far, he is doing a pretty good job.

He looks less than thrilled with the task in this particular picture, but trust me, he seems to be pretty happy with the new little pup.
