Puppies and a house!!

Well I came home Tuesday to 3 puppies and by the time she was done we have a total of 9!! 6 black labs and 3 choc labs! Mom and babies are both doing great!! They are not registered b/c the dad is a black lab that runs all over the neighborhood and I cannot find where he lives to see if he has papers! So basically we are giving them away for whatever out of pocket cost we have (vet, food, etc). I found 5 of them homes so far but still need to find 4 more!! So if you are interested or know someone who is, please let me know! This picture is when they were less then 24 hrs old!

On another note, we closed on our house on Thursday!! Yeah! Now the fun has begun. Gary has ripped out all the carpet - they had several cats in that house and it smelled so bad of cat pee!! And we wanted the house textured and painted - its an older house, each room had a different texture on the wall. We decided to do all of this before we started moving. Gary will get everything ready and the painters will be there on Monday to start! We hope to be moved in by mid Feb. I will post pictures and keep you posted on moving! Please pray that the next couple of weeks go smoothly and that the baby does not decide to come early than Feb 28th! I have way too much to do before he gets here!! Talk to you later! Have a great weekend!

This Week Highlights!!

As most of you know the weather has been pretty ugly around here lately! I cannot remember the last time I saw the sun. And it sounds like it is still going to be a few more days before it comes back! AHHH not having the sun can really make for some long days! At least for me anyway. My moods a little off and we cannot go outside and play because it is muddy and cold so LB is going a little stir crazy!! Anyway enough about that on to something more positive!

Last weekend G and C (S husband) fished in a tournament and got 9th place out of 60 boats I think. Gary told me but I really don't remember or wasn't listening, please do not tell him I told you that! This tournament or fishing group is called Fishers of Men, the night before the tournament they have a little church service! Its really great that he is involved in this. He really seems to be enjoying it. They have one tournament a month and its only on Saturday so he is home in time for dinner and for church on Sunday. I know he still loves hunting but I think he is getting more out of fishing and at least is getting something spiritual out of it as well! We also seem to be saving more money with him fishing then hunting.

G had to go to Dallas this week and with the weather he ended up staying a little longer then planned! But its okay LB and I got to go out to eat with Uncle Ch and Aunt S 2 nights in a row!! Its so great having family so close! Lillie Beth really loves her aunt and uncle! It was nice for me to get a little break from her! I love her but man its nice to have a little help!!

Yesterday, LB and I had a playgroup at the Children's Museum in the Woodlands mall. For those of you that haven't been there it is really nice and there is lots to do. It was really fun and there was a great turn out! After we played a while we went and eat lunch in the food court and came home for a good long nap (3 hours) YEAH!!! Then Uncle L, Aunt Sh, Cousin C and D came over for dinner! Oh how they C, D and LB love each other!! Its just great to see them all together! (At least most the time)

Today, we have just hung out. We cooked a great breakfast and then ran a couple of places. Then G built a box for Dowie to have her puppies in! Oh have I told you we are expecting puppies???? Yes PUPPIES!! LAB PUPPIES!! RESERVE YOURS NOW!! We are not able to sell them b/c we cannot find the owner of the black lab that breed her!! But at least they will be full labs! So if you are interested or know someone who might please let us know. I will let you know when they arrive. I say it will be by next weekend. G thinks in about 2 weeks! We will see who is right. She has started to leak milk and I have read that is a sign and means within a 7-10 days!!!

Talk to you soon! Please keep us in your prayers! With puppies on the way! Buying a house (closing on 1/25/07) and me due 3/8/07 Less then 7 wks!! We are extremely busy!!

John's visit

John came in on Thursday and does not leave until in the morning! Oh how LB loves her cousin John! We had a great visit and did lots of fun things. I am glad that he got to come for a long visit! G and I had to constantly remind him that monkey see monkey do or say! LB wanted to do everything he did!! But what 11 yr old boy would remember :)! Luckily we did not have any major catastrophes!! His mom has gotten a new job with the IRS as a secretary and is making a steady pay check, great hours and will have benefits! We are very thankful for that. I am always worried about his education and seems to be struggling with reading again, please pray that he just doesn't slide by but really learns and gets the most out of it.
