Meet Molly!

We picked up Molly our new puppy on Sunday and then made the four hour drive back home! Her father is my best friends dog and the mother is another friend of ours from Rice Lake area. Molly did better on the ride home than the kids did! My children are just not good travelers!

so far things are going pretty good...Abby runs screaming anytime Molly comes near her and Gavin likes to pick her up! She tolerates it very well! Yesterday in the rain she didn't want to go potty outside and preferred the living room carpet but we made her stay outside until she went and that seemed to do the trick!

It's been awhile since I last blogged...

Here are some pictures from the past few months...my proud kids in their big kid undies, on a ride at the fair, Gavin wearing his sisters Packer cheerleading outfit to make her mad (and it obviously workes) and Gavin wearing his Packer helmet!

The kids went back to daycare on Monday, August 31st. On Wednesday afternoon I got a call that Gavin had a temp of 102.5 so he had to go home and was home all day Thursday. On Friday afternoon Abby got sent home with a fever...then the next week Abby got sent home again on Wednesday with a fever. I took her to the doctor to find out she had a virus and it was almost done but she should stay home from daycare on Thursday. so Pat and I have used up quite a bit of leave time in the 2 weeks since they have been back to daycare!

Weight loss is very slow. Since I started I am only down 2 lbs. but I am happy to be 2 lbs in the right direction rather than the other way! We are hoping to go on vacation with friends in February so now I have incentive to lose weight...I want to be comfortable wearing a bathing suit since that is what we will be wearing most of the trip!!

and the last piece of news I have is we are getting a puppy! We are getting an 8 week old Viszla puppy this Sunday. I will post pictures of her next week. Her name is Molly! Wish us luck!!!

My Babies Turned 3

I cannot believe that Gavin and Abby just turned 3. I can still remember the day there were born, their stay in the NICU and bringing them home! Where does the time go!

On Saturday, September 12th we celebrated thier birthday at our house with family and friends. Instead of writing all about it I will just post pictures from the party!
