More Charlie pictures

Update

This month we lost Jake, our black lab. He was 9 years old. It was very sad. Also, this month I had a surgical breast biopsy. Talk about scary. Mike and I were on pins and needles all month from that. The biopsy came back that the cysts I have are benign. I have to keep having ultrasounds every 6 months just to keep an eye on things. When I got the news I felt like a 100 pounds had been lifted off me. Things were pretty tense around here to say the least.

Now on to the good stuff.....

Meet Charlie! He is our new 7 week old chocolate lab. He is very sweet. He had 9 chocolate brothers that I got to sit down and play with. They were so cute! When Mike and I went to pick one out, Charlie came up to me and sat down in front of me. Then he put one little paw on my leg and I was done for. :o)
The kids absolutely love Charlie.


Taylor has become Charlie's Momma. She takes excellent care of him. He loves her too. If she goes upstairs, he sits at the bottom of the steps and whines.

I will put some other pics up here shortly. Have to run Charlie out..... :)

Spring Update

It's been awhile since I've put up a post so I thought I would give everyone an update. March was pretty boring. Work, school, sleep, repeat....

April so far has been fun. I had an EXCELLENT birthday! I got 5 beads for my Pandora bracelet. Went out to dinner with my Dad, lunch with my Mom, dinner with Mike, and lunch with Beth. I also got a beautiful "embrace" necklace from Mike and the kids. This was one birthday I'll remember for awhile. Easter was fun for the kids. The Easter bunny went overboard (AGAIN) this year. Michael has started with his questioning again...."Mom is there REALLY an Easter bunny?". When he was pulling things out of his basket, he kept saying,"Thanks Mom!". :o)

The kids have to find their baskets. Taylor's was in the mud room.




Michael's basket was in the bathroom.

This month I finished Michael's blanket. I made Taylor a blanket last month. I pretty much taught myself to crochet. It's not as hard as what I thought it would be. It still gets my temper going once in awhile when I have to rip out row/rows of work. :o)

These are just pics of Michael's blanket. Nothing fancy, but he likes it. The kids are on Spring Break this week so we are trying to do something everyday. Mostly we are just outside playing, riding bikes or going to the park. It's nice to have them home and to be able to spend time with them. With my new job, sometimes I feel like I don't get to see them very much. Well, I guess that's it. Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Spring!
