Puppies Galore!

A very tired little doggy!

Sally last night..

Our dog, Miss Sally Sue, had puppies this morning! We knew she was pregnant (we bred her) but we thought that dogs were pregnant for three months... Nope, only six weeks. She came in the house about 8:00 last night and climbed up onto my lap. She was panting and shivering. If I knew that dogs were only prego for six weeks I would have thought she was in labor (she was)
but since I thought she wasn't due for another month, I thought she was sick. I went to take a shower and she followed me to the room, jumps into bed, and climbs into the covers. I figured she would go find Danny while I was in the shower, but she didn't budge. I go to bed, Sally laying in the covers next to me and Danny comes to bed and puts her into her kennel. Well, Danny woke me up at 12:00 this morning and says, "I think Sally is in labor." So, we look up doggy signs of labor on Google. Reading all of the info kind of scared me. Just like humans, dogs can have a very difficult delivery. I was worried! So I fall back to sleep an hour later and at 6:30 this morning I hear a little whimper. At first I thought is that Sally? Then I heard it again and jumped out of bed because I knew it was a puppy! I woke Danny by saying "Sally had a baby!" I was so excited becuase this little puppy was so cute! All white except for a little black patch on its eye. Then she had three more by the time i had to take Alex to his music class and when I got home she'd had two more! So, if anybody wants a pure bred boxer puppy we have 4-5 for sale! (we're keeping the little white one and might be selling one to bro and sis in-law)

Ten Years Ago Today..

I can't believe that it has already been ten years. I remember this day like it was yesterday! It was early in the morning and I was getting ready for school (I was a senior). I went into the kitchen to grab something to eat and walked into the living room. My mom had the news on and they were at the world trade centers. Only one of the buildings had been hit at the time. I asked what had happened and she said they think a plane was high jacked by terrorists.. I started to say "oh my gosh" and just then the second plane flew into the second building. Mine and my moms mouths just dropped open. We both got teary eyed. You could hear the panic in everybodies voices as they were yelling and screaming. You could hear the camera guy yelling the reporter was trying her best to stay calm and keep her crew calm..It was pure chaos! People running, crying, calling their loved ones who were inside the trade centers. Then when the first building went down.. The fear in everybodies eyes.... Then the third plane that was heading for the Pentagon but crashed into the desert somewhere.. Crazy! When I got to school the whole student body was in mourning. It was such a sad day! We watched the news in all our classes the whole week until the head people (who ever they are) made us turn the t.v.'s off and get back to our regular school schedule. It was a crzy, crazy, life changing day! I will never forget what that day started. We are still living with the aftermath. I am so lucky to be an American. Thankyou to all those who fought and are still fighting for our freedom. Words can never express our (American's) gratitude.

ByeBye Binki!!!!

This is the last time you will see this cute little face with a passy hanging out of it!

So, yesterday Cam was playing and lost his binki. I looked for it everywhere I thought it could be, and it was no where to be found. I then decided this was the perfect opertunity to be rid of binki! This was yesterday morning probably about 7:00 a.m.. He has only cried for it three times. Once while we were at Aunt Lara's for lunch, bed time, and three this morning. It was the cutest thing when I opened his door this morning. I asked him if he was such a big boy sleeping without his binki, and he got the biggest smile i've ever seen on his face and said "yeah!" It was seriously adorable! It made me giggle... It hasn't been nearly the production I thought it would be. He's perfectly happy without it! He's already come out of his shell a little. We were at the grocery store and Alex wandered off a little a bit and Cam goes "Dis, (Alex) NO!" The ladies checking us out thought it was funny that he was yelling at his big brother. I told him next step was pottie in the big toilet and he just grinned at me haha!

Let's Play Music!

Today Alex started music class! He is about three weeks behind, but it's pretty easy, so i'll get him caught up. His teacher had me stay with him today just because she likes to have the parents stay with the first time kids, their first class. So, we went to music class :) I get to go next week also because every other week she has the parents come in and learn along with the kids so they know how to help them practice. It was so funny! When we were on our way Alex asked if I was going to be staying with him and when I said "yes" , he asked "why?". I was kind of shocked. I asked if he wanted me to stay and he said "no..". It shocked me and also made me so happy. I was so scared that he'd be terrified, clinging to me, begging me to stay, crying. I got none of that :) He was so excited to go and meat new friends and learn some music. He's also very shy, and very much a "class clown". So he kept trying to make people laugh at first, but then I told him he had to take this serious and pay attention or else I wouldn't let him go back. He then calmed down and listened to his teacher. I'm excited for him to get out and learn. He loved it! Hopefully he'll continue to love it and be good for Mrs. Tobler....
