Puppy update

So it's been a few day since Max joined our family, and it it taking some getting use to. Since I am allergic I have been a walking zombie from allergy medication that I have been taking. But, all in all he is doing pretty well. He is so mellow (for a puppy). And he is doing really well potty training. Although I think I would have to say that it is easier training a baby than a puppy. My boys love him so much (that includes Ryan). They think he is the greatest addition to our family. I am so glad that they all love him so much. Seeing them happy, makes me happy!

Newest member of our family

I'm not sure if you know or not that I am extremely allergic to dogs. Most animals in-fact. I currently have a dog, but she has to stay outside because when I touch her I get hives. Well after my parents dog passed away in August, they got the cutest little puppy ever, her name is Molly. She is only 3lbs. Well......While we were at my moms house last weekend Ryan was playing with the puppy and decided he wanted a little house dog. Since I have a problem, falling in love with their cute little faces, I couldn't say no. So tomorrow we will be bringing home Max. Welcome to our Family. (I guess I will have to be loaded up with benedryl)

Wii

Ok. So, I have been wanting a Wii for a while now. I didn't even have a clue about them until my wonderful Brother-in-law insisted I play tennis with him. I'm not sure who had more fun, me playing or him and my nephew laughing at how quirky I am. Any way, my work did a drawing for one and of course I didn't win. But thanks to my wonderful parents, we got one for Christmas. Thanks so much Mom and Dad. We love it. I look online every day at all the fun accessories we need to get. It is starting to consume my life!! I have even joked that I am going to buy Ryan a Wii Fit for his birthday (that's on Saturday). But, then I worry about what he will get me when my day comes around. I have had so much fun just watching my boys learn how to play.

Back to normal

Caleb went back to school today, and I feel like we didn't do anything fun while he was out for 2 weeks. I had made a few tentative play dates but with the holiday hustle and bustle, it never worked out. Now that is is all over and things are getting back to normal, hopefully we can start playing with friends again. Well, after school of course.

Over all we had a great Christmas. It started off a little rough. Santa Came about 12:00 AM and I had only been in bed for 1/2 an hour when Caleb came in my room and told me that he threw up!!!!! As he was walking out of my room he noticed that Santa had been here and he wanted to start opening presents. Since I hadn't even had a chance to fall a sleep yet I insisted he go back to bed. And at 4:00 AM, Bunches came in my room and told me that Santa had come. Again........I made him go back to bed. But after we let them finally get up at 7:30, they were so excited.

This is the ornament that Caleb made for us.

Caleb was pretty serious about playing his new Leapster.

I didn't think we would be able to go visit family because Caleb hadn't been feeling well, but he kept telling me he was fine and he wanted to go to Grandmas. How could I tell him no on Christmas? It was a day for him, so off we went. And of course, I left my camera sitting on my counter, so no Grandma pics.. Sorry. But I did get a few when we went to my mom and dads the Saturday after. I know, I am so rude. (I don't have any of Caleb, well he hung out in the bathroom, still sick.)

Bunches loves Mickey Mouse Club House

Mylee is so excited to open her present from me

This is the cute quilt I made for Mylee. She loves it.

Even though I put so much work into having the perfect Christmas for my family, and the days leading up to the actual event I am quite grumpy and hard to be around. It is so worth the work to see my family happy. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I know we did.
