Birdie checking Matilda out!

Welcome Matilda

We are in love! Matilda is adorable and Birdie is showing Matilda where the boundaries are. Wyatt is learning fast that a puppy is a lot of work. Keeping her out of things and not allowing her to chew on things she shouldn't (she is definately a chewer) We are going to take turns letting her out in the middle of the night.

The big Surprise

Today is another big surprise day for Wyatt! Stephen is bringing home the newest addition to our family an adorable chocolate lab/boxer mix puppy. She (yes we know the sex) doesn't have a name yet...we have a few written down, but want Wyatt's in put on the final decision. We are hoping that the puppy will be a good companion for Lady Bird who spends most of her days alone! Last night we asked Wyatt how he would feel if we decided to have a new baby (we were thinking dog, Wyatt was thinking baby baby!) he said flat out no way and got very upset almost in tears. He finally said he doesn't want to share us and he doesn't want us to have more kids. Good to know he feels this way, but we finally reassured him that we weren't having a baby! Too funny!! I will post some pictures of Wyatt with the puppy and the puppy's name later tonight if time allows.
Tomorrow we have Grammie Eastman's Burial. I know she has been gone since December of last year, but it still is hard to deal with. I will speak at the service and pay my respects for a woman who I loved dearly and spent a lot of time with growing up. I promise that Grammie won't be forgot and I am happy knowing she is with Grampa and Cousin Maryann now.
Things at work are changing fast and are a little overwhelming so I am glad it's Friday! TGIF!!!

Happy Birthday Andrew

Today is a special day it's my little brothers birthday! Happy Birthday Andy! It always amazes me when I think of Andy getting older and how much fun birthdays were when we were kids. Usually there were extra kids at the house even if it was a school night and mom made a cake. Pizza I think was the dinner of chose and it was just a great time. I hope that you have a wonderful day Andrew and that you got lots of Birthday love from your special wife Snow and your adorable son Garith. We miss you all and wish we were with you to help you celebrate! All our love!

Getting started

Wyatt has a new passion 4 wheeling! He is learning that helping out around the house earns him gas for the wheeler. I wish you could have seen his face when we brought it home for him. We love surprising Wyatt! He turned 10 in February and he has changed so much in these last few months. He will always be my little man, I just can't say that in front of other kids now. He told me that calling him a preteen sounds better. He is all boy! And yes he is a spoiled boy! Right Grammie and Grampa Light??!!
