I haven’t posted in awhile because it’s been quite busy with settling in our new dog Annie and the holiday season.

Annie is doing great! She had a few pee accidents in the first few days but I can now confidently say she is housebroken. She knows “sit” and “come” now and is working on “down” and “stay”. I’m able to walk her off leash now at the park near our house and she was spayed last week. In another week or two she should be healed enough to take to the dog park and go on play dates with my friends dogs.

My parents got here last Saturday and the boys had a great time with them. Ethan was very excited about it and Daniel was just his usual happy self.

Eric and Jillian got here on Wednesday. We had Thanksgiving here, and Friday we did group pictures at Sears with the two them, my mom and dad, Todd’s parents, Tom, Todd, the boys and I. I will post pictures once they are available. Some of them came out quite well! After the family photos my parents took the boys home and Eric, Jillian, Todd and I went shopping and out to McCormick and Schmick’s for lunch. After the shopping and before the lunch we stopped at the nail salon so I could get a pedicure and Jillian could get a manicure. Eric got in on the action too with a pedicure:

Everyone went home today which is sad. I have tomorrow off and then it is back to work on Monday. Have a great Holiday weekend!
