Kitty Sage & Macy Dog!

  This written way back in June... and i'll keep up with some posting.... i think!  

    As you can see our animals are well loved and played with.  They sit very willingly and when the time is up, they let us know by walking off.  That's where the parent step in and make sure the animals get all the gear off for their safety.  Here's a couple of pictures of the girls with their beloved kitty and pup. 

A stroller ride and kitty Sage is getting her fur done. She was so patience. 


 Kitty Sage swinging with EW.  EW enjoyed this way more then the kitty I am sure of this but yet again, kitty sat still with EW until the ride was done.  The bike helmet for safety precautions, ya know! ;-)

 CW playing dress - up with our Macy dog, she was so patience, even with that darn crown.

I will have to say, we have been blessed with great pets.  Even though I really didn't want the cat, she is good (besides that rabbit head/guts I found outside my garage door this am.) and the dog, she is good too! I'll just forget the number of times she's been in the garbage and didn't clean it up herself.

Until next time,

Simply Fun

Running through the sprinkler on a sunny day.

Swinging & under dog pushes

Walking the dog on the leash or rather the dog walking you

Cutting fresh flowers... from the neighbors yard :-]

Watching your favorite show

Reading some good books

Coloring for endless minutes

CMW was a busy girl today and she had fun. Her and little E had some fun with the sprinkler. It helped me remember back in the day when we'd do the same. This time around, she really enjoyed it and we also used the warm water from the back yard hose to warm up! We swung a lot, walked the dog and sometimes Macy walked C. We picked a bunch of flowers for a bouquet, it sure is pretty and CMW colored for I'm sure more then an hour with her markers and just one coloring book. I even got in on coloring of flowers, dresses, purses and more. She enjoys watching Caillou, not sure what it is about that show but i think part of it is all his imagination. It has helped CMW with her, I do know this. And like most days, she found the big brown chair and looked at book after book. Then we get to pick the pile up after she's all done!

Indeed it was a wonderful day!

I Rejoice in the Lord, for our days have not always been this fun or easy going and it's great to know we can have great days like this!

We're curious, what do you find that is Simply Fun?

Our little girl is getting So Big!

It's almost time for Eleanore's 1st birthday post, so i better get some picture of her from her 1o/11 mos. photo opportunities!

11 mo. bear picture!

Eleanore loves the dog bed... not sure why but it's a place you find her from time to time. And yes, the next picture she is using Macy for a 'seat' and she didn't mind. Hmm, we have a Great dog on our hands!

(5.24.11)

Climbing and Climbing! In drawers, on baskets, chairs, end tables, up slides. You name it, she'll want to try to scale it. She likes to be high and see, i don't blame her.

And we had s mishap, she took a tumble down the stairs and got a big ouchy! It didn't bruise bad but she had a lump for about 24 hrs. Bad parenting of the day!

Miss E has also been walking, since Mothers Day!! She loves to play outside in the sandbox or swing. G'ma J got a pretty neat swing and E, giggles and giggles as she's pushed. She likes the water but not sure about the sprinkler. She likes to drink of of a cup, a big girl cup. When outside, E just tootles around on her two little legs, climbing on anything she can. She likes to sit in the flower bed or pet the kitty or pup. She just gets a kick out of petting them, again she giggles by the touch. If she can, she'll get a piece of CMW's chalk and color.

She continues to be a joy for our family and CMW enjoys her as a sister!

We are adding to the family!

Meet Macy

the newest member of our family. A Pub/Boston Terrier mix and boy Am. I. excited! We welcome her to our home with lots of love in hopes we can do the same for her as The Erhardts have in the past. You see, this family, our friends, will be moving to Africa in a few short months to start a baby home and I asked if my family could be put on 'the list' of options for Macy. I am a huge fan of receiving an animal that needs a new home vs. an animal that I need to start from the beginning with. I also appreciate the fact that I will know the history of the animal. We tried her out for a weekend, we visited her at her house, I asked countless questions and then we talked and talked and prayed over this decision. And now she is ours which is exciting but I feel for Lindsay and her family as it's a hard decision to make. But they are trying to make one transition at a time and this is one of the many.

So, here we are, 6 days into having Macy as our own. As we make her family, we are learning and loving this new furry friendship. Macy loves to play fetch or frisbee (this is bonus for Jim), she is a little chubby so the lap dog part doesn't goes over well yet. But she really would love to snuggle and be loved on as much as one can give. Macy does pretty well on walks but Lexie thinks she can improve, so we'll be working on this. She is good with the girls, she's snorter, a grunter, she listens very well, and always is excited to see you when you come home. Oh, did i mention her bark is super cute? It's soft but loud enough, kind of like it's muffled. The only down side, she adds to my dust bunnies that run around my house, I guess the vacuum will be getting a bit more use. :-)

Miss Macy is going to be a great addition to our family and we are glad to call her ours!
