Two Weeks

On Saturday the little puppy turned 2 weeks. She has gotten so big. Her eyes are now open and she is climbing all over the place. She is cute. She has a home waiting for her in a couple of months. It makes me sad cause I'd like to keep her, but she will grow up, and I know I don't need another dog. Puppies are just so irresistible!

One Week Old

The little puppy is one week today. She(it's not a boy, so it must be a girl!) has grown. She is a bit fatter and longer. Her eyes are still closed, and she doesn't do much more than eat and sleep.

Bella is getting less protective of her and will now leave her box to eat and play a little. We are excited for the puppy to wake up and play.

Not much else is going on. Curtis and I both started back to school and are adjusting to the busy-ness that adds to our schedules. Megan started ballet. Nick is still doing Tae Kwon Do, and Jake is on swim team. Caleb is still loving Kindergarten and wishes that he could go on weekends.

The daylight is growing shorter and the temperature keeps dropping. Winter is cold but beautiful. You get the good with the bad.

Bella's Puppies

We are experiencing breeding for the first time. Bella, our female Maltese, gave birth to two girl puppies today (Nov. 7, 2009). One was born at 10:00 am and the other at 10:30. Unfortunately only one of the two survived. This is the one that survived. The children call her squeaks because of the little squeaky noises that she makes. It was a neat experience for the whole family to witness.
She is a tiny, little thing that can fit in the palm of your hand. I would say about 5 in. long and maybe a half a pound. Not quite a "pound puppy". Ha Ha!

Cake Decorating

My friend Melissa teaches the Wilton Cake Decorating Course. She just finished teaching a group of us. I learned a lot but learned that I am not skilled enough for serious cake decorating. This was our last cake. I conquered the rose. So now all our kids will get roses on their birthday cakes whether they want them or not!

Happy Halloween/Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our little princess. She turned 3 yesterday. It is hard to believe. She had a Barbie cake. She LOVED it....she is 100 percent girl even with all these boys around.

Nick as Lord Voldemort. He was scary(to Megan at least!). Jake was Harry Potter. They were fighting continually. Next year we will avoid the whole arch enemy thing.
We were all dressed up for the church Halloween party. The kids were able to trick or treat indoors considering that it was about 5 degrees last night!
