Luke is turning six!

So, all of Luke's baby pictures are pre digital camera. I will tell you he's been a happy kid from day one. He was my one delivery without an epidural(thought I was going to die!) Luke is a gentle, loving boy with a heart of gold. He notices the new dresses and new hairdo's at school and home. As a young child he could fall asleep anywhere. Once even on the stairs into the house from the garage. Numerous times he compliments me on my hair or outfit or food I've cooked. In fact, right now I am baking him a chocolate cheesecake for him birthday. Tomorrow is his birthday and will will have the official celebration at the hospital where daddy is working tomorrow. I love this boy so much and I'm really glad he's my kid. I look forward to watching him grow in to a loving young man.

Valentine's Day

So, Yesterday was Valentines day and I decided to do something different. We had fondue for dinner. We had a cheese fondue and a chocolate fondue. Both were a big hit and Brenna thinks we should do this for birthdays and not have cake. This pictures so Regan in good form, making a mess and being cute.

The Worst Decision Ever...

So, my last post involved our puppy Pike. A day after he came home Todd said, "This is the worst decision you've ever made in our 13yrs of marriage." After a week with the dog I agreed with him. It's not that I don't love the dog but I have a three year old that is trouble with a capital T. I tried hard to keep the dog busy an occupied but he loved to steal food, eat paper, and sneak into the basement to mark his territory. I finally made the decision that he needed a different home with someone who had the time for him. I felt like he spent way too much time in the crate with all my running around. Posted him on Craigslist and had quite a few inquiries. Found a single older guy who needed a best friend. I felt like this weight was lifted from my shoulders after the exchange of ownership. Garret is begging for a new dog but I know better. It's not the right time for our family. I'm sorry for all of you animal lovers who this I've done a disservice. I feel I did the responsible thing by not taking him to the humane society. So, no more dog food, poop pick up and doggie park. I wish i could do a cheer!!
