My girls are growing up.

And they are growing up quite well. 

They are (almost) always willing to help out. They are kind, sweet, and fun. They can be crazy and funny and silly. 

My favorite times are our after dinner talks at the table. Instead of leaving the table after we finish eating, we all stick around for awhile and talk. My girls are learning to think more like mature young ladies and we can have some real conversations. 

And they just make me feel happy. 


Joshua and I took Carl on a walk today to get the mail and while talking to our neighbor, he decided to lay down in the mud.

So...Carl got the 2nd bath of his life.

He liked it, thank goodness. If he is going to be an inside dog, he has to get used to it because they'll definitely be a monthly thing.



And not to jinx it or anything, but we are going on day 2 of no accidents in the house.

A happy, happy day...



(Anybody else have the Live Iowa Results pulled up in another window? 
Trevor, so far, is pleased with the results....but it's a close one!)

HaHa! Scott's watching them via Internet too, as we speak or as I type.
Although he says, "I'm still among the 41% of undecided Iowans... just anybody but Ron Paul."

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
