It's been a long time...

I can't believe that I haven't added to our blog since 2009. But the main reason I stopped was the addition to our family... Bree. Once I became pregnant, I was sick all day and all night. Try having continuous morning sickness and taking your last 2 graduate courses. Somehow I made it through and graduated in December of 2009. 2010 was the best year yet! Our beautiful daughter was born and our lives were changed forever. The last 10 1/2 months have been the best months. Watching her grow and learn new things is the best thing in the world. I can sit and watch her play for hours. She is amazing! Hopefully, I will be able to keep updating our blog.

A new place for Bear

Since Mark built us a new workspace, Bear has found a new place to sleep (under my side of the desk). I put a blanket down and now he is in heaven...

Our Swimming Dog

These are pictures of Bear swimming in the neighbor's pool. We have been watching their house and watering their plants while they have been on vacation. The night they were showing us everything, Bear decided to take a dip in their pool. He loves the pool and we cannot keep him out. He would swim all day if we let him. The only problem is he just doesn't swim... he drinks the water too. He comes out of the pool bloated. It usually takes about an hour to get all of the water out of him. He has also learned how to race us... and he usually wins... he is quite the swimmer.

Adventures in dogsitting...

We dog sat my sister's new dog, Hercules this week. It was quite entertaining watching the 2 dogs interact. Bear likes to steal Hercules' toys and then get him to chance him around the house, but eventually they would settle done and act like they were friends.

Our New House

Here are the same pictures, but it moves a little slower so that you can see them better. More will come, as we complete more projects.

New House...

The never-ending dust pile

We closed on the house on a Thursday, we demolished the tiles on Saturday, and ever since we have had dust everywhere. We have cleaned, painted, cleaned, replaced toilets, cleaned, painted... you should be getting the point. We thought we had finally cleaned up the dust for a last time on Sunday, but then the tilers came and created more DUST.

We now have tile and should be getting laminate flooring today. By Friday, we should have all new floors and we will be moving in on Monday.

Cross your fingers and hope the DUST will finally end!!
