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!!

We have a 2nd house...

Yesterday at 2:30 pm we finally closed on our new house. There is a lot of work to be done, but we already off and running with it. A new garage door is getting installed this morning. Mark and I will be spending the weekend cleaning and prepping the house for a new coat of paint. We are excited and are thankful that after a month of speed bumps (and a lot of stress) we finally have the house.
