More Puppies

So we had another dog who was supposed to be here for a week in March and is still here have 7 puppies. They are very cute and are about 8 weeks old. We got rid of two and kept one here and Johnny took the rest to work today. He brought them to the mom's owner who works down the block from Johnny. So he got to work a little late told his boss and the other guys he works with why and this guy Kurt said " where are they?" Johnny told him and Kurt said he may want one. Well Kurt went down the road to see the puppies and came back with all four. Johnny said what are you doing? Kurt is going to try to get rid of them and maybe keep one well it turns out Kurt is an animal fanatic and volunteers at Pet Smart and everything. Well Johnny's boss comes out and says what's going on, so they tell him and Butch (the boss) goes and buys a bag of dog food for the puppies. Johnny said who knew he worked with half of New Hanover's Humane Society. All in all it worked out the puppies didn't have to go to the pound and Johnny was glad of that. The best part is we kept the little brown one, the others were black and white and there was one that was brown and white. I asked John to ask Kurt if he would potty train the puppy for me and he said yes. So once he is trained I will let him in the house. I don't have the patience, the heart or the stomach to clean up after a puppy and watch two kids and be pregnant all at the same time. Maybe I'm selfish but at least I'm honest.

These pictures are from playing outside today!

Yeah SNOW ! !






Yeah! it snowed in Coastal Carolina we had about 2 inches and were loving it. We went out yesterday morning (before Johnny left for work) while it was snowing and the girls were so excited. They have never seen snow before. This is strange for me growing up in Long Island and not having a winter go by with out snow. Ella came in after a second and said she was cold. Julia could have staid out all day. We went out later and made some snow angels and ran around. Today was the big outside day we staid out for about an hour until the gloves got wet and cold and the girls were done. They came in and had hot cocoa and cookies and warmed up. They were so soaked especially Ella who jumped in the only mud pile for miles in the first 5 minutes.

The Girls Club House



So Johnny started building a clubhouse for the girls over the New Years Holiday. His dad and brother helped him. I was hoping it would be a bit smaller. Those of you that don't know Johnny builds everything for a giant. The clubhouse so far looks great I have attached pictures. We will add swings and a slide this summer. Lots of fun for the girls.

Baby Name Suggestions

OK, So I have been looking for girls names. I would love any ideas. There are a few rules though, well actually one, the name has to end with the "uh" sound like Julia and Ella. I have come up with a few I like so far, they are Sophia, Greta, Ava, Anna. If you can think of any please comment. You can comment as much as you like to this post until the due date. Thanks and have fun.

I Finally Updated :)

So yes KATIE I finally got rid of my pumpkins and updated my blog. I know I say I will get better but this time I will try harder lets call it a New Years Resolution. Anyway, those of you that don't know I am pregnant with our third daughter. John and I are very happy and just now realizing the benefits we are going to have actually having three girls. Julia is excited she get her own room and wants to paint it pink. She has been sleeping in the spare twin bed for about 3 weeks now and loves it. Ella had a hard time with her leaving the room but Benji took over Julia's toddler bed so she isn't alone anymore. Gymnastics is going great Ella is now getting two stamps and I actually watched through the window to see if she is actually earning them and she is. She is doing wonderful. Julia only got one stamp last week because she told a boy he smelled. Well this week she got two stamps and said " I didn't tell Raymond he smelled today, and you know what Mom he did really bad." She is a trip. I hate to say Mini Me! I will post some Gymnastics pictures soon. Well that is all for now I will update again soon. I may get the Gymnastics pictures up tomorrow. PS How come no one told me I spelt Halloween wrong in October?
