    We have two Boston Terriers (Darla & Gizmo) and a Boston Chihuaua (Cloey). They are wonderful pets!

Taking Connor to the Dr - again!

Seems like when it rains it pours!

He had some warts removed from his knee. This was my first ever dealing with warts. Tried freezing and a million home remedies. They helped but never got rid of them. We have a check up in 2 weeks. Connor was given the option to refreeze them at the dr or a shot and them cut out. He looked at Dr. Metry and said, "cut them out!"
Needless to say, he did a lot better than I did. He wanted to watch but they gave him a really cool I SPY book.

Then to the dentist. Then a trip back to the dentist next week to do the needed work.

Now we are off again this morning. I will have to write more about it later. NO it's not anything swine related.


He is a trooper though. He proudly tells everyone that he is the brave one! Meaning Payton is the "scardy cat."

    We've been to the doctor so much much that I think we sent him into early retirement... literally. He retired two months ago. Now we are sending the new doctors kids to college!!!!

Time for an update...

The last 2 months have been really strange for us!

There's been a lot of people doing work on the house. It takes a huge toll on you. Don't know that I would ever want to build a house. Well maybe not for a while! LOL!

Things I have learned:

No matter who you have working in your house- YOU MUST stay right behind them and watch everything they do! It gets very costly when they do what they think will look good instead of asking what you think!

*Always get the bid in writing!

*If they tell you 2 days plan for 4 and get the that price also.

*Don't be afraid to tell them you want to do it different! It is your home and they don't live there.

*Don't pay them until the job is 100% done and the husband has seen it!

*Don't be afraid to tell them it is done wrong.

*I consider myself easy going and that is not the attitude to take with someone working on your house.

Now I am off to push water towards our new french drain that was put in the wrong place.

Hopefully the same things don't happen to you!

    I thought there would be an update (gloating perhaps) about the nice crowd you had at your house Monday night for the study. I heard around 40. That is awesome considering the weather. We pressed through adversity to the tune of 17 ... but it was nice.

    oh come on, builing a house is fun -- if you have the right builder. we've done it twice and loved it both times.
