strong winds...and the resulting damage...

I finally got my canoe out of Mom and Dad's garage. Less than 24 hours later our neighbor's tree crushed the canoe...and our fence...



...and our shed...


...but worst of all the canoe.




...OUCH...

Kim's Barber Shop...

HAIR TODAY...

How could you not want to kiss this gorgeous stud?!?!?!?!

OUR LITTLE VISITOR...

Here's a super cute pic of Sparky loungin'. He stayed with us for 2 weeks while Matt & Jess were in Chicago and Cali and was spoiled rotten! We discovered that he likes to sleep 20 hours a day and doesn't care to play 'fetch'. Kim calls him a rag doll because he sprawls out on the couch house and his whole body goes limp, so you can move him in any direction you want!

REMEMBER US???

Hi, we're baaaaaaaaaaaack!!! It's been quite a while...but a very busy, exciting time for us! So, since the last time we posted, we closed on our house, painted for about a week, then moved in.




We also dog-sat Sparky and Roxy (also known as Devil Dog) which was a difficult weekend. Sparky was an absolute doll...Roxy, on the other hand, was not. She would not stop barking, growling or howling at Jon. Finally, when Jon lost his patience and walked toward her yelling, she peed on the floor. I don't blame her...Jon is quite frightening! Don't worry, Roxy, I still love you!!!






Then came the Christmas. All the family traveled to Mom and Dad A's house and all 19 of us stayed at the house. There were 19 stockings hung from the mantle!!! It was wonderful to have the family together again, considering Jon and I didn't get to spend a lot of time with everyone during the wedding.

Stay tuned for pics of the inside of our house :)
