So an update on Chelsea, the dog. She is still driving me crazy digging up the gardens, I swear she knows what plants we are especially proud of and tries to destroy those ones-never hurting the weeds of course! I have tried every suggestion out there besides a 6 food fence (a bit much for a small back yard though). If anyone has any more suggestions, I'll try pretty much anything.
When we got her we also got a cage for the bird, Cookie...just in case... Well, today they had an encounter...
Cookie flew out the open door. Robert and Michael thought that she flew out of the yard so they started searching down the street when they heard Cookie squawk in our back yard. Then they heard a lot of squawking from Cookie and from other birds.
They ran fast and when they got to Cookie they found her in the corner of the yard with Chelsea protectively laying in front of her keeping away the larger, meaner black birds that were circling above!
Cookie had a minor foot injury and she's missing some feathers off her back but she was so happy to see Robert and the inside of our house again. Perhaps she won't be as eager to get outside and she won't fly into the windows as much.
So good dog Chelsea, you passed the "are you friendly with birds" test!

This is a good post!
Do you ever have great news that you just don't feel like sharing right away? You just want to be selfish for a time and keep all the joy to yourself? Well, I do.
Sometimes I just don't want to share things because sometimes people just aren't as excited as I am about my joy or they say, "I knew it!" instead of the "That's so wonderful!" that I hope to hear. And other times I just don't want to tell because of all the work it takes to tell everyone that must be told...all the phone calls to parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends...and the list goes on! (Not that I don't LOVE talking to all of you but sometimes knowing that I must call all of you in a short amount of time while taking care of my children too can be a bit overwhelming-I know you have all heard them screaming for my attention in the background! So please don't be offended that we didn't call.)
So, I am telling how I want, when I want and if you are reading this congratulations, you may be one of the first to know. To those of you who wanted to know sooner but didn't check our blog, you should check our blog more often because there are some really fun pictures of our kids (that some of you have probably requested to see) and fun movies of, what else, our kids!!
Speaking of movies of our kids, here's a great one, they are SO SILLY! Enjoy!
Come back again soon to check out more fun stuff about our kids on our blog!!
