some news to report

{the proof}

• Well, if you haven't heard the news which I believe has traveled via cell phone, text messaging, facebook and now blogger...We are having a baby!
  
• I know that most people wait a little while to tell everyone for 'just in case' reasons but we aren't those people. For those of you who know me, I am not very good at keeping a secret! Especially one of this magnitude!
  
• If my calculations are right...this baby should be making it's arrival shortly before Christmas which is 4 months after our 1st anniversary! D & I just don't seem to be able to do things slow in our lives! We must somehow, deep down love change and chaos because that is how we started and it seems to be our 'thing'. All in all, we are extremely happy and will be anxiously awaiting our new family member!

*Friends*

Molly is sure growing fast and Brody is really enjoying the playmate. She is learning her name, how to sit, going potty outside and is such a love bug when she is tired. She still has many 'puppy' characteristics such as biting, only listening when she wants too, lots of hard play and then hours of sleep and continuous licking of your face. She is still very timid around people besides D & me and is learning to enjoy car rides. She is now taller than Brody and has gained 5lbs in the last couple of weeks. We love her and are glad that we have added her to our family even when she is driving us crazy!

bad, bad blogger

Well, it has been a very busy couple of weeks and so the thing that has suffered is my blogging! Sorry to all my devoted readers that really just want me to keep them updated on our lives. So here is a fast recap of what we have been up to:

• Molly is finally sleeping through the night
• I have started calling her several different names which isn't helping with the actual 'coming to your name' training. She is often called sister
• We are in the process of starting our own business...great opportunity for 'D' to get out of the concrete industry and be his own boss
• We converted one of our spare bedrooms into a his and hers office and we LOVE it!
• We spent the last weekend getting house projects done
• We only watched the Superbowl in the background while doing a hundred other things
• We are hopefully headed on a trip this coming Saturday for a whole week (more details to come in a later post)
• Work is consuming me right now and by the end of last week my brain was completely full and poor 'D' had to put up with my crabbiness.

This week isn't looking too much better. Well, that is about it for updates...I promise I will blog more with pics later this week!

Here is a couple of pictures of our office from different angles. I bet you cannot tell which desk is mine and which one is D's! :o)

we added a new member to our family

Sorry that it has been awhile since i last blogged. D & I have been trying to get over our colds and for some reason, it has taken me a little longer than him! We haven't been doing much but staying close to home. One exciting thing that happened to us this past week is that we added another member to our family. We have been looking through craigslist for the past couple months searching for a dog and just haven't felt compelled to get one until we saw this little one. So yesterday afternoon D came home with our Molly. She is half lab and half dalmatian and just the cutest thing ever. She was very timid last night but this morning she is getting familiar with us and has her 'puppy' personality back. Her Big Brother Brody doesn't really like having her around very much but I think that will change with time. I try to tell him that he can now be a pack leader but he is just too concerned with D & I giving her love!
