I did go home mid August for Gma & Gpa's 50th anniversary as a surprise. It was a good time and great to see everyone. I took some pictures, they are posted online if you want to check them out. They are at www.flickr.com/mimilach.
Lisa might get her neck brace off today, so everybody think happy thoughts for her. I hope it comes off, 13 weeks is a long time and I think I would have lost it by now.
I have some more pictures (again, they are pretty random). The captions and stories will be below each one as usual.
the dogs just love our backyard and the deck, i see them just sitting like this, or annie just chillin while sunbathing all the time. the also enjoy just watching all the backyard creatures we have, i am guessing this time they might have been watching for birds. jaska managed to catch and kill one a few months back and annie loves to bark at them, as long as they dont kill a squirrel i will be ok
speaking of backyard creatures, annie had a little run in with one. she was bit on the tail (right behind her little butt) by a snake. luckily we live near an emergency vet so on a friday night at like 10pm in early august i got to drive her there as i was freakin out because i was afraid she was gonna die or something. the vet said it was a canine bit, but everyone who has seen it (and ian did some online research) said it was a snake. jaska would never bite annie that hard and while annie is stupid, she is not dumb enough to bite herself in that location that hard either. anyway, they had to shave that part of her tail and put 3 staples in, so she had to wear the collar. she becomes paralized with it on, so it was quite interesting, after 2 days she figured out she could walk backwards, and then after another day she found out her legs did infact still work to move her forward. but she cant walk up or down the stairs, or get on or off the bed with the collar on (actually she cant do a lot of things since she is so short) so we had to take it on and off a lot. but she is all healed now thank goodness!!!
another backyard creature, i have become very fond of the squirrels. this one was eating an acorn and ian used his great live action nature photography skills to get this great picture. he was on our fence but then he jumped up in the pecan tree to hide, but ian still managed to find him. isnt he a cute little squirrel :)
we finally got a dining room table, another IKEA purchase, just gotta love that store. i really like the table, we havent used it yet because we eat on our couches (which i will eventually take pictures of, i promise) but i plan on using it at thanksgiving for the first time (hopefully)
i finally started working on my paint by numbers again. i had started this one over a year ago and finally finished it over the weekend (finding a house and moving made it hard for hobbies). i started the one with the 3 wild horses that i got for christmas last year from the richardsons. there are 3 new ones i saw online that i want to get, a lion & lioness, a panda with bamboo and an african animal collage thing. hopefully ill finish the horses this week (i worked on it all day yesterday and have a good start) but i have 2 library books i need to finish by the 23rd, i think i am taking on too many hobbies, i need to just focus on one at a time
i will try to keep this thing updated more often, i am not going to promise it will happen, but i will try ;)
