Fall is here

Dawgette & Puppy Getting ready for Halloween!

I was sent this picture from my FIL (Father in Law for those who don't know) the other day and I wanted to share it with you all. Dawgette is holding Puppy in her new Halloween dress after her busy photo shoot, for her first Halloween card. So now that summer has officially gone bye bye, and fall is now here we are starting to get the fall decorations out. The pumpkins and scare crows are out, along with leaf place mats and napkins. Soon the Halloween decorations will be out too.

Man, hard to believe that the year is 3/4 over. Where has all the time gone?

5 Months

Today Puppy turns 5 months old. Boy how the time has flown by. She is growing so fast and everyday she does something new. Lately she has started to recognize food, she is trying to sit up on her own, and she is just starting to roll over without any help. She always has a big smile on her face, well except for when she is hungry and wants a bottle.

So to my little princess, Happy 5 month birthday. Mommy and Daddy love you very much...

Thank You!

Gram, Mom, Puppy, and Me

I was sitting here tonight doing some email and computer stuff and kept thinking that I am forgetting to do something. Well here it is. I have been wanting to do this for a while now.

My Mom and Gram have done so much for me my entire life. They have both given of themselves without ever saying "what am I going to get out of it." They have come to my baseball games since I was an 9 year old Little Leaguer who thought one day he would take Billy North place in Center Field for the Giants. And my softball games today, so they can watch me relive just a little of my childhood dream . Or my High School Basketball games, eventhough I was not going to get much playing time. They have been my test subjects for the many errors in the kitchen growing up, and they never complained that the food they just had to force down tasted like shoe leather. They have both taught me many valuable lessons; family always comes first, treat others like you would want to be treated, and most people are good people.

So Mom, Gram. I know that I don't say it enough to you, but "Thank You!" You two are the best, and I love you both so very much. I just hope that I have been able to give you both back something the years. I know that Dawg-ette and Puppy love you and appreciate all that you do for us now.

We all love you, and Thank You!!!!!!!!!!
