Hi Everyone,
I have not blogged for awhile. Life has been busy. How do our lives get that way?
School is out and we are entering our second week of summer vacation. I am looking forward to spending some time relaxing with the kids and just enjoying our summer. We don't have any huge plans but that's okay, just as long as we can stay cool. The temperatures have already hit 115 - 120 degrees. Hot, hot, hot!!!!!
We adopted a new puppy from the local Animal Shelter last week. He is a little 3 month old Cocker Spaniel mix we are told. He is white with cream markings so we have named him Butterscotch. Unfortunately, he has an upper respiratory infection which is not uncommon in dogs from shelters. He was neutered the day that he came home and I believe that it really compromised his little immune system. We had been visiting him for nearly a week before he came home and everything seemed fine with him until then. He is currently on antibiotics so I am hoping that will be all he needs as this infection has the potential to turn into Pneumonia. He is such a sweet little thing.
The kids came home with lots of great certificates and awards from their Awards and Promotions Ceremony at school. Savannah even received the Principals Award, which is quite an honor.
Grandpa Moran was here from Oregon for 10 days, which was a nice treat for all of us! Even Ladybug, our Greyhound/Whippet/Saluki mix loved him. It was nice because he was able to spend time getting to know the kids, and he even got to attend Savannah's ballet recital, and spend Father's Day with us. Hopefully we didn't wear him out too much! Even Kevin's Aunt Bridget (Grandpa's sister) was here for the weekend. We loved spending a few days with her also!
My website is in the process of getting a new face lift. I like the new look and hope to add some new jewelry as time permits throughout the summer. I have been working on some hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry.
Here are a few happening's here at our house:
*Landon loses his second top tooth.
