Just when we think that things are slowing down, something else comes along and interrupts that plan! Spring has definitely arrived in Ohio. The budding trees are a beauty (although a beast to my allergies!), and the lush grass is as green as it can be.
Things have been pretty exciting over the last few weeks! You may remember that we brought home a kitten in the fall. We were told by the seller that it definitely was a female, but recently found that...it's a boy! You probably think we are either blind or completely ignorant, but quite honestly, we never had a reason or an opportunity to doubt it! Fortunately, his name (Sunshine) isn't gender specific!
This week we added another member to the "family". She (yes, we're sure!) is a 4-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and is working out well so far. The kids love her, and have spent lots of time walking "Teagan" in the last few days. We would like to change her name, but since she is 4, we're not sure how that would work out. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Greg and the boys have had a few opportunities to put their carpentry skills into use during the last few weeks. My parents bought a house to rehab, and have spent a considerable amount of time this month returning it to its former beauty. Eric has been here working, as well, and we are looking forward to the rest of his family joining him next week.
The countdown has begun...16 days are remaining in the 2008-2009 schoolyear! I can't believe it! The next few weeks will consist of 2 Mother/Daughter Banquets, a yard sale, Awards Program, Graduation, 2 graduation parties, field trip, school picnic, Peeler sales day, yearbook luncheon, daycare observation, and probably a few more things of which I am not yet aware! I'll miss my Juniors and Seniors as they are away for their trip to Branson, MO next week, but I know they're gonna have a blast!
That about wraps it up for now...hope the rest of you have a great week!

Steph - We just got a 4 year old dog from the shelter two weeks ago. She was abandoned, so no one knew her name. We took almost a week to name her (hadn't planned on getting a female, so didn't have a name) and after only several days of consistently calling her by name, she now answers to her new name.
When we were trying to come up with a name for her, I tried calling her lots of things just to see if she responded. She didn't. So we named her. All this to say, it may work to change your dog's name...ours is also 4 and now has a new name.
