July 4th, 2009


Happy Independence Day everyone. Ashley, Brennen, Starla and I had the pleasure of being visited by Leigh Anne, Eric and Apollo. The dogs wrestled continuously for nearly 4 hours. They should sleep well tonight. Maybe that is a good thing in case there are fireworks in the area. At one point they were both chasing Malo, the black cat, and he bowed up on top of the counter so much he looked like a porcupine.
We had Sausage and German potato salad for dinner and then had a red, white and blue dessert of pound cake topped with strawberries, cool whip and blueberries. All the while participating in the American past-time of watching a James Bond movie. ;-) Leigh Anne was officially christened by Brennen as he pretended to be Old Faithful when she changed his diaper. It was also a celebration of sorts as we were celebrating Leigh Anne and Eric having their bid accepted on a house in South Austin. Yeah!!!
As you can tell in the picture, Brennen isn't too excited about his first 4th of July. He has been sleeping most of the day (not counting the peeing episode), which isn't a good thing, as he will probably be a "rock star" tonight and be awake from 2 - 4 in the morning partying.

Writing my name in the snow


Well... Much has happened in the last 12 days. I've been spit up on... I've been pooped on... but today we took it to a whole new dimension!

I was in the process of changing Brennen's diaper. It's a tricky process because if you're not fast enough, you get peed on. Well, I got caught without a diaper under his cute little tush when the golden fountain decided to erupt. I had a towel under him because of my previous experiences. So in the heat of the situation, I just directed it down toward the towel. Meanwhile, Stephen is sitting about 2 ft away watching the catastrophe take place laughing hysterically. So... as a woman I'll never be able to "write my name in the snow" but I have had the opportunity to direct the fountain where it didn't end up on me!
