puppies

I thought I would post some pictures of the puppies. They are 6-weeks-old now and hopefully will be going to some new homes soon. We are keeping one and I don't think I got a picture of her. The puppies belong to Charlie's and Chere's (Chaz's parents) dog and her picture is also included. She brought us these lovely souvenirs from Indiana. The kids have given them some "temporary" names...at least for their favorite ones. Josh's favorite is the black one because he was born first and Josh got to see him first. He thought he was meowing like a kitten so he called him "Maui" (he was trying to say "meowy"). Zach's favorite is the brown and white puppy and he calls him Spot. The others don't really have names except for a group name of "little girls". We are keeping the runt. She's very tiny and has been affectionately dubbed "Little Bit". To keep Josh happy we are probably changing her name to Maui since we are not keeping his favorite. He seems content with that though.

Chaz's pharmacy will officially open June 16, 2008:)

We have had a busy summer so far...at least the boys have. Chaz hired one of the teenage boys from church to help out with mowing the lawn and other odd jobs...but he also gets to have the Josh and Zach help him to whatever extent they can. They really enjoy it when he comes.

We found out Josh's kindergarten schedule....afternoon track. I was really hoping for mornings so I could have Zach in a M-F preschool at the same time. I'm not sure what we'll do now since the preschool is only in the morning. They would never see each other:( I do have an option for Zach to go the preschool he went to last year but it's just 3 days a week and I was hoping for M-F. I will probably put him in the afternoon so that they can still see each other...they're good buddies.

Chaz's parents (who've been living with us for about a year now) have a dog that just had 6 puppies. We will be keeping one but the others will very soon be going to new homes. I will try to get pictures up soon. I have to get a battery for my camera....easier said than done apparently.

Things are still going well with the pregnancy. She is moving all the time although Chaz has yet to feel her kick. He will any day now though...I know it!

Josh is now taking piano lessons. He is doing very well and we actually found a teacher that will come to the home which is very convenient for us.
