Hello

Well we made it through another week. Buster had his first doctor's visit and he only peed on their floor once while we were there. He got a shot and his nails trimmed. The doctor seemed very adamant about taking him to puppy classes for his chewing. He only tried to eat her a few times. Later that afternoon we went to town and Jason went to a Tailgate with his friends and I went and got Taylor and Tyler and we went to the Carle Tailgate. The kids had fun and got their faces painted. The had a lot of blow up things for the kids to play on. I took them back to their dad's at the start of the game and then went back and picked up four more kids that I was babysitting while their parents went to the game. I pretty much just had to take them home and put them to bed. The kids were all very tired. Today we tried to catch up on sleep. We will see how this week goes. We are having a little bit of a problem with Buster peeing and pooping in the house now. We take him outside and he will go out there but then come right in and do it inside also. We know his nose is working very well because when we take him outside he puts his head down and wants to follow whatever scent he can find. Hope everyone has a great week.

Hello Again

Our illnesses seem to be going away now. I had to take Tyler to the Doctor on Thursday because his ear started hurting really bad and then we had very gross drainage coming out by afternoon. He is now on an antibiotic and the pain seems to be gone. Friday we went grocery shopping so the kids could possibly eat weekend. On Saturday, I went to a wedding up by Chicago, with Jason's stepmom Debbie. The wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful. I had a lot of fun and she said she did too. We will see if she invites me to go with her to anymore events. Jason's dad couldn't go because he had to work so I went in his place. I think I had a lot more fun than he did. Isn't Harvest great=:0)
There is not a whole lot else going on here. Taylor is doing homework and Tyler is outside playing. I am ready for bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hello



Well we started this week off with a sick family. On Monday, Jason stayed home with the flu. On Tuesday, Jason and Tyler stayed home because Tyler had a fever and wasn't feeling well and Jason wasn't completely better. And today, Wednesday, Taylor and I are home because we are both ill. We just have the fever and are completely wiped out (At least I am). Neither of the kids have eaten very well since Sunday night. Hopefully we are on the road to recovery.

I am adding some new pictures of Buster. He is getting bigger and heavier. He can now climb our stairs by himself. Oh Goodie. He is quite the little chewer too. He is doing a lot better about his crate. He hardly whines or howls at all in it. Hope you all enjoy the pictures and have a great week.

Another week has gone by

Buster made it through his first week at our house. He is already getting bigger. He is starting to sleep a little longer at night. At one point he slept for 5 hours straight. I was so happy. We took him to work with us on Friday morning. He had to play all morning long. The kids would not leave him alone. He got to meet Uncle Trevor and Aunt Nicole. They were in town because they went to the Carrie Underwood Concert on Thursday night. Buster then came home and slept all afternoon. He is getting better about his crate. He cries just for a little bit. He is becoming a lot more playful now which I am not sure if I enjoy that so much. He thinks our hands, legs, pants, shoes, or anything that moves is a toy and he attacks. Gotta love that at 2 in the morning.
This week Taylor and Tyler had Dentist appointments and they went well. They are all doing well in school. This weekend we watched the Illini win and the Cubbies Lose. Maybe next year for all of you Cubbie Fans. On Sunday, I walked in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and I made it all the way through. It was only 3.1 miles but my body thought is was a lot longer after the walk. Thank you to all of you who donated for this special cause. I really appreciate it. I hope everyone had a great week. I will try to get more pictures of Buster on here so everyone can see how he is growing. Have a great Week.
