Pic Update

Better late than never. Here are some puppy pics and shower pics. Baby pics will be the next posted!

Craziness update

We found a place to live yesterday, right down town Monticello. BTW, yes Tom, there is a themepark nearby. The town reminds me a lot of Port Clinton actually, there are two lakes, a river and lots of waterfront areas. Tourism is one of their biggest industries.

Anyway, we are going to rent a house for a year. It's kinda very tiny, but there is a basement and garage with a lot of storage. We started collecting boxes, and I have one box officially packed! Only 200 more to go!

ODell worked his first day at the new job today and has now been finger printed and drug tested. Next project is to fill out all his paperwork and get me through my final projects for the summer classes I'm taking.

Things to Do When you are 8-9 mos pregnant

#1....MOVE! Yes, that's right and that's our current goal :-) Today ODell had a second interview for a job and was offered the position on the spot. He will now be a 6th grade Special Ed teacher in the Logansport Community Schools. Needless to say we are VERY excited. However, we are now frantically looking for a place to live that is 1/2 way between our schools. Our schools will be about an hour apart, so we're looking in Monticello, IN (pronounced "sell-o", not cello like the instrument) We'll keep you posted on our progress. ((BTW, did I mention that school starts in like 3 weeks? 8/11 for teachers!))

I know it's been AGES since I made a post, so here is the latest.... School has been out for a little bit and we made one trip to Ohio to visit my parents. Next week we are planning another trip. While we are there, my cousin Darcie is planning a baby shower for Little Boo! ( We have registered at Target and ToysRUs/BabiesRUs. )

Speaking of Little Boo, he seems to be growing like a weed. I now feel his kicking on a daily basis. He is almost kicking hard enough for ODell to feel him from the outside. I've felt him on the outside just a couple of times, but ODell was not close enough to feel it while it was happening.

Our other Little Pooper is also growing quite quickly. She is a real sweetheart most of the time and now responds to her name. Potty training is going pretty well with only a few small accidents each week. She is learning "sit" and "come" and always does better when treats are involved. She still has terrible separation anxiety. Any suggestions?

Our First Little Pooper

No, the baby didn't come early. Amen to that! Rather we got a puppy. Her name is Tessa, which is short for Brutesa. Of course that's the female version of Brutus, as in Buckeye! The first two days she cried constantly as she is only 6 weeks old. However, each day (today is day 4) she has gotten a little better. Today, she learned to climb our outside step and jump off the couch. It's really cute when she falls in a heap in the grass, but she is learning to walk in grass as well. She's such a cuddler. And yes, we cheer loudly and praise her with hugs when she poops outside! Too much fun. Everyone asks either 1) are we crazy or 2) are we getting practice for Little Boo. Probably yes to both.

PS: the cats are 5 times her size and very scared of her still.

More to come later!
