Bye bye Daisy!

Well today a nice family took Daisy, the puggle we tried to adopt, to live with them! We were disappointed that it didn't work out but know it's for the best! We're glad she has a good home now and Duchess is sleeping soundly trying to recover from the constant bugging! :) Duchess is probably relieved to be queen of the house once again!

Daisy Update

Well it looks like we may be puggle-less by this weekend...as sweet and cute as Daisy is, she has not been a good fit for our family. Since we have to keep her in a cage all day, by the time we get home she is WILD all night long...during the time when we just want to relax! She never tires out or gives Duchess a break, and she seems to be stressing us all out! We have talked to a couple who have another puggle with just as much energy, and they are coming to see her on Friday, and hopefully, make her part of their family. I think she would be a great dog for a family with a dog with as much energy as her, or if she was an "only dog", but she and Duchess are not meshing so well. (Duchess is really spoiled and used to being THE dog of the house!) So it looks like Duchess will be an "only child" until we have a real child! We're disappointed it didn't work out, but we think this is the best thing for our family right now! I am sure we will find her a great home to stay!

Our new puppy!

We got a new puppy this weekend! Her name is Daisy and she is a puggle, a cross between a pug and a beagle. She's very sweet and lovable, and very playful! Duchess has done well with her so far, but is still not quite sure about her...she tends to still want to play long after Duchess has tired out! That and her piercingly shrill bark have been troublesome for this family transition, but we're hoping to break her of those habits! The people we got her from gave us some numbers of others who called about her, in case we can't make it work, but we're hoping it does because she's so cute and sweet! Here are some pics of our new girl!

Mike's Job situation...

Today when Mike went to his in-service, he found out that his head coach got fired...meaning we weren't sure what was going to happen about Mike's job. After meeting with the Athletic Director Mike found out that since Coach McCone is leaving and they are getting a new head coach, more than likely the new coach will bring his own staff with him. So Crowley will honor Mike's contract through the end of they year, and then he will need to find another job if he wants to continue coaching....which if you know Mike, means he will be looking for another job. Luckily, it won't affect us right now, but it is a little scary to know that Mike will have to find another job before the next school year. We are just praying and trying to remember that the Lord has a plan for our lives, and he obviously is showing us that he has a better place in mind for Mike. We would appreciate all of your prayers as we try to find another teaching/coaching position for Mike!

Christen's Birthday weekend!

This weekend Mike and I went up to Lubbock to surprise Christen for her birthday. Ronnie and I worked so hard to surprise her and we got so close...until we were about 20 minutes outside of Lubbock! Then Ronnie handed Christen his phone, I texted him about directions....but she was so excited anyway and we had a great weekend! Here are some pics to recap our fun weekend!

This was us pretending to be surprised, even though we weren't really....LOL


This was us being really excited that we got Super Mario Bros. for the Wii! It was soooo fun! We were all 4 definitely addicted to this game!


Christen and me after we got our hair trimmed and highlighted!


Christen and me making mosaics at the Mud Room, a pottery painting place in Lubbock! So much fun!


Christen and I getting ready to go see "New Moon"! We loved it, the movie was so great!!


Eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel before we headed back home!

We had such a great weekend and we were so sad to have to come home! Sometimes I forget how much we miss those crazy Leidners, but we're so thankful for the time we do have together!

Cute Client Quote

This week, a little 7-year-old girl client asked if I could come to their house for Thanksgiving! When I said I couldn't because I would be with my family, she said, "I guess I understand that..." At least I know she likes me, right? :)
