Snow and Puppies

Wow, I can't believe it has been that long since my last post. Time seems to fly by without us noticing. So much has happened so here is the recap:

March 09 - Finally closed on our house here in Manassas, Va. We love it and the neighborhood.

April 09 - Celebrated Madi's 8th birthday at the Roller Rink. A great time was had by all.

May 09 - Still getting settled into the new house and starting some renovations (kitchen).

June 09 - Celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday at the all time kid hang out - Chuck E Cheese. He had to have his party there even though he is scared to death of Chuckie.

I started working part time at a hospital in Warrenton, Va.

July 09 - Still renovating the kitchen.

Aug 09 - Busy meeting neighbors and all the 19 kids on our cul-de-sac. The kids are having a ball.

Dan put in for a new position and got it. A lot of excitment.

Sept 09 - School starts for Madi. She loves her new teachers and friends. Ethan is adjusting very well to his new 5 day preschool.

Dan's parents come all the way from Montana for a month visit. They had a great time and are thinking of coming back in the spring.

Oct 09 - Dollie, our cavalier king charles, has three puppies.

Dan and I went to a B&B for our 14th anniversary. We toured Monticello and hiked up Crabtree Falls off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Madi was a geisha girl and Ethan was spiderman with muscles for halloween. They enjoyed trick or treating with all the kids on our street.

Nov 09 - I ended up having to work Thanksgiving so we celebrated the day after with my parents.

The puppies are growing.

Today we have had about 12 inches of snow so far and it is only noon. It has been snowing since 9pm last night. The kids said it was too cold to play but the puppies had a ball. This was their for time walking in the snow. They will be ready for their new homes next week. We are going to be sad to see them go.
