Okay. He's pulling a Tanner. | ||
| Oddjob was 8 pounds & change when we got him on December 19. He is now 15 pounds, three weeks later. OMG. Tanner was 11 pounds when we got him and grew about a pound per day until he maxed out at 120. Could this guy be ANY CUTER? He is really good, except for the psycho outburts that happen a few times a day. | |||

The Dog Lover | ||
| Reagan was the one who REALLY asked for the dog forever, and he is the one who spends the most time with him. He'll be the biggest animal lover in the family, no doubt. All day long, he is snuggling with the puppy and yelling, "Mommy, take a picture!" |  |

We are frozen. Solid. | ||
On Sunday there was snow on the forecast, but it didn't snow here. My in-laws had flurries! I got up several times in the night to check, hoping my kids could have a fun experience like I did in 1977. I got to make a snowman and make little snowballs, and school was cancelled (although it was mostly melted by the time we got there). This is our little fountain--the kids were surprised when I set my coffee right down on the frozen water. It has been 25 degrees nearly every morning the last two weeks. We're getting our roof replaced (notsofun) and it has been too icy several days for the guys to work. The frost looked like snow on the yards here on the coldest morning. |

Riley's Day Out | ||
| On lots of my Judy days, I try to take one of the kids at a time with me. I love my relationship with Tal because of the one-on-one time we had together, and I like to spend that time with each of the kids. So Riley had his week last week, and we ended up traipsing through outdoor stores, poor kid. This was fun, though. I love this sample pool at OutdoorNation because it has our blue pebble/tan marble combo. Love it! Riley was saying "Cheers!" there. | |||

Around the House | ||
We had new friends over on Saturday--the pool concrete was finished and George's family came to see it. The kids came over and we had a blast with them. It was fun to see the kids squeeze into the swing here instead of knocking each other off. Love seeing Riley so into his homework! |

It's always a circus around here | ||
So we had a chance to go to the circus with the Blairs last week. It was really fun, especially the pre-event event. Steve always seems to find interesting things to invite us to! The kids absolutely adore the Blair kids--they were still talking about the "other Travis" this morning. I hadn't been to the circus since I was a Brownie, at the old Curtis Hixon Hall (remember that, anyone?), and it was pretty awful. I think there was an indigent there who took all the money from one of our troop members and there was a lot of crying. The circus was TONS better this time, and really a lot more entertaining than I expected. The kids loved the motorcycles in the cage, and I liked the human pretzel people. Camden went to Potter & Gamma's for the evening. He had a BLAST being the center of attention. They went out to dinner and he ordered coffee :). |
