Meet Molly

Well...I can't believe I'm posting this one. We have added a new member to our Pack. Molly is a 3 1/2 year old Jack Russell Terrier who happens to be camera shy. Long story short: Molly was staying at our neighbors until they could find a home for her because she was going to be put to sleep. The kids are always asking when we are going to get another dog and part of Jeff's bribery to help the kids adjust to the move to St. Louis was he would get a dog. Whatever!!! So, we have had Molly staying with us on a trial basis and so far, so good. She is housetrained, rarely barks and quite frankly is a lazy dog. Just wants to sit next to whomever is willing to sit and rub her belly. She has not lacked any attention since she has been here so I guess she is a keeper.

The Cuckoo's Nest

The kids were on spring break last week but because we went to Florida in February, we ended up staying home for the week. So, Maggie wanted to bird watch one of her class pets named Spike. Spike was a good bird... not too noisy and in her cage most of the time. She liked to be on our shoulder when we would get her out. Maggie and Jake enjoyed Spike but Natalie was not a fan. Here are some pictures of our friend for the week.

Be Careful What You Wish For...

We knew we were in for some snow... but... didn't realize we were going to end up with "Blizzard Conditions". I told someone I wish we would just get a good dumping of snow because so far, what we have had this winter hasn't really been much. Well, it started about 8 a.m. yesterday morning and went on through this afternoon. I think we've got a good foot of snow and with winds gusting up to 30 mph...some nice sized drifts as well. The kids had some fun playing out in it before it got dark and will have more fun tomorrow. Oh yeah... and the Florence Mall doesn't close for "Blizzard" type weather. GRRRR!!!!

Here we go.... Again!

In case you haven't heard... we will be moving yet again. The project Jeff is currently working on is with Folgers which recently got sold and is no longer a Procter and Gamble brand. Jeff not wanting to stay with Folgers and wanting to stay with P&G, has taken an offer in St. Louis, Missouri. The plant he will be at makes Cascade, Febreze, and Mr. Clean. Thankfully we don't have to be there until July so the kids will finish school here and have part of their summer spent here before we make the move. Needless to say, lots of mixed feelings right now especially for the older girls. And lots to get done around this house to get it ready to put on the market.
