Nevada

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Well I figured it was my turn to make a post and let everybody know about our new addition. Nichole and I adopted a puppy this week from a kill shelter. So everyone meet Nevada, she is a 4 month old blue heeler puppy. We have been looking for another dog for Summit to play with as she is getting a little neglected as our attention has been with Heidi. So I was looking and found Nevada and we went up to Chipley, FL to see her and Nichole was hooked. Summit has adjusted to her after defining the boundaries and they have been playing. We have added pictures of her to the gallery.

Heidi has been getting bigger everyday and is giving us big smiles all the time now. Everyday is something new and she is a great joy to our life. My sister made a few new bows for her and this a picture is for my sister and is our little girl pretty? I guess I am a little biased being the dad.

And here is a new video for the grandparents. Hope everyone is well

2 month update and Family visits

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Hi everyone!

It has been a little while since we updated as we have had many things going on with the family. First Heidi is now 9 weeks old and had her 2 month Dr. appointment. She is 22 in long and 8lb 3 oz. So it puts her in the 10th percentile. Which is ok according to the Dr. as she is still growing well from where she was. The shots went well just a few tears and a lot of sleepy time. Here is her 2 month picture with the outfit from her Great Uncle Frank. She looks really cute.

The second happening was Heidi’s baby blessing. We had Jim and Patty and Matt and Traci as well as my parents Nick and Pam come. It was really neat to have the whole family here and most of them got to see her for the first time. She did really well and was awake for most of it.  It was a very special time and she got to use the blanket that her Great Grandma Caresia made for her she was so darling.

After the blessing we hung out on the beach and got some family pictures taken. They are in the gallery so you will have to look but we will put up the video of Heidi’s first excursion into the Ocean. She was not too sure about it but it was still fun.

We were really glad that everyone got to come for a visit and hope they will be back soon. We miss having our family close but we are really happy down here in Florida.

Hope all is going well and we will talk to you soon.

P.S. We were both really excited that CSU kicked CU’s butt the other night. Go Rams!
