Merry Christmas

We have new additons! Other then Ellen we have been joined by two more little girls Keita and Kora. Sweet little girls they are, they are a Christmas presant to our family. Yes sometimes I think "what was I thinking" getting a puppy let alone two with Ellen being so young but we so badly wanted to fill that gap that had been there.

So now our days consist of house training, feedings and chasing after one or two, both with things they shouldn't be chewing on such as a pair of my unmentionables today :blush:

Here is Miss Ellie at her photo shoot for 2 months old as you can see she is thrilled

The Power Of Working Outside The Home

I never realized how isolated I felt until now. I've been in a slump lately and my best guess is I miss my friends that I worked with. It gave me interaction with humans who have a greater vocab then 250 words and whose life consisted of more then coloring, video games and a nap.

Sure you can call someone on the phone but its just not the same as being face to face and enjoying their company as well as their conversation. Working outside the home provides so much more then just money to me and while when I was working there were days when I didn't want to go to work, when I got there 9 times out of 10 I was glad to be there and greeted by wonderful people(with some exceptions ;) )

Some people can stay home and love it I guess I'm not one of those people. Gotta run someone needs a diaper change.

Ahhh the joys of being home ;)

Wow

It's hard to believe that she is 6 weeks old tomorrow. Where has the time gone? I'm sure it passed somewhere in the haze of late night feedings and crying matches between her and I but I sure don't remember 6 whole weeks flying by. She is everything and more that I imagined and truly a blessing(when she is not screaming at 4 in the morning) no really she is such a blessing.

Recovery has been rough for me, so rough that I would have ran back to my docs for him to tie my tubes had I not done it while on the table having her. This recovery is not something I would wish on anyone but I'm surviving, what else can you do right?

The boys are doing well with her except they won't leave her alone, that's good right? At least they love her to pieces now!

Mike is doing well with her too, she loves to sit with him. If I can't get her calm all I have to do is hand her over and what ever problem she had was gone cause daddy is there. Grrrr, oh I mean I'm happy about that LOL.

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving we did and we are excited for Christmas! Off I go, its time to milk the cow ;)
