The dog we had for a couple of days.

I was on my way out to go somewhere when I ran into my neighbor who had this dog following him. As soon as the dog saw Avah they started to ply together. My neighbor asked if it was my dog, when I said no he said he would call around and see if it belong to on of our other neighbors. Me and Andy decided that since Avah was having so much fun playing with him we would watch him until we found the owners. He had a collar but no tag and he was filthy and hungry so we wondered if we would find the owners. but a couple of days later after I had gone to work and before Andy got home someone had gone into our backyard and got him. I still need to confirm with the neighbor that it was the owner that came and got him, but I can't think of any other reason anyone would want to go into our backyard. I was slightly sad to hear from Andy that he was gone, he was a very well behaved dog and he was very patient with Avah who liked to pick him up by his fur, but I'm glad he back with his owners(hopefully).

Updates!!!

So labor day weekend was my second attempt at selling my jewelry, and while I didn't do as well as I thought I would I still did about three times better than I did last year. Needless to say I'm encouraged enough to try again. I also learned alot from Lindsee(one of the girls I did the booth with.). We also "rented" our booth to a lady that wanted to sell her hair flowers, and to be honest she was annoying and lazy. All we charged her was a third of the booth money, but we should have charged for labor too. Saturday she dropped off her stuff left and then came back when it was time to close for the night. Lindsee had to keep track of her money and we both had to help the costumers. Of course she didn't leave any bags for us to use so we had to use our own(only when people asked, we didn't want any negative feelings from customers). And when she was there she had Lindsee set aside about a hundred dollars worth of her jewelery because she couldn't decide on a necklace, I only had to set aside about five dollars worth. She didn't help her costumers, all she would do is talked to Lindsee. She turn her chair so that her back was to me and Lindsee couldn't get around her, so for a little while I was taking money for both of them. Lindsee felt bad and told me that if I wanted to walk around and check stuff out she would watch my stuff for me. The other girl(I can't remember her name) left around five to "feed her family" and then showed up again when it was time to take everything down, about nine(apparently it takes a long time to feed the family a pizza that she called a half hour ahead on.) Other than that it went pretty good I made a bit of profit, and learned what I need to improve on. I'm encouraged enough to want to do one around Christmas.

Now for a Sarah update...Sarah just had her four month appointment the other day. She is five months now but her doctor was on holiday and the I forgot about it and had to set up another one. Any way she is 18lbs. and 26in. long. Her doctor said that she is the size of about an 8month old. He was also surprised to see that she has her first two teeth. So she is a big healthy giant who is all smiles and drool. She will also only laugh for Avah. I have tried being as silly as Avah to get Sarah to laugh but I guess I just can't do it right. I have a video of it on my phone and if I can get Andy to help me I'll post it so you can see how funny and adorable it is.

Now for an Avah update...Avah hasn't had a doctors appointment recently(not for the lack of trying, she was so upset when she found out the doctor was going to look at Sarah and not her.) but she is growing like a weed! Her talking improves everyday. she can now tell me what she wants as long as she isn't upset, which makes things easier. Most of the time she is an awesome big sister. she loves dogs right now, probably because she has seen alot lately. I love how polite she is most of the time. She is turning into such a cute kid.

Sarah pictures!

Sarah was so happy yesterday I just couldn't stop taking pictures of her.

She isn't as comfortable around the camera as Avah was at that age,

but I still got some good ones.

Oh how I love her cheeks! I always want to pinch or kiss them.

Isn't she so adorable?! I can't believe what cute kids I have!


This one is my favorite. Her smile is just so big. She is definitely one happy baby.

P.S. I cut my hair. I just couldn't handle how long it was. It is now just above my shoulders. I don't like the way it looks, but its nice not having to move my hair when I sit down so I don't pull it. I didn't donate it to locks of love. I should have but I forgot to say something to the girl cutting it. It was a lot of hair too, I didn't realize how much I was cutting off until I saw it on the floor.

funny story

The other day Sarah was spitting up a lot, and Andy kept using his socks to clean it up. He had gone through three pairs and I was always the one who picked them up off the floor. So when I had him feed Sarah I handed him a burp cloth and told him it was so he didn't have to use his socks again. His response was "what if I do." So to show my annoyance I said, "My plot to kill you will come increasingly closer." Finding it funny he asked, "Does it involve a cliff?" Being a little more annoyed with his answer I said, "No, but it involves socks!" I was not expecting the roar of laughter that followed. I mean he was laughing hard and loud, which just made me laugh. Andy found it so funny he submitted the story to Readers Digest. We are still waiting to hear if they are going to use it, and I am still plotting death by socks. I am sure I will post any developments with either situation.

Up to date pictures.

I couldn't get both girls to smile at the same time, and Sarah was really intrested in eating her hands, and Avah was nervouse about Sarah being on her lap. These were taken a couple days ago for no real reason other than they are just too cute for words. Just look at Sarahs chubby cheeks and Avahs beautiful brown eyes and tell me they are not adorable.

I have a bedroom and Sarah is rolling over!!!!!

Two very exciting things happened yesterday, first I finally saw Sarah roll over. She has been rolling over for almost a week now but until yesterday it was always when my back was turned. Second, carpet men installed the carpet for our bedroom. As soon as they were done Andy put up the blinds and curtains and we ( Yes, I helped) moved furniture in. Also, Avah has her very own big girl bed(not a toddler bed) and Sarah is finally in the crib. Now I am trying to organize everything, which is going to take another three years! Oh, the walls match the rest of the house and the carpet is green. It looks really good, Andy did an awesome job!

Sarah's 2 month Dr. appointment.

I have such a big baby! She is in the 96th percentile for weight(13lbs 3oz), she is off the charts for height(241/2 inches) and only in the 81st percentile in head circumference(40cm.). So in other words she is a big baby with a small head. She did not handle the shots well at all though. when we got home I had to walk around with her to try to calm her down enough to eat. I don't know if Avah was more scared or worried for her. They are so cute together sometimes. Anyway Sarah is a healthy, happy(when not getting shots) baby with the goofiest grins and most adorable baby talk. ( This isn't a recent picture, I was too lazy to upload her most recent pictures onto this computer. when I do I'll post them.)
