What a day!

It has been a crazy day. It started out with a visit to the vet. One of our beagles, Gray-also known as the million dollar dog, has had a swollen eye since Friday. We tried benadryl but that didn't work. It started oozing this morning, so to the vet we went. On the way there I found a puppy. The most adorable chihuahua puppy I have ever seen. He was just wondering around the street in our neighborhood, so I picked him up and knocked on several doors with no luck. So I took him with us to the vet. We get there and unload the two dogs and two kids. I'm tired already! They take the puppy, one of the techs was going to keep it. Whew! We don't need another dog. Now it's time for the vet to look at Gray. He has an abscess, most likely from a bite of some sort.(Which by the way, happened in November and has been "cooking" since then.) They decide to keep him so they can drain it and clean it up. So we leave to come home and take what is left of our nap. Fast forward to 12:30. The vet calls, they will keep Gray overnight it was worse than they thought. Basically he had an egg sized pocket of infection. GROSS! And can we say $$$$$$. This dog has been through more surgeries than I have!

Glade wakes up for lunch. Addison was still asleep. I almost get Glade into the highchair when the pest control guy rings the doorbell. Our front door is broken, so I have to open the garage. He came two weeks ago for ants in our bathroom and sprayed the yard, but they kept us on the schedule and he did it again. YEA! No bugs. I wake Addison up for lunch. She is not happy. She is running a temperature and just doesn't feel good. So, she gets motrin and goes back to bed. I call the dr to work us in...since she had a fever on Saturday as well. We go to the dr. There's nothing wrong, but he gave us an antibiotic because of the on again off again fever and her very yucky nose! She was pretty fussy this afternoon, but because of the dr. visit she didn't get an afternoon nap. She went to bed early and will hopefully(cross your fingers and say a prayer for us) sleep all night.
So today I went to the vet, the dr. and Sam's. I cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen, made birthday invitations, washed clothes and made time to update the blog! I'm going to bed!

Addison fell at preschool and got carpet burn on her nose.

This picture isn't that great, but you can see her scab a little.

Glade got himself trapped under the basket. By the time I got the camera he was getting out.

That's why it's blurry. I was trying to hurry.
Just a swingin'
Addison loves to spin
He looks so grown up

Weekend Project

We spent the weekend puting in new tile in our bathroom...well, Tim did most of it. I just made sure the babies were not in his way! He did a great job! It looks so much better than the gray tile with blue grout! I am glad that is gone. Now, maybe we can think about removing the gray tile with GREEN grout from our kitchen. That one will take more than a weekend and an assistant or two. So Dad, you wanna come help?



While daddy was busy working, Glade and Addison were busy too! Here are some pictures of the things they can do now. Mostly it is Glade getting into stuff and Addison supervising.

Fine, I'll do it myselfIt's all your fault

Ahh, this is my favorite part of the day

Into EVERYTHING!

Glade and Addison are into everything! Glade especially is constantly on the move and searching for things to get into. This morning he dumped a bag of pretzels on the floor. We really have to watch what we leave that is in his reach. He WILL get it. Addison is always right behind him. She usually gets trampled because by the time she catches up to Glade, he is on the move again and has to crawl over her. Here are some pictures from the last few days.

This is how Addison took her nap todayAddison playing with the strainer Glade got out of the cabinetGlade found a new place to play
Yep, I did it!

Look at us go!

Glade and Addison are on the move. They are going everywhere. They definitely keep me on my toes. We have had a busy week and it's only going to get busier in the next few weeks. We went to Abilene last Friday night. We got to watch my nephew play basketball. They had lots of fun playing with their cousins. We also celebrated my sister's birthday. Glade was really happy because a birthday always means cake and ice cream and when Pappy is around it means Glade gets to eat it too! Glade is really doing good eating big people food. He will eat anything you give him and he is now starting to eat anything he finds on the floor too. Today he snacked on some leaves from our rug! YUCK! Addison tried them, but spit them out. She is doing better with the big food. It still gags her, but she really wants it. She has started grunting when she crawls...it's so funny! She also has mastered the art of waving. Can you believe Glade and Addison are almost one? Where has the time gone?

Help Mom, I'm stuck! Addison crawled out of her pants!
