Spring Break is almost over! Yea! Did I say that out loud?....

Cooper Estes has arrived!  Our latest addition to the family is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix.  Drove to Denver on St. Patty's day to get him.  All 1.5 pounds of sheer dog power in a itty bitty package.  Dr. Barb and I agreed that he was way younger than I was told, so we adjusted his birthdate by 2 weeks, from now on 2/9 will be officially his birthday.
Cooper's need to eat frequently through the night has made for extremely long days, but I've had help a couple of nights from Olivia.  She has really stepped up and just done a great job so that I could have a couple of nights where I get to sleep through the night uninterrupted.  He's now eating about every 4 - 5 hours but will wake me up for a potty break if he needs it.  Yes, he is doing a great job with puppy pad training.





Spring Break has been busy.  With the kids home and annoying each other and all the pets, its been long.  We had decided that since we were not traveling that we'd do something special with the kids.  So off to Brunswick we headed for laser tag, bowling, and arcade games.  Not to mention a fine dining experience that included nachos, hamburgers, pizza, salad and soft drinks.  Every kids dream come true.  We wanted to take the kiddo's to a movie at the $1 theater, but there just wasn't anything wonderful showing.  Maybe next weekend....

Got Olivia and Jolie in to see Dr. Andrews, our favorite Orthodontist.  Parker just got his braces off and Hunter has just received his braces.   We felt we needed more excitement in our lives so we took Olivia and Jolie in to get checked.  Sure enough they are going to need braces as well.  So... I'm calling tomorrow to set up their appts to begin.  Did that sound ominous enough?
