Well, what is most needed in your life when you have three kids, one 4 month old puppy and live in a foreign country..... another puppy! That's right the boys went to get their haircut, and came home looking good, but with a new puppy! They obviously did not go to Bliss- they are not in the market of beauty and selling dogs! The dog is an 8 week old Staffi(Stafford Terrier), it kind of looks like a staff infection(not the cutest)! Taylor has affectionately named him Tebow after our all time favorite football player, Tim Tebow! By the way, we will be up at 2am to watch the Gators kick butt! All games on ESPN play live and we are 8 hours ahead, so our football is on during the middle of the night.
Say a prayer, we will be lucky to survive the chaos that surrounds us!
Thank goodness for my 10 year old, without him the puppy would soon disappear! He feeds and does everything for the dogs, especially loves them. He said to me the other night, while holding the puppy, "Mom,I do not ever need medicine, just our dogs!" **There is nothing better than seeing a boy with his dog, and what a way to teach responsibility!
This last week has been a lazy one, not much going on and the weather has been dreary! News Years Eve was fun, we went out to dinner with friends, and then to an American family's to ring in the new year! We also did some sight seeing- Pat and I, along with the kids, went to Utienhege for the day. We heard there were alot of antique stores; we only found one, and what a find! The furniture is amazingly cheap, OMG-Caboose(fav in Shreveport) could not hold a candle to this place! They had everything from tables, desks, chairs, dining room pieces and everything in between. We left without anything,except some very bored kids! After our trip to Utienhege we headed back home and met some friends at a restaurant, Sacramento, overlooking the ocean!
I am so glad it is a new year, and time to start a new! My upcoming plans are to get organized-finish getting this place feeling like home! Work on my bedroom, add some pizazz, it is always the last to get spiffed up! I also have been reading some books, all by local authors! I am looking forward to what this new year brings us, so far the highlight has been a new puppy!(Help)
By the way, being in South Africa is a little easier due to technology! We have had Skype, you can talk to anyone in the the world face to face via the Internet, and now we have Vonage. Our Vonage phone has a LA number, but works off of our computer. So people can call us, and not have to worry about international rates, plus if you are in LA the calls are free! It's the little things(OK, big)in life!
