SUGAR

MEET THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY.... SUGAR. SHE'S A 5 YEAR OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG. SHE USED TO BE MY AUNT JULIE'S, BUT MY AUNT JULIE WANTED TO KNOW IF WE WANTED HER, AND WE DID, BECAUSE WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED A BULLDOG. SHE'S BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY. SHE'S AN INSIDE DOG, SO THE GIRLS ARE REALLY LOVING THAT. OUR 2 LABS(OUTSIDE DOGS) ARE A LITTLE JEALOUS I THINK, BUT THEY'LL GET OVER IT HAHA. SHE'S A GOOD DOG, SLEEPS ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME, AND WHEN SHE'S AWAKE..SHE'S EITHER ROAMING AROUND THE HOUSE BEING A VACCUUM CLEANER(PICKING UP ALL THE CRUMBS, ETC.) OR JUST LAYING DOWN BEING LAZY. SHE'S SO CALM AND NEVER BITES AND GROWLS...SHE LETS THE GIRLS CRAWL ALL OVER HER AND TUG AT HER, AND THEY TRY TO GET ON HER BACK FOR A PIGGY BACK RIDE---BUT WE STOP THEM AS SOON AS WE SEE THEM DOING THAT. SUGAR WAS NAMED "SUGAR" BY MY COUSIN JEN, BECAUSE THE 3 MIDDLE LETTERS ARE "UGA" (GO DAWGS). WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE SUGAR IN OUR FAMILY AND WE HOPE TO HAVE HER FOR MANY YEARS. HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF HER :

Preschool

August 17,2010 was the start of a new journey in our life. Our sweet 4 year old, Tegan, started preschool. She's been soooo ready to go to school. She's so smart and wants to learn and enjoys learning and making new friends.WE put her in at a local church about a mile from our house. It's a very good program with some great teachers and staff. I am so happy for her that she is having such a good exzperience thus far. I know she will have a great year and will be ready for Kindergarten when the time comes next year. Where has all the time gone??? It just seems like yesterday I was in the hospital, in labor for over 15 hours before seeing the face of my sweet first born-- and now she's all grown up and going to school. I am so glad and blessed to be a stay at home mom to my girls so I can enjoy every little moment with them and not miss all their milestones.
