Going on at my house.....

The puppy's name is Pocahoma (Poca for short). It is the name Softball Princess coach calls her - so basically the dog's name is a softball inside joke. It is a curb setter breed - a mix of chow and other critters - the black on its tongue and curled up tail give it away. Also incredibly laid back in temperament so far - it just wants to chew on every thing. Also the big dog - Licorice - hates it. We have decided it is just so hard to be a dog at our house - this one has simply moved from place to place napping most of the time. While we are gone (and at night) - it has a crate - but if we are home it has free rein of the house.

Now for MaggieGrace goodness - this pissed me off. I glued the paper I wanted over the heart and look what happened. The red off the heart bled through. Now I will have to regroup. It will be okay, I just have to figure out what to do. I'm thinking another layer of music will be the fix.


Now - College Girl had her last teenage birthday on Saturday. We all went to dinner at one of our favorite places. I cannot for the life of me get blogger to cooperate on these pictures - soory what you see is what you get.


Dessert - brownies and ice cream. The boy had steak - and in a vote of what we as a family call weird - he uses honey mustard dressing as steak sauce.

A seriously good shot of the sisters - Abby's hair is getting darker every trip to the salon. It is a gorgeous deep red this time.

Now for fun and games - I had to perform a miracle repair on the tiara. But Sam wore it gracefully.

The birthday girl had her turn too.

She's off this week to her first full week back in class. (PS - i really like this picture)

Hope you guys have a great monday. You know - I really do have a beautiful life.
