It's Been Awhile

Sorry, I know it's been too long since I've updated. No good excuse, either, and I've probably forgotten every good story I should have.

Well, not all, I guess! We do have some news. Ben was asked to be in his Godmother Brittney's wedding next January. He will be a junior groomsman. Brittney said that they don't have a junior bridesmaid so Ben will be with the big guys. I'm not sure what that means, if he'll have a special job or escort a big girl. Either way he will be darling in his tux. I told him I will kiss all the freckles off his face. He is already wiping them off.

We have a new puppy. Zac. You know how Wils pretends he's a kitty? Zac is the puppy. The puppy chases the kitty and vice versa. They lick each other too. So far I've kept them away from each other's butts.

Zac is showing imagination in more ways than one. When we were at gramma's house a few weeks ago he got a 4 wheeler ride (very slowly), sitting in front of my on the 4 wheeler with my arm around his tummy. Gramma gave him his own personal 4 wheeler (no motor, little feeties have to do it) for his birthday. Well, he has been giving his dolls and teddy bear rides on his 4 wheeler just like we do on the big one. I don't remember the others pretending quite so well at that age, so we seem to have a good imagination at work.

Today I left Ana and Wil alone for a bit while Brian slept. On my way out I told Wil that Ana would be babysitting him. "Oh good," he said "we can play house!"

Dog story. I had to videotape myself giving a presentation for school. I was all dressed up to look professional and miraculously kid free. So I set up the videocamera with the living room behind me and taped 20 minutes of presentation. Later I went back to review it (good thing I did) and lo and behold, there is a dog dragging his ass on the carpet behind me. For a good 5 minutes. With an expression of bliss on his face.
