Visit From Grandma Em

My mom came out the second week of September for an entire week. It was sooo nice to have her here and sooo sad to see her go.

Grandma Em watched the girls so Jason could go hunting, we went on an overnight fishing/camping trip...we had picnics, went hiking, went shopping, ate lots of good food, got Ava's haircut (pictures of that event to come), etc, etc....

The girls just love their Grandma Em. Poor Grandma Em never got a break...

Ava would only let Grandma Em read to her, put her to bed, make her food, and on and on......

(however, I don't think she really minded). :)

Thanks Grandma Em for the visit!

We all miss you!!

Come back soon!! (please!) Husking corn. Going to the park. Weeeeeeeee!!!!

Loving the teeter-totter.

Cuddle, Snuggle.........

Odin

As all of you that read this blog already know, we got a new little puppy back in AUGUST. I know, I know...we got him back in August and I'm only blogging about him now. There's just no excuse for me!

Odin is a Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon. He's a sweet puppy...however, he is ALL puppy....

biting....scratching.....attacking small children...

Odin and I have a love/hate relationship. You see, he's a great little guy (no shedding, friendly, good bird dog for Jason), but sharp puppy teeth and 2 little girls don't mix so well. Ava and Annabelle love him, but it's difficult to leave them in a room without constant supervision or else someone is going to start screaming because he's biting them. Poor little guy, he's just trying to play! :) Oh, and the pooping in the house thing isn't so pleasant either.

Needless to say, I love him but I can't wait for the puppy phase to be over.

He looks like an old man. Like my mom said when she was out, "He's so ugly, he's cute!". Thanks, Mom! :)

Don't worry people. I'll post pictures of the girls soon....because, let's face it!..you're not on here to read about me or Jason or some dog. :)
