This is while he was missing his two front teeth.

What are little boys made of?

Notice the head, shoulders and on the piano bench.

Just some pictures of little Becka. We took her in for shots and worming and she weighs 3 1/2 lbs at 4 months old.

Aunt Marge said she wanted to see some more pictures so I browsed my computer and found some that might be interesting. These are from the 70's and 80's.

We had a lovely Christmas Day dinner at Mom's house!

Mom was worried about it being too crowded and we did bump elbows somewhat but we all get along well with our neighbors so it was not that bad.

This is Great Grandpa with his great grandson.

They look like they are enjoying the day.

Almost looks like they tried to dress to match the kitchen.

She is still our favorite Mommy!

Aaawwwwwww........

Well, I have managed to simplify my life a little, I gave all the birds to LeAnne, my neice, and tonight I found someone to adopt Boogie, the little chihuahua that was peeing all over my house when he didn't have his diaper on. By tomorrow night I will be down to 3 pups left and that sure cuts down on the clean up time and effort. Hopefully those last 3 pups will be gone by the weekend.

Does any one besides me feel like the Christmas season is rushing by and there is no time to enjoy it? Terry ask me yesterday, " Is this what Christmas is supposed to be like?" We rushed home after church to stuff all the puppies in a cage and rush to the shop to meet a buyer. They took their time deciding but that was okay because they finally decided to take 2 instead of one. When they left we had to rush to Jasper to open presents with Terry's family. We rushed to WalMart to get dog food and some stuff for Terry's lunches this week and barely made it back in time to pick up the leftover pups at the shop, rush home to deposit the pups in the pen and rush out the door for church. It was our night to go caroling at the housing then back to church for a snack. We ate and left early to stop a Dad's so I could read my email. I was having trouble connecting at my house and this is a bad time for that when I have puppies advertised and customers wanting to email me. By the time we got home it felt like we had been gone for a week.

We got up at 8 this morning and I had to be to work at 9 so I just had a minute to drink my coffee and eat my donut holes, feed and water the dogs, clean out the puppy pen and kiss my husband goodbye at the door. He follows me out the driveway and we head to our seperate ends of town. I kinda like my job here at Bea's, I can just sit and do nothing most of the day and it's great. This was not my job of choice when I started here but it has turned out to be a lifesaver and not as bad a job as I thought.

So how about this weather? Some December, huh?

I took puppy pictures today of the puppies that will be for sale next week and just had to get on of little Becka too. She will be 4 months old on Christmas day and weighs just 2 1/2 lbs. Some of the puppies that are just 8 weeks old outweigh her by a whole pound!

I am at Bea's right now, looking for something to watch on TV. She has about 85 channels and I can't find a thing to watch. Maybe it could be because it is 10 minutes till 1 in the morning, you think? I had 2 cups of coffee for supper and they were not decaffinated. I have had a caffeine buzz for about 6 hours now. It's a wild ride too. I usually drink decaffinated coffee, I am not used to this!

The coyotes were just outside my window having a wild party, I thought I heard something on the TV but I muted it and I still heard it so I went to the back door to listen. I must have made too much noise because they quit and all is quiet now.

We sure do miss Sis while she is in Florida with Lois. She said she misses too, a little bit anyway. Lois said they might go somewhere and do something fun if she could just get them out of the pool long enough.

Today I went to Dad's to help him install his new printer and digital camera. That took us about 3 hours but we got it done. I think he will enjoy that camera if he can just remember all the steps to taking pictures and putting them on the computer. When I left there I had to go home and clean up 24 to 28 hours of puppy poop. For some reason I can't seem to get Terry to do that while I am gone. Go figure. The puppies were out of their little pen and into the big dog's pen and had been for a long time so it was a mess in there. When I got it cleaned up and locked them up in their pen again you would have thought I had locked them in prison. I was VERY loud in there until they wore them selves out and fell asleep. Ask Sarah, she called me during the melee and couldn't here herself think.

Well, it is after 1 in the morning now and I may be able to fall asleep now if I try real hard so I guess I'll give it a try.

Note to self: NEVER DRINK 2 CUPS OF COFFEE BEFORE BEDTIME AGAIN!!!!!!!
