Our First Houseguest!


That's right. Our first houseguest is here. She's been here for a week already and we get to enjoy her company until this coming Monday. Here's a picture of her playing with the boys...



That's right! Ani is here! She is staying with us while the Starlings are visiting their family in California. The boys have been enjoying her visit. Every morning Zeke goes looking for her saying, "Dog. Dog. Dog." over and over until he finds her. Once he finds her and hits/pets/jumps over her he goes looking for Deacon. Yeah. It's all "See ya later, Mom, there's a DOG here." But it's been fun and I'm sure it'll be sad for the boys when she goes home.

And speaking of houseguests, we are ready to recieve...if anyone wants to come to Oklahoma, that is. Don't worry, we won't be insulted if you choose not to come see us here. If you do plan on coming there is something I must put out there. Our guest bed is set up in Deacon's room, which means that having guests in that room will mean the boys will have to share a room (which means less sleep for both of them). And due to the fact that I tend to get stressed out when we have guests for longer periods of time, and due to the fact that Josh does have a lot going on and tends to be a little on the stressed side with his course and grad school classes and all that, we are going to ask that if you do come to visit us and you do stay with us that you plan on staying with us for four days/three night (a long weekend worth's of time, if you will). Obviously you are more than welcome to come to Oklahoma and see us for as long as you want, you would just have to stay in a hotel any extra time you wanted to come for.

I do have a powerpoint presentation of our house, but I haven't figured out how to get it up on this site yet, so maybe in a day or two after I have some more time to work on it. (Anyone have any suggestions?) Otherwise, I'll just flickr the pictures like always and you can see them there. In the meantime, here are some pictures from breakfast the other morning...















And speaking of flickr, I added more pictures from our trip to NJ last month. I added the pictures from the time we spent with Josh's parents and the time we spent at my mom's. All that's left now is the day we went to my cousin Jon's and the day we spent visiting my dad and Karen at their Brick house (Brick, as in the town in NJ, not what the house is made of).

So, check those out, look out for the house pictures (hopefully via powerpoint show) and enjoy the month of October. I am looking forward to the cooler temperatures it will hopefully bring to Oklahoma, because seriously...I am getting pretty tired of shorts and tank tops. I'm ready to don some jeans!

Happy fall y'all!

Beth, So sorry you aren't getting any fall yet in OK. Thankfully, CO gets a good dose of all four seasons. About the visiting thing, Rick may have mentioned Oct., but he's not going to be attending some of the fall conferences this year, so I don't think we'll be coming before Christmas. We'll let you know when we know more. Thanks for your note. Its great to hear from you! Love, Paula

Glad Ani made the blog and that it wasn't about her destroying anything! Those puppy days are long behind us...
