We have a cat!

You would think that our home was filled with plenty of animals with two dogs and two guinea pigs, but there was something still missing from our family...a cat.  One of Travis's coworkers had a cat that took residence in their garage last winter.  They already had a cat and a dog and thought they would like to find a nice home for the cat.

That is where we come in.  I had been looking at possibly adopting a cat, but since this cat showed up and was free, we thought we would give cat ownership a try.  We are glad that we did.  After we brought Ellie home, she was a bit unsure about our dogs.  The dogs were good and didn't chase her, but every time they got near her she hissed at them.  After she figured out that they weren't going to hurt, she was feeling comfortable enough to come out more and not hide.

Now, she loves to play with Shadow at times and rubs up against both of them trying to get their attention.  She is a good addition to our family.

Cody's first bus ride to school.

On Friday I did not have to work so it was Cody's first day to ride the bus to school. He gets to ride the bus home with Connor. Things went great, and he enjoyed riding the bus. It was fun to ride home with his brother. I am so proud of them!

First Day of School 2018

School started a week earlier this year which was a bit of a change.  We survived the first week and things went smoothly.  Of course as a  mom I always wants a first day of school picture.  Connor isn't especially thrilled to have his picture taken, but did pose for a quick one.  Of course his smile is a bit cheesy because he wasn't happy about the photo, but I guess I at least got one.  I am proud of my boys and am so blessed.  With the first week of school already came the reality of ordering a cap and gown for Connor's graduation.  I am going to enjoy every moment of this year.  Cody's birthday is coming in two days and he will be 14!  Again, how can this be??  They are turning into such nice young men.  That is my goal.  Raise them to be good people, to be kind, caring and have manners and of course who respect.  I think we are ready for the 2nd week of school.

Uh oh!

Well, I was hoping this day wouldn't come this early, but today I received a call from school. Mr. Goetz, the school administrator, told me that he had Cody in his office along with another boy from Cody's class. Apparently, Cody's teacher asked Mr. Goetz to talk to the boys regarding their behavior. They had been shoving and hitting each other so the teacher decided they should be taken aside to make sure they know the rules. We will see what Cody's take is on this when we talk to him about it this evening...stay tuned.
