October 2013

Its been a few months since I've had the chance to blog or keep anything updated.  Work has been really busy with the guy that has been with me for 3 years broke his foot.  Good labor has been quite an issue

Marlowe has been developing socially so fast here lately. Her facial expressions while she talks can be humorous at times. She loves to sing a ton of songs that she learns in pre-school. This is going to be my last winter with her before she starts going to school all day, so I really need to make the most of it.   She says she loves preschool and really likes her teacher but doesn't really have a set friend.  Some days she says she plays by herself and other days she says she plays with someone we've never heard of.  Either way, she still so young and she doesn't need friends to make her happy.

Halloween should be fun.  Marlowe is dressing up as the Tooth Fairy and I plan on being Jack Frost per her request.  Which should be really easy for me.  Traci has made an awesome costume for her.  She really likes the Rise of the Guardians.   Can't wait for pictures 

 We've had a pretty exciting week.  This past weekend we went camping at Withrow Springs with the Flynts (JL and Dewayne), Bells, Donnells, and Kuharicks (Henry and George).  It was a really good time....so good that it was sad to leave the campground.  I would probably completely give up camping if it wasn't for Traci.  She's so organized, laid back, and innovative on these trips

Speaking of Traci, I can't believe we've been married now for 10 years this month.  No doubt the best and smartest thing I've ever done.  Heres to hopefully 50 more...at least.  Pretty amazing the impact she's had on my life.

Also this week, I saved 3 little puppies on the east side of Springdale. Someone had dumped the poor little guys right in the middle of the road.  Vet thinks they are 8-10 weeks old and part terrier and chihuahua.  We've found a home for one but the other 2 haven't been so lucky.  Marlowe has been awesome with them. Reading them stories, playing chase, playing good dog versus bad dog.  I've had 2 long serious talks with her about how we are going to send them to a new home (hopefully) or the pound in the next couple of days and she seems really good with it.  Says she won't be sad but we will see.  She has named the female PuffBall and the male Toto - From the Wizard of Oz
