lots of stuff!

Ok, so I have lots of pics and several different things to tell y'all about. I guess this is kind of a catch up post.

The first thing is sad, but I would like to ask everyone to continue to pray for Tuesday's family. She passed away yesterday. I have cried over this, and I so feel for this family. The pain must be unimaginable. So, please, just pray for peace for them. Fortunately, they are believers, so they know where sweet Tuesday is.

Now, on to happier things. Remember that pic Tyrone took of me and Domino sleeping on the couch? Yeah, I thought I'd return the favor :) cute, huh?




And, poor Gabe. We ended up in the doctor's office with him yesterday, and he was started on some different meds. Poor thing, his asthma really doesn't give him a break and it's the pits for a boy like Gabe, who just wants to go, go, go! But, this was our first appt. with the kids' new pediatrician, and I have to say that Tyrone and I were both thoroughly impressed. This guy was awesome, he played with Gabe, he sat down and talked with us. He got to know us, he asked what church we went to. He detailed why he was giving Gabe the medicine he was. AND...he told us that if Gabe were to get worse over the weekend, we were to CALL HIM AT HOME! I have never been told that by a dr., ever! And, here's a pic of the ever happy Gabe, playing while doing a nebulizer treatment.



And, the boys went out to play in all of our snow today, and guess what K did? He went and got himself good and stuck in our little tree. We did free him....but not before we took a pic :)



Ok, so, today I was totally spoiled, in my opinion. I have to start by saying that a few weeks ago, our rat Oswald died. I know, I know. Not all of you are crazy about the rat thing. But he was ours. We loved him. We got him at Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri, before I was even pregnant with Shiloh. He moved to NY with us, down to GA, and then back up to NY. It was a loss, and it made me sad.

So, today we decided to head down to Watertown and acquire new rats. And, we did! They have not been named yet, but I am head over heels about these two little guys. They are so sweet, brothers, and they love each other, love being petted, and are very calm. I LIKE them.

Then, among other things, he took me to Borders and told me to go in and get the newest Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta, that I have wanting VERY badly. I am sooo excited to start it. I will dig in and no one may hear from me for a day or two until I finish it!!

I also was able to get a Bully Breed magazine that I had wanted, and some treats from the Rawhide Bar for Domino. Yeah, I know, I'm easy to please, lol. But, it was a good day! Oh, and Tyrone bought me red beans and rice from Popeyes....YUM!!

And, here are my new babies :) Oh, and I would like to point out that people may grow up, but that doesn't change who they are. Grandma and Grandpa Bailey, Aunt Cherri, Jeanie....are any of y'all surprised that I grew into an adult that would have pet rats?? :)


And, here's our silly "bully breed" watching the boys play outside



Here's Shiloh's outfit today....is it just me or is she suddenly looking very grown up??

Peek-a-boo with Mommy on the couch


And, Shiloh yesterday. Again with the looking so grown up! I did NOT okay this!!


Alright, now y'all are pretty much up to speed!
