Houses, Puppies & Painting

So...since the last post we've moved into a house and have a new family member.



This is Homer Higgins, our puppy! :) I have better photos of him, but our external hard drive isn't turning on. arg. Homer aka Homes, Homeboy, Little Boy & Homey (as in Homey don't play that...) ranges around the house lazily all day and is the most relaxed dog in the world. not. okay, so he is fairly mellow for a puppy, but he does enjoy is wrestling time with Conrad! :) In fact, if her hears a person whistle on tv or in a movie he immediately runs to the back door looking for Conrad. it's uber cute. :) anywho, Homes is a black lab-retriever mix. we found him at the Johnson County Humane Shelter. he was the only one, besides the great dane husky mix puppy, that was just chillin in his cage when we visited. the rest of the dogs were going psycho and he was just sitting there staring at us saying "take me home!!!" so we obliged. :)

Our house rocks. :) I'm still trying to unpack here and there. the painting/fixing things up part is never ending! :) it's so true. we have about half an acre which is WONDERFUL! :) perfect for having the middle school kids over to play in the backyard and letting puppies run amok! :)

anywho, i have to get going - i'll try and post a little more regularly - but i can't promise anything! :)

"Leaving On A Jet Plane..."

Conrad leaves me tomorrow night!?! No, not leaves leaves me, but he's traveling with work for the first time. I think I'm going to stay with Momma and Daddy while he's gone. And yes, I know, that makes me sound like I'm two. :)

So. I think you all need to know about Conrad's newest obsession. Viva Pinata. That's right. He's playing the only Xbox game that I can play with a zeal that will not die! Twice this week I've trudged to bed around 10:30, leaving him pounding buttons in the living room. When does he join me in the bedroom you might ask? 2 AM. That's right. He's planting a fake garden to attract and then breed various kinds of pinatas. Oh if you only knew how child-like and hilarious this game to be you too would laugh until you peed your pants. :)

So. Next time you see him - ask him how his Flutterscotch breeding is going! :)
