Goodbye Sweet Dutchess.....
When does life slow down?? Does it ever?? I thought I would have so much time with Ian in school and seriously my calendar is so full...poor Jade she rarely has a day at home with just me. She is growing so fast...she is starting to crawl...ugh! I think she will be walking by next week...she is pulling up in her crib and on our coffee table...only to be taken down again and again by her mother! She is so much fun and has added so much to this family...but let me tell you...she wears me out...I think that is it...but maybe it is that I am up by 6:00 everymorning on don't sit down again until at least 9:00 p.m.
Ian is loving school and we are so happy. He has so many fun friends!! He is really enjoying his school and learning so much about not only school subjects ,but the Bible. We are amazing how much he knows already...those little brains just take in the info!! He is starting his Spanish again in January, he is starting basketball in January, and he is going to take piano lessons. I am making him do the bb thing...he wants to only do golf and tennis, but he can start that in the Spring.
I posted a photo of Amanda and Dutchess...their dog. She passed away this past week. She died naturally at my moms house right before the Bradley game...she had been sick for awhile...I had the pleasure of covering her up and wrapped her in bags to take to the funeral home...yep...the funeral home. You don't have to take them to the vet anymore the funeral home will take care of things...my mom now has her ashes at her house. I didn't want to be the one to tell my sister/Amanda, but of course I am sobbing and Amanda calls me..I am thinking she is calling about the dog...she isn't. She gets all upset wondering why I am crying and can't talk...oh..the drama around here. Anyway..Dutch is gone and she passed peacefully at the age of 12.
Amanda has picked her college!!! I can't say it yet until she verbally commits which I think she will do this weekend. Jeff is out of town and will be back tomorrow...that is it here...nothing...I got nothing...more.

Ian will be SO CUTE playing basketball and taking piano!! Very cute picture of Ian and Jade. Sorry about the dog-that is so sad. I am sure she had a great life!! Can't wait to hear what school Amanda chose!
I honestly don't think life does slow down. So glad that Ian is enjoying school...and I'm sure he will love basketball and piano. I am so sorry to hear about Dutchess. It is always so terribly emotional when someone loses a pet...I still remember when you called me in Engalnd to make sure we were doing okay after Payton passed away. ;o( Anxious to hear where Amanda will be going to school. Looking forward to seeing you soon...
