Holy Moly

Well it has been over a year and a lot has happened.
For now just know the kids and I are living with my parents in Idaho. The kids are in school, and I am working part time.
I will start posting more of the family doings.

Jazzy our trial dog, originally uploaded by chauntelandreasen.

Cute as pie! Just happy to lay right down & let the world move around her.
The kids have found she is also a great pillow!

Jazz is a French Waterdog, Barbet, 2.5 years old and 60-ish pounds (she needs to lose a little chub from her belly).

We decided now is a good time for a dog. Things have settled in with the kids, George's new job is going very well and I would like a companion during the day.
The kids know that she is here for just a few days so we can decide if she is the right dog for us.
So far we are pleased! She is opening up to us, wagging her tail more and being more interactive with the kids. That is a good sign!

Off leash at the park a few blocks from the house she interacted well with other dogs and was very friendly with people. Yesterday she would completely ignore all that called her name, except for George. She immediately reacts to him with a wag of the tail & tongue lolling.

This morning she happily greeted the kids & I. She was happy to follow me around the house while getting ready for school. We walked the kids to school and then walked around the neighborhood a bit so I could really get a gauge on how she does on leash with distractions like cats & other dogs.
Overall she did very well. She will need a different collar to help keep her beside/behind me. Other than that I don't have much to complain about!

Aw, boys

We have a lot of nephews on George's side of the family. This is just a few of them hanging out in Ray & Wilson's room. Aren't the beds suspended from the ceiling with a bridge between them fantastic?
My suggestion, don't walk smack into the bridge, you will see stars.

Trevor in front, Wilson small and to the left, Tyler is on the floor, Mick, Jack & Ray are up on the bridge and Hunter is standing behind Trevor.

Ketty & Sadie

Sadie got to spend a lot of time Christmas Eve with her cousins. Ketty, 9 and Sadie, 11.
Sadie is wearing the vest that Ketty's family gave her and Ketty is wearing the hat that we gave her.

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas Eve with 2 of my sister-in-laws in Santa Ynez. It was a great day!
