Motorcycle Puppy

Popcorn has done it now. He has joined a motorcycle gang. I realized it this morning when I got up and he had on his offical uniform.

Flat Daddy

I came across this really neat website. You can submit a photo and get a free (plus shipping) cardboard cutout of your deployed family member. Here is a link that talks about the service and shows a few pictures of them.

Here is the website where you can go and order your flat daddy.

Brother

Lately, Popcorn and I have been working on how to act when brother gets here. Here is the brother that we are using.


I am trying to teach Popcorn that he is not allowed to get in anyone's lap that is holding brother. He has been doing okay with it. He really doesn't care if I am holding brother. He will just look and then go on about his business.
It really hurts his feelings when my dad is holding brother. He will lay out in the floor and act dead. Then when brother is gone, he will be fine and hop in my dad's lap. We obviously need to work a little more before October.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday! We love you!!!



My mom's sister moved into the house right behind my parent's 2 months ago. Their backyards connect. There is just one problem. There is a big ditch separating the 2 yards. So, my dad built a bridge to connect the yards for my mom for her birthday.
Now my mom and aunt can walk over and see each other. Wait a minute. If you know either one of them, you know that they aren't going to walk anywhere. So, my dad bought this for my mom.








Now, she is riding in style.

Update on Sheldon

I just wanted to let everyone know that Sheldon is okay. The blackhawk that went down in Iraq was not him or anyone from his batallion. Please keep the families of those soldiers that were killed in your prayers. I know that this is a hard time for them.

Thank you so much for the phone calls, texts, and emails concering Sheldon's safety. It really meant alot to me and I know that Sheldon will be so grateful that you are thinking of him.

Almost 34 Weeks

I do not think that my belly can get much bigger, but I have a feeling it will!

Popcorn

Popcorn has started sleeping with me at night. When we go to sleep, he sleeps on the foot of the bed or out to the side. My dad comes and gets him when he gets up and takes him outside. Then, Popcorn comes back to bed. Lately, he has been cuddling right next to me. Here is a picture that I took at 6 this morning. Popcorn came back to bed and got on my pillow. Then, he wiggled himself down into the covers. I have a feeling that this is not going to work out well when Sheldon comes home.
