Muddin' at Ward Lake

These kids were NASTY and having the time of their lives!! Jackie and Glenn came to Ward Lake Saturday of Mother's Day weekend and while were waiting on the rest of our crew to arrive Nicole, Georgia, Patrick and Bethany made a mud slide down the hill to the back yard at the cabin! They were disgusting! This was before we went riddin'. Needless to say when we got back from ridding they had to strip at the front door and go straight to the shower!

Our newest addition...

Here is Gerogia with our newest family member!! I had to wait a week until I posted any info, we had a tramatic Mother's Day with this little guy's brother. I wasn't looking for a puppy but there was a Tradewinds at Mama's house and I was flipping through it the Friday before Mother's Day. There was the ad for a Pembroke Welsh Corgi!(with a CHEAP price) So I called Nana and asked here what she thought, she said I had to talk to JD first! Well, I called the number in the ad and got all the info and said he would email me the pics! He had 2 males left. Also, he was located in Columbus. Perfect for us because Nana and Grumps happened to be in West Point for the weekend!! Georgia and had our plan worked out to talk to JD and she did so good executing it perfectly!! JD agreed and Georgia convinced Grumps to pick up her puppy before he came home on Sunday. We went to Wal-Mart got all our new puppy stuff and couldn't wait for him to get home. Georgia was absolutely ecstatic! Nana and Grumps show up with our puppy and he is so sweet and precious. I left shortly after and left G and puppy with JD. Georgia was having a great time showing him around and playing with him. When I got home he was in the kennel and everyone was napping, a little later Georgia brings him to me and says there is blood on his mouth. I told her oh he is fine! She took him to JD and he comes back to the bedroom, where I was getting my Mother's Day nap, and asked what we did to the puppy! He was unconscious and barely breathing!! My brother stays with Georgia and JD and fly to town calling Dr. Grant the whole way but before we made it to town he quit breathing. I didn't know how we were fixing to break this to Georgia. We got home and as soon as I walked in G is standing there, asked where her puppy was. My heart broke in a million pieces for my sweet angel! I told her he went to Heaven and she immediately fell to pieces! We went to the back yard and buried our puppy and put roses on his grave and Magnolia blooms, it was so sad. After all that we lay down and I am trying to calm her down, she confesses she dropped him on the concrete under the carport, she thinks it is all her fault and she killed him. I reassured her she didn't do it and everything was going to be ok. JD is listening to this on the baby monitor in the kitchen. Before this we had no idea what might have happened to him. We know this surely was not good for the puppy but we also think he may have had an allergic reaction to the worm medicine he got before we got him. We don't know exactly. SOOO you guessed it we got the male that was left! We met the owner in Starkville on Wednesday, G had no idea she thought we were just going to see Blair and he new baby(I will post pics later). She was absolutely speachless!! It was so much fun to surprise with such a great gift!! He was the runt but he is adjusted well and got a great little attitude! Of course we had drama with him as well! Never a dull moment anymore. Thursday we were leaving Nana's and I was talking to her and didn't realize G had walked out the door with puppy in hand and yes she dropped this one too!! Nana said she didn't think there was any reason to rush to town he was just limp, eyes rolled back in his head, but he was breathing ok. So I fly to town again and praying the whole way to save this puppy plus my gas light had been on for probably 10 miles already and here I was going 100 to town I just knew I wasn't going to make it! Dr. Grant checked him out and said he was ok just probably had a concusion and all we could do was put and ice pack on it and see what happened! We are doing great and Georgia has been threatened with an inch of her life not to pick up the puppy! Both puppies got the name Otis!

2 Month Check Up

Our check up went well today!! Caroline now weighs 10lbs 6ozs and is 23 1/2 inches long. Dr. Well's was very pleased with her progress and says she is very strong and independent! She even showed Dr. Well's how she can roll over! Bless her heart when she got her shots she was asleep and she had to get woken up with a needle being stuck in her leg! She did really good though, as soon as they were through sticking her she quit crying! She also had to take some kind of drops and she sucked those down! I have another druggie on my hands, she has loved taking her Tylenol every 4 hours! Georgia had her first t-ball game last night and they were so funny! Everyone had a GREAT time and lots of fun!!

We Were 8 Weeks Monday!!

I am 8 weeks old!! Don't I have a beautiful smile!!! Can you see the piglet?!

Georgia being silly at Nana's. So happy to finally be able to put on her swimming suit and play in any type of water, even the nastiest of nastiest!!

This picture will be treasured forever because of the story behind it!! Sweet, innocent Caroline was being so good taking a nap in her carseat on top of the dryer when our devilish big sister decided to find a paint can, stand on it to reach her baby sis and decorate her with Easter stickers! Sweet angel slept through the whole ordeal and never knew she had been decorated like an Easter egg!

Hope you all enjoy the catch up blogging!! We have been so busy and just can't find the time to post as often as I should! Keep me in your prayers next week, Caroline gets her shots on Tuesday! I am not looking forward to that at all! We'll keep you posted on how we do. I am sure she will do better than me!!

Easter Pics!

Caroline's first Easter!

Daddy's little girl on Easter morning!

Every year the cousins go to Nana's to die Easter eggs, here is Caroline for her first Easter egg dying!

Georgia got all in to it this year and even wore her apron!!

See What We Can Do!

Just wanted you to see how strong Caroline is getting!! She is growing so fast. Georgia is learning the mean life lesson of having a sibling! Unfortunately it is hitting us hard! She is having to learn to share Mama and Daddy along with Grumps and Nana. Not too sure about the whole sister thing anymore. She is still sweet to her and a big help but she is acting out and fighting for attention. Pray it gets better fast or JD is going to have one less daughter!

Aren't we CUTE!! My big helper!

4 Weeks!

Well, we have made it a month! It is so hard to believe she has been here that long. She has changed so much. She is drinking 4 ounces at a time and on a 4 hour schedule. She LOVES her swing. I know its not good to let them sleep there all the time but I get so much done when she is swinging!! Georgia is doing good with her. Definitely have times of jealousy!

In the past 2 weeks we made our first trip to Ward Lake! She slept in the recliner the whole time!

2 Week Check Up

All of Daddy's girls!

It is so hard to believe that on Monday Caroline was 2 weeks old!! We went to Dr. Well's yesterday and she has grown so much since we came home. She has grown an inch and gained 51/2 ounces! Georgia has been so good with her and loves being a big sister. She gets a little overbearing at times but we are doing good for the most part! Hope you enjoy some pics from the past 2 weeks!

2 WEEKS OLD!

Just hanging out!

After our first bath, scared me to death, I forgot how slippery they get!

Caroline O'Neil Dulaney

The BEST big sister in the world!

Monday, March 2, 2009 at 1:28 pm Caroline O'Neil Dulaney made her debut! She weighed 8lbs 6ozs and is 20 inches long. She has a head full of red hair and is absolutely the most beautiful little miracle. Her sister is so excited she is finally here! We are so thankful for being so blessed.

Thanks so much to our friend Stacey for being there and taking these wonderful pictures. We love all of them!

It Snowed!!!

Thanks to Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Margaret every little K3 person from Lee was thrilled this morning!! They have been talking about snow and it finally got here! Unfortunately we don't have "snow" clothes and that was a BIG issue!! So we settled with blue jeans and boots so we wouldn't miss the snow! Georgia wouldn't even eat breakfast before she went out. She comes in to warm her hands and then back out she goes!
