Wow! Has it almost been a Month?????

I could try to come up with all sorts of excuses why I've not been on here for a month but I just made a declaration to quit excuses... So, may I post a picture instead?I've had my hands full ... need I say more? My lap, velcro, co-dependent doggie is adorable isn't he? Things sure are interesting around here with our animals. As I type kittie is sleeping at my feet.

Before you ask... yes, she is on a diet, but please don't tell her :)

Both "children" know the sound of a tuna can opening and come running from whatever sunny snoozing spot they have tucked themselves into. Today was no exception. As soon as the pop of the first cut into the can was heard it was all about who got to me first. Being the wonderful human I am I drain the tuna water into bowls to share. No wonder they are so very trained to run to me at the sound of the can opener (and various other sounds). Mmmm there may be some training knowledge to capitalize on here...

Christmas Day was wonderful and shared with friends. Lasagne & Stuffed Shells was on the menu. Attendees brought various other sumptuous goodies to share. Fun was had by all.

Ringing in New Years with friends & enjoying an evening of more goodies, what more could one ask for? As if we didn't get enough calories in the Christmas and pre-Christmas baking/eating frenzy! :) Shouts rang out while we played games and competed for prizes.

We've been staying busy on the mission trip fundraising trail. To the wonderful, generous and amazing donors.. THANK YOU can not even begin to express how much your donation has meant to us! It has been a lot of work raising the money but I am glad to post that we are almost there. The gap is closing between being left behind and getting on that plane. As the days count down we are getting more and more excited and cannot wait to see the kiddos!
