• The short version

  I know it's been forever since I blogged so I thought I'd catch everyone up with the short version of my life over the past 5 or 6 months.

  I started a new job last August...I LOVE IT!! Not all my clients, not every work day, but overall I love what I do. And I can't even begin to tell you how busy we are -- I think at least for the time being the tax refund checks are overriding the national recession.

  Brad is still working in Cloverdale, building an ethanol plant, and is home every night  YAY! He's had 2 on the job injuries this year...He heard a loud pop in his shoulder and has been in pain ever since, they just gave him a steriod injection to hurry the healing along...2 weeks after that someone working above him dropped a piece of angle iron -- amazingly it hit his foot, just behind the steel toe of his boot...He just got a full doctor's release yesterday. He started to get the new roof on the house just before he got hurt - hopefully he'll be up to finishing it soon....we'll see.

  The kittens that were so tiny in the last pics I posted are now as big as their mama. The sheep love to be petted and will eat as much grain as we'll let them. The dogs are funny as ever...I really hope Jax'n gets to the point that he stops running into walls, but I think that's a lost cause. Roxy reminds us every day that no matter how big she gets she really is still just a puppy...like she managed to get a box of RidX out and eat half of it....File this under things you might need someday...Hydrogen peroxide will make a dog empty its stomach ... just be prepared it's going to be a foamy mess. Don't worry, a few meals of boiled burger and rice and she's right back to chewing on anything she can get her mouth on.

  Oh I started teaching a craft class (technically the Ladies Sewing Circle) at our church and we're in the process of making baby blankets for all the expectant moms in the church (there are 4 right now and one that just delivered).

   I know that doesn't sound like a lot going on - but that's our life in a nutshell. I'm sure I've missed a lot things, probably even some important events....but I'll have to catch you up on all that later.
