Holiday hussle and bussle

Wow where has the year gone?!  I can't believe that it is already a week before Christmas!  This month has flown by with Christmas parties, Cookie baking, Tree decorating and Christmas shopping.  I think that we are finally ready, now all we need to do it start the wrapping... Maybe that's what Wayne can do tomorrow while he is home with Cole... yea right! 
Cole has actually been doing very well with the tree and all its ornaments.  He has only take 1 ball off (repeatedly) but pretty much leaves the tree alone otherwise.

One of the best parts of the Holidays is getting together with friends and family in this cookie day tradition.

Cole also has a new passion in life.... Riding in the laundry cart around the house.  He will go over and climb on it and after I have tired myself from running around the house he will cry for more.  It is actually really funny to watch him.  His face lights up and he giggles as I fling the cart around in circles.  (FYI... safety regulations do require that he keeps his hands and feet in the cart at all times and holds on securely to the sides which he fully complies with)

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!

Almost a week...

It has been almost a week since I said Goodbye... Last Saturday was probably the second hardest day of my life so far, it was the day that I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Neon of 13 1/2 years. My mind was and has been flooded with so many memories since that day.  I got Neon through the Guide Dog program to raise as a seeing eye dog.  He was special because they had brought him in from NY so that he would become a breeder with the CA program.  I remember the day I received the news that my puppy was here and I was getting a golden!  I arrived at the puppy ceramony Dec. 21, 1997 and fell in love for the first time in my life!!! Neon was only 8 weeks old when I got him.  He went everywhere with me... movies, restaurants, college, etc.. until he was 18 months old at which time I had to return him to the program (and I thought I would never see him again).  I received a call from the school about 6 months later letting me know that they were releasing Neon from the program because of
