It has been forever and a day since we've updated the blog. I guess we were just caught up in the all the summer fun. (okay, I was simply too lazy.) Gracie has had a great summer. Hard to believe that she is almost nine months old. She has had to deal with lots of changes this summer. Ben has a full time, permanent scientist job now. So the days of the stay-at-home dog dad are over. However, I have been lucky enough to spend lots of time with her this summer. I am interviewing tomorrow of a job at the University of Northern Colorado that will actually give me summers off. It is all sounding very good at this point in my life. Working only 10 months out of the year is hard to pass up. Grace loves Fort Collins. Then again, why wouldn't she ... it was recently voted the best place to live in the United States. It is the first place that I have lived where they encourage you to bring your dog into Block Buster Video. They are also putting a pond at the Dog Park.... Grace and her friends can hardly wait! The other big news is that I am going to be an Aunt again.... Yes Boden is going to be a big brother. Candye is due sometime in March. As I have said before, we love OTHER PEOPLES KIDS! :) We took Boden to his very first Rennaissance Festival over the weekend. He loved it ... was a little freaked out by the costumes and he eventually got comfortable. The jugglers were his favorite. Wow, for such an exciting summer... I can't for the life of me think of any other events worth mentioning. Oh wait! There was of course our one year anniversary. We actually survived the first year of marriage. It has been an adventure and I am definately looking forward to what is yet to come. I have rambled far too long... A picture is worth a thousand words ... So here ya go!
So who is the adorabl
e kitten? She was our foster child for a couple weeks. As most of you know I am allergic to the little fur balls, but we found her a fabulous new home. We called her punky while she was with us, and her new official name is Annie, as in little orphan Annie. She seems very happy in her new home. Gracie tolertated her well enough and I don't think she was too heartbroken to see her go.
