Puppy Love

She will grow into this bed. 
We have been known as a family to jump into to things, or should I say fall into things.  I like to think that we are not afraid of trying new things but sometimes I think it is just the opposite, but it is that fear that pushes us forward that fear of not moving forward that keeps us moving.  My husband is the main reason we do a lot of the random crazy things that go on here.  He is constantly trying to figure out how he is going to get him and little girl down to Kansas City so they can watch a Kansas City Sporting soccer game.  His latest bit of excitement that he has brought into the house is a puppy.  He was just as excited as my girl was about having a puppy in the house and I do believe his exact words were "Our family needs a dog" so we have a dog.  My boy wasn't so sure about the puppy and in fact he doesn't always want the little pup to be near him and when the pup insists on playing with my boy that little pup ends up hanging upside down everytime.  It has been a long time since we have had a pup in the house and in fact I forgot how they like to chew on my stuff.  We have even designated chew toys for her and she still seeks out our things.  Shoes, cords and socks.  Yes we have a puppy in the house and her name is Holli short for Hollister.

Exposed

Me and my man

I still find it very funny that I have a blog and I share stuff that I normally wouldn't share if I were talking to you face to face.  When I started this blog I had a lot of feelings that had been just sitting waiting to surface and be exposed for all to see.  So what is going on when I suddenly disappear from the blogging world for a while?  Well it is simple, I am trying some new things and searching for new opportunities.  I for some reason can't focus my attention to more than one thing.  I sometimes feel like my opportunities have all passed me by and I did not jump when I should have.  Things around me are moving and I feel like I might be moving to slow.  The world does not wait for those that have been stalled, it keeps moving and changing.  I am always trying to tell others you have to create your own opportunities.  This is so true.  Sometimes it might just be a matter of making one simple phone call, but you have to do it.  So I decided that it was time to do something and why not get back to exposing myself in the blogging world.  I have to say that even though I feel like I am not moving, my kids are.  They are growing and changing everyday that makes us so very proud.  My boy is trying very hard with everything he has to communicate with words.  My girl is becoming a teen and she is blossoming into a beautiful young girl.  The summer has provided us with change but a lot of the same, if that is possible.  School starts in about a month and I have failed to share our summer with you.  I will my friends catch you up but not today.  

My Brother
