Hello!
My little girl is sitting in my lap playing with a toy and my son is next to me watching a cartoon. They have both been behaving this morning and kind to each other, this makes it a great day! I had to take Mattie to the doctor yesterday. She was losing her voice earlier in the day and when she woke up from her nap she was running a fever, complained of her throat hurting, and she looked sick out of her eyes. Her throat was red and swollen and she had a nasty cough. Anyhow, they think she has a viral infection. She seems to be feeling better this a.m. I must brag on her though. Mattie was such a good patient! They swabbed her throat and drew her blood and she never cried. She remained very calm and cooperative. She came home with a load of stickers. Everyone was so impressed that she was only 2 and they kept giving her stickers.
It's cooling off in the evenings now. Caden pulled his long johns out the other night. He found a hole in the leg and was very upset. He said "it's going to let all of my air out and I can't run fast if I lose all of my air!!"
Wesley had several things working as far as jobs go, but a company we both really like made him an offer. There was no interview, just a come listen to what we can offer you meeting. So, he is going to take it. We will be moving to Midland, TX. *sigh* I have mixed feelings about it. I guess I'm a little anxious because it's change. I really love my house and where it is situated, even though I can't stand this town. Midland doesn't really have anything like it that we can afford. This means we will be city slickers for a year or two or five. I'm very nervous about this. I like my space, privacy, and stars.
I'm not looking forward to the moving process. Packing, cleaning, packing, cleaning is not really a fun cycle.
In other news, we adopted a dog. I have always been a big big-dog person. I like yappy dogs but said I would have a yappy dog when I was really old. Well, that's what I get for saying that. We are the proud owners of a miniature schnauzer. His name was Zeus...but he doesn't look like a Zeus. I changed his name to Luke...it is close enough to Zeus that he comes when called. Luke Skybarker came from a lady who is disabled and couldn't take care of him. He is great with the kids, very mild mannered, potty trained, crate trained, and easily fits into our lifestyle. He does do this yappy thing when we go into public places. *sigh* I still can't believe I did that.
I better get off of here and get to packing/cleaning. Love to you all!

Congratulations on the job -- moving can be daunting, but you will find a place you like and settle in quickly!
Good luck with what lies ahead!
By the way, the smartest dog I've ever known was a Miniature Schnauzer named Godfrey.You picked a good breed to adopt.
Happy Mattie took the medical scene so well.
Great news on the job! Relocating is always a chore but you can look forward to meeting many new people. BTW, the CAF (Commemorative Air Force) headquarters are located there I think.
I love it when you post! I love Caden and Mattie stories, I can't get enough. I even like Luke Skybarker stories. We're cool with the Midland move...you've gotta do what you've gotta do. I think Wesley will be happy and it'll be convenient for your schooling and work
Good decision. Love Love Love You!
@slmret - Thank you! I hope so!
@Bricker59 - Godfrey! What a great name, LOL! I think they are good dogs for sure.
@DistantShipSmoke - Yes, I look forward to starting fresh. And yes, the CAF headquarters are there. We went to a show a few years back. It was pretty great to see the older planes. They also did reenactments which were very educational.
@shellisland - Here is a Mattie story: On the way to Hobbs, we passed a truck with a big round bale in the bed. Mattie looked and said "What that?" I said "It's hay, baby." She says "ohhh, hay-baby." Guess you had to be there, but it was really sweet. I love you!
@whit1980 - 'Hay-baby'! I love it! Now I'm going to call all hay I see, 'hay-baby'. So glad you shared it. Love You
Hope Mattie is all better now. Sorry you have to pack and clean. I hope you will like Midland. Why do I feel that I know something about that city? Was it in the news may be?
All the best to you.
Mattie is feeling better, thank you! I think we will like Midland. It seems full of opportunity for our little family. I'm not sure why it may have been in the news...hmm. I may have to Google it!
