Rescued....

from the jaws of death! Literally!

This little guy was snatched from the mouth of one of our little Pom-chis. Isabel let the dogs out and watched in "horror" as they chased this baby lizard around our deck. Roxy caught him and raced in the house, to eat him I assume. Isabel screamed at her and pulled him from her mouth! He seems to be in shock-I can't image why! But, Isabel carefully placed him in a lizard infested azalea in the front yard, hoping he would make it! Don't tell her, but I checked on him later and found him covered in ants under the shrub! YUCK! Oh, well. She tried.

And here is the culprit, Roxy, looking rather remorseful I might add!

Face Lift

Okay, so I got bored with my blog. I was checking on a blog I hadn't visited in a while and noticed that it had a new background. There was a nifty little link at the top of the blog that said "free backgrounds and more @ TheCutestBlogOnTheBlock.com, so I couldn't help taking a peek! Well, I got on that site and wouldn't you know it.........the next thing I know, I'm giving my blog a little face lift! It turned out to be very easy. The girls, or guys, over at The Cutest Blog On The Block had a step-by-step tutorial on how to change the background and BAM it was done! Of course, then I had to go in and move some things back where I had them and change the font colors because I didn't care for the pre-loaded ones, but blogger makes that easy too!

Well? What do you think? I haven't decided yet...but that's the best part! They had so many FREE backgrounds over there that I can change it again.....and again.......and again!

I think blogging may be addictive! Does anyone know a 12 step plan for this?

MISSING!

Two very cute, very sweet, boys with blonde curls, chubby cheeks and hands and bright blue eyes!
They got into a lot of mischief.....like when Noah got out of bed and sprinkled an entire bottle of baby powder all over everything in his room, including his brother, who was still in bed! But they were always helpful too....like when they gave each other haircuts or when they painted their sister's room for her!

They've been missing for a few years now and I'm starting to think they aren't coming back!

Has anybody seen these guys lately???

Parker and Noah '98

Now when I go looking for someone cute and helpful, I get this!

Parker's "excuuuuuse me" look

Noah's "Do what?" look

Okay, they are still cute and usually helpful, but they are full of pre-teen attitude and these guys are armed to the teeth!

Yes, those are knives and swords laid out on their bed. I don't know whether to feel safe or be terrified!

Based on these lunatic looks that come over them whenever they are talking about or looking at their extensive (for 11 year olds) weapons collection, I think I may have to go with feeling a little bit of CONCERNED TERROR! And their Dad thinks they are ready to start a gun collection!!??!!

Where have my little guys gone?

Apparently......they are not coming back.

But when I miss them a whole lot, I sneak into the other boys' room, you know, the big guys in the other pictures, and I snuggle with them, because sometimes they look and act a little like my little guys....late at night....when they are sound asleep....just a little!

Please Pray

I do not know this family, but now that I am home with Claire, I know how easily it could have been us going through something like this. Susannah is fighting for her life, while her parents try to get her home to America where she can get the medical help she desperately needs. Please use the link to visit this blog and pray for Susannah!

My two front teeth!

Another morning in the dentist and just look at my new smile. Claire has matching front teeth now and she says, "teef fixed"! Dr. Galloway bonded her chipped tooth to prevent an abscess or any pain because the chip was very near to the root of that tooth. Now, we are done with the dentist for a while. Hurray!
