New Puppy and Indiana

We had quite an exciting weekend. On friday we drove 3 hours to get our new puppy - Oliver. He is amazing! He is the best dog. So good natured and already starting to obey!! He just follows Copeland around and tugs at his shirt. It is the cutest thing. Anyway, since we had to drive 3 hours anyway, we though we might as well go on to Indiana. It was a very short trip, but at least we got to see our family. 

As soon as we got in on friday we went to eat at Fat Boys, and saturday we just hung out, but it's very hard to split time between two families.  It's very hectic when we are running back and forth to our parents' houses. Then sunday morning we got up and left!! Like I said - short trip!! 

Here are pictures of Copeland and his dog, and in his new Colts sweatshirt Nana (my mom) got for him.   We will be home for about a week over Thanksgiving so hopefully it won't be as crazy and we will actually get to see people! 

I'll give a puppy update later this week. 

Copeland had a blast with a dog in the car on the way back. It helped keep hi entertained! 

New Pictures

Here a few new pics of Copeland. It has been a little while since I posted any pictures. We get our dog next weekend, and we are getting family pictures taken in about 3 weeks so I'll get more up as soon as I can. We have play group again tomorrow, and we have been playing outside as much as we can while we have this beautiful weather! It's not going to be too long and we won't be able to get out, so we go for walks, go to the park, or just let Copeland run around in the back yard! That's all for now! :)

Not much going On

Well I received a picture of our new puppy. We don't get him till the 27th, but she sent a new pic that was taken last night. We are so excited, I just hope everything goes smoothly and Copeland and him get along and play nice with each other! :) 

Copeland and I are joining a play group. It's here on base on Thursdays. I'm a little bit nervous because it's not like it's with a group of friends like the one many of my friends and in back home. I love looking at those pictures and long to join you all someday! But for now, we will try this one. We are doing a program called Parents as Teachers, and all the families that are involved in it are invited to this play group. There is only one girl that I know, but maybe it will be an opportunity to meet knew people and make new friends. 

Not much has been going on the last week or so. We have just been hanging out and going for walks. I will try to get some new pics up soon. 

Hope everyone is having a good week!! 

What a weekend!

We had a busy weekend. Beau was off today and he was off friday so we had a great four day weekend with daddy being home. We had a yard sale on sat. (we did ok, not great) and then went out for pizza sat night with some friends. There is a new place in town that has real Chicago pizza!! It's so yummy. Makes us want to go back to Chi-town. Hopefully soon we'll get to visit again. 

Yesterday we worked in the nursery at church (2 yr. olds!) and Copeland was with us because we he was screaming in his class and they couldn't get him to calm down. We are not giving him his te' te' (aka paci) except for at night, and I guess he was a wreck - so they brought him to us and he hung out with the big kids!!   Today we went to the pool since it was the last day it's open :(   We had to enjoy one last summer day! Then we headed up to Independence. Beau has an aunt and uncle there (beau's dad's sister and her family).  We went to a fish fry and hung out. Copeland played and played with the little girls, one being his cousin, and of course the dog. He was so dirty by the time we left!  It's nice to go to family functions even if it's not our family. It was Beau's aunt's in-laws. But they except us like family. It helps since we don't have family out here and can't be with them on holidays like today. They are such a blessing and glad they are only an hour away. We don't get to see them that often, but it's nice to know they are there. 

Well that's our weekend - sorry I don't have any pictures... I forgot to grab the camera all weekend! 

Hope everyone has a good week and God bless!! :)
