Miss Molly

Back before Caleb was born, we decided it was best to give our 3 dogs away to homes that would be able to spend more time with them. Our Molly went to a family that lives two blocks away from us.

Well, today, as I was checking the mail at the end of our road before heading into town, Molly ran across the road right in front of me and headed toward our house! I couldn't believe it! Imagine how hard it is always wondering if your dog is happy in her new home which just so happens to be right down the road! Many a time I have held myself back from driving by just to get a glimpse of her!

Anyway, I jumped out of the car and called to her...she stopped abruptly and came running back to me! Still in shock, I knelt down and started petting her, wondering what I should do. She had no collar on and there was a little bloody spot on her foot. I frantically called Jeffrey, who of course didn't answer because he was working. Then I tried my dad, who was working with Jeffrey. No answer! Tried Jeffrey again...continued to think how crazy this was! Finally, I called my mom and asked her what I should do. She said she didn't know but apparently we were all in a phone triangle talking to each other, or in my case, just trying to get through!!! As we were talking, I looked down at Molly as she proceeded to walk over to a mailbox, hike her leg and use the bathroom! I thought to myself, "Wait, that's not right!"

Turns out, Molly wasn't really Molly but the spitting image of her with different parts!

When I finally did get in touch with Jeffrey, all he could do was laugh, and then ask, "Why didn't you check to begin with?" My feeble response was, "She, I mean HE looked EXACTLY like Molly!" Still, all I received was laughter!

Peaceful Zzzzzzzz's

Well, our little monkey did it again! He is still amazing me and constantly making me wonder at the powers of Baby!

Last night, for the very first time, when I put him down in his bed, he looked up at me, didn't make a peep and then ever so quietly rolled over on his tummy and went to sleep! Not a single noise or cry!

Granted, when I checked on him and saw that he was sleeping on his tummy, I got kind of freaked out because "they" always say to never put a baby on their tummy to sleep...but I wasn't going to chance rolling him back over!!! Yet there he slept, all snuggled up with his blankie and PEACEFUL! All on his own!

We were very proud parents last night! And at peace as well!!!

"Hey!"

I am continually amazed by the little man! If I say "hey" he just grins really big and squeals "Heeeeeey!" It's just extremely cute! So my day is now filled with lots of happy squeaks and squeals! There are just lots of sweet noises coming from our home these days! Makes me happy! Now we're just waiting for the day when we hear "Mama" or "Dada"!
