Our Black Labs

We love our black labs, Guinness and Annie.
My husband had Guinness before we got married. She's eight years old now. She used to sleep in his bed until I dethroned her after our honeymoon. Sorry Guinness!
We found out some sad new today. Guinness has cancer. I know Dave is pretty sad. I don't think we are going to tell the boys yet. We are going to give Guinness pain medication for now and see how she feels. Moving is already so emotional, today was a rough day. It really makes you just hold on to each other and be truly thankful for family and friends.
UPDATE: We just found out that Guinness does not have cancer! She was not healed, but she was misdiagnosed. So Praise the Lord!

God is Good!

We are moving to Connecticut in approx. two months and this is the first time it has really "hit me" that we are moving. I think I have been emotional all day because of it.
We are amazed at all the things God is doing to get us ready to move.
We put our house on the market three weeks ago. The first person to sign up to see the house (besides all of our friends and neighbors who knocked on our door and wanted to see it) put an offer on our house! This is seriously a God thing! I am so excited but part of me is a little sad. It's the first time I have realized that we won't be here two months from now.
The past month has been very busy. Logan broke his collar bone and it has now almost healed. He was trying to get a balloon and he fell. I have been sleeping with him every night. He turns over on his bone and cries and I turn him back over. It breaks my heart! He has slept well the past few nights and he has shown huge signs that his bone is better. We get an x-ray next week to make sure it is completely healed. He's our little trooper!
Landon is in a very fun age. He is really good at paying UNO and he beats me at the game (almost every time) I don't even have to let him win! Landon also loves to help out around the house and he started a great trend. When his laundry basket gets full, he dumps it into the washer and gets me to help him put the detergent in the load. He is so cute. He loves to be a big helper!
We should know a move date pretty soon! Our rent house has a contract and closes in two weeks. Our house has an offer! Our house in Connecticut that we will live in closes at the end of April. I'll keep you posted!
We also had an exciting thing happen! We won the lottery!
We probably will just donate all of the money after we buy a house.
Oh wait we don't play the lottery... so I guess that I should now say "April Fools!"
