I am once again trying to figure out how to blog from my phone... that way it isn't so few and far between to updates.

2 more sleeps....

Ever since the kids were little we have counted big things coming up in the amount of times they would be going to sleep at night.... So 2 more sleeps is what I have been telling myself all day.

In 2 more sleeps Rob will be home. He left on the 4th and has been in the land of Israel all this time. I miss him horribly. So to update you on everything else this is what has been going on in our home.

About a week before Rob left the lady I purchased Sparky from contacted me. After a nice conversation and exchange of pictures... me updating her on Sparky, her sending me baby baby pics of Sparky and pics of her parents etc. She told me she still had one of Sparky's sisters.... I had just the day prior day dreamed about what it would be like if I had gotten both of them like I wanted to. So before the day was over I had little Dixie in my arms. She is opposite in many ways to Sparky, but still an amazing dog. They were weighed today at 2.2 lbs for Sparky and 4.1 for Dixie. Yes Dixie is double the size of Sparky. We are pretty sure that Sparky is going to end up around 3 lbs. and her sister will probably be double that around 6-7 lbs. They both sleep in our bed up by my head and follow me around all day. Sparky doesn't have much patience with the kids. I think it is because she knows how little and fragile she is so she tends to run and sit on my chest whenever they try to hold her. She will give them kisses only from the safety of my arms. Dixie however will climb all over them and let them carry her around. They are both beautiful, but completely different in their looks. Dixie has a vanilla, caramel frappacino look to her, and Sparky is all black with a few white spots on her feet and chest. Dixie has the shape of the Maltese mom, and Sparky has the shape of the Yorkie Dad. As soon as I figure out how to upload to my Mac I will post pics.

Not much new with the rest of us, just waiting for Dad to be home.... 2 more sleeps.
