New Puppy and Kids

Just thought I would update everyone on the rest of our week. John, the guy that hit Jack, graciously bought a new puppy for the kids. We got a miniature Schnauzer and his name is Buster. He is a little doll. Although, just like a person, Jack can never be replaced, Buster has found a special place in our hearts and is helping the grieving and healing process. Hannah has him constantly and because he doesn't shed he has been sleeping with her also. He is really helping her through this. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much during this time for our family! He always knows our needs and our hearts!

We also have two new little ones. Hailee just turned 3 and her brother CJ just turned two. It sounds like they will be with us long term. We took all the kids to Costco on Friday and people kept asking us if Hudson, Hailee and CJ were triplets. They are all about the same size and all blondies. On Friday when I was getting CJ ready for bed I noticed some bug bites on his belly. This morning they had blisters on them...yep chicken pox. Poor little guy! He is miserable. He has about 30 new ones since this morning. Fortunately Hannah has already had them and Hudson has been vaccinated. We don't know if Hailee has had them so I don't know what to expect. Time will tell. We definitely have our hands full. Hannah has been so awesome with the kids and has been such a big help. Everyone seems to be adjusting fairly well.

Jeff and I are celebrating our 7th anniversary tomorrow. Actually we celebrated last night. My Mom & Dad babysat the kids so that we could go to dinner and a movie. What a treat!! We had such a wonderful evening! We went to The Cheesecake Factory sat at our table for about 2 hours and just enjoyed talking and spending some alone time together. Then we went and saw a movie. We didn't get home until 12:45am. I think we were out past curfew. He he! Thanks so much Mom & Dad!!
