Homewrecker

So... I'm currently dealing with a little competition for my wifes attention. His name is Bailey, he's 12 weeks old and weighs in at 9.5 pounds. Despite my own transgressions, I find it hard to believe that I am less adorable than this little runt who hasn't yet figured out that a kitchen floor is not a toilet. Amongst his other discrepancies, are the thought that socks are a food group, wires are a delicacy, and going outside is for the birds. Furthermore, I believe he is trying to "get me out of the picture.". To do so, he will park right behind me in hopes that I trip and some unfortunate event might occur.

Do not be fooled by his puppy-like demeanor. This guys is dangerous. In fact, I've included a couple pictures so you too will know what to look for and not be fooled as I was.

Bailey on St Patties

When you get a puppy this close to St. Patties Day, you have to give him an Irish name. So, meet Bailey! He fly's into us from his breeder tomorrow, but she was nice enough to provide some pictures ahead of time. In the meantime, this St.Patricks day... um... thing co-stars Maya, Ryan, Nathaniel, and um... some chimpanzee.

A Thousand Welcomes

Sorry it took so long to post. We will show you more soon. When I say soon, I really mean in a couple of months.

One week of financial freedom left!

So... it looks as if this Thursday the two of us will become home owners. I don't know why this doesn't scare me yet... I'm sure it will!

We plan to close on the 31st (this Thursday) and move in on Saturday the 2nd. Fortunately for us, we do seem to have an All-Star cast helping us out with the heavy stuff. I am especially worried of some of the larger pieces and the apartment that we are moving out of. Moving some of the bulkier/heavier things could very well be weather pending.

Anyway, here is a teaser picture of the house. We're very proud and neither one of us thought our first home would be this nice. I might add that there is a guest room and if certain individuals from Michigan care to see the Greater Western Massachusetts area, we can provide accommodations... at this point, I might point out that Massachusetts is a very difficult state to spell and may or may not have taken spell checker to spell properly.

In 2007....

I'd say this sums it up!

Our First Christmas Tree

It looks a bit empty, but I am sure we will get more ornaments over the years to actually fill the tree.

I don't know if it's just me who does this, but I can't stop moving the ornaments around.

Wickham Park

Last week we went to a park called Wickham Park. We drove by the entrance a couple times on our way to other places and Sean would always say how beautiful it was and we should go one of these days. So last Wednesday we decided to go. He was right, it is very beautiful. I looked up the park history on line and found out most of the land had been owned by Clarence and Edith Wickham. They left the land and a large portion of their estate to fund the park. The park is over 250 acres. I know you are probably thinking "who cares where the park came from". Well it turns out this couple met in Europe but he was from Connecticut and she was from Michigan. In June of 1900 they were married in Muskegon, Michigan! Her maiden name was Edith McGraft. McGraft might sound familiar to those who know Muskegon because it is a name of a park. She donated money to build the community building at McGraft park and when she died she left money to the trust for the park funding.
We had a great time walking around taking pictures. I tried to capture some of the colors of a New England fall, but with the little rainfall we had this year I am told the color is not as great as it normally is. I still think it is beautiful.
