Swimming Day 8

February 28, 2009

8 lessons down and 8 lessons to go!

Jay was a wonderful husband today and volunteered to swim with Max again. Max screamed the majority of the class, but afterwards he told me he had fun. ??? Who knows??? He did good as you can see in the video clips. Jay lets go of him and he can propel himself to the wall just before drowning. Well, gotta run, I'm finishing up tagging my consignment goodies for dropoff on Sunday. Talk to you soon!

PS: I finished up my photo project this week and had the posters printed. I also painted the 'whoville' frames on his wall. As soon as I finish the last pieces I will post pictures. Max says he really likes his "new painting."

**UPDATE**

February 22, 2009

I have been asked several times about the dog I blogged about a few days ago, so I figured I needed to update. Once I returned home there was no sight of the dog. Max continues to ask, "That big doggy find his way home?" I assure him that he found a home. Oh, I hope he did, he was a nice dog. So no new dog in "the cul de sac." . . . . . thank heavens!

2.2.22 Celebrated

February 21, 2009

Tonight we celebrated by grandfather's 87th birthday. His birthday was really on February 2nd, but due to illness we were not able to get together until now. We decided to arrive early and feed the local ducks at the docks. Well, it was raining and as you can see, Jay was the only one feeding the ducks. Max was not interested because Jay tossed some bread at his feet and all the ducks flocked to him . . . scaring him . . . smart one, Jay.

So Max stood with a grip on Unk Jon's hand trying to keep the ducks away. Before we left home, I told Max that Unk Jon was going to dinner with us. He returned with his fireman hat. He explained that he has to wear it to keep his head from getting wet in the rain.

After a great dinner of steaks, we all sang Bull "Happy Birthday," and enjoyed some cake.

We hope to enjoy many more birthdays with our Bull and Nanny!!

Swimming Lessons Day 7

February 21, 2009

Swimming lessons didn't go well today . . . at all. As Max has told everyone, "I cried da whole time." He has been doing better and better each week, but not today, it was a lot like week one. Who knows why? Hopefully next week is better . . . . it better be . . . I'm in the water!

While Daddy's Gone . . .

The Dog's Will Play!

Jay is gone this week and might possibly come home to a big surprise if he isn't checkin the blog. The big surprise stands really tall compared to Kix and almost to Max's shoulders. He's furry, slobbery, and likes to love on you. We picked him up on our walk this morning over by the pond. He followed us all the way thru the neighborhood and back to the house. Now he is asleep on my steps in the garage. Jay has always wanted a big dog and this might be the only way he gets one. He seemed to play well with Max and not so well with Kix. But . . . we all know Kix isn't the social type and to Kix it might resemble a coyote. I hope he finds his way home since it is suppose to storm and snow tonight. This dog ain't coming in my house!! And he is not staying in my garage . . . I'm just not sure how to get him out. As Max said, "Big Dog, go home!" I guess we could maybe call it Jersey, since that is where Jay is this week . . . . . or maybe Rex . . . then we would never keep Max, Kix, and Rex straight! We will see . . . . .

Another X

February 15, 2009

Here is another X for my picture project. I got some comments that the X in the sky wasn't real clear (esp from my husband) so, I don't think you can miss the X in this picture.
