New Year New ...er.. Blog

Well, since we don't get to keep in touch with everyone as much as we'd like... I decided to post a blog for those of you who want to keep up with what's been going on in our lives.

That being said...

Our 13 year old dog died on January 9, 2009. It was SO sad. Trooper was diagnosed with cancer in May 2008. He started bleeding from his mouth and having difficulty breathing. Terry and I had to make a really hard decision to have him put to sleep. After he died, Terry, Kaitlynn and I buried him in our back yard under our Flaming Amore Maple tree.

The girls have never lost a pet before and it was an experience that none of us are looking forward to again!

Terry has been working as usual! Lots of bitter cold days lately have made for miserable shifts. Snow has been falling constantly making for busy days with accidents and slide-offs. The State Police had to do some budget cuts, so they took away their department issued cell phones. I went and bought him a new one... the extra $20/month is definitely worth the peace of mind.

Katilynn and Sarah have been doing well in school. They had a couple of "extra" days off due to the cold that will have to be made up at the end of the school year. They both LOVE their teachers and continue to do well in their studies!

Faith... lil' Faith! She is potty trained {she has been for a while now} but I was always putting Pull-Ups on her at night so that she didn't have any accidents. For the last 2 weeks she hasn't had any Pull-Ups on at night and has woke up completely dry. I am so proud of her!

I have been trying to keep busy with work but with the economy being in such turmoil, business isn't as great as I'd like! It's certainly understandable that people are trying to watch every dime! I know we are!!!

Well, I hope this first post finds all of you doing well and in good health. I will do my very best to update at least once a week... and add a picture or two!

Love,

Becky
