Visiting the new edition

I get to go on a long awaited little trip next week. I was blessed with a new nephew recently and have been anticipating a quick visit. Jason and Dylan think they can make it to Thanksgiving if need be, but not me. Amazing how men rarely appreciate babies unless they are their own. By the time Helton is 6 mos. old he will be a totally different baby and I want to see him now!! I have heard he is a big snuggler and I can admit I am ready for some cuddle time. I am sure Jason is hoping it will get me in the baby making frame of mind. (And by that I mean actually making a baby, not just practicing, since of course he always hopes I am in the mood for some practice.)
So, I will be snuggling and enjoying my Helton time no matter if we are at the lake house or in Tulsa. OH, and I am excited to see you too, Kennedy!!!
I'll be gone from July 1st through the 5th. Hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July. I know I will.

Mental Health Day

I am taking the day off tomorrow. I am a basket case. I need to relax and rejuvenate. Massage at 10 AM, a little light shopping and some swimming and sun. If that doesn't snap me out of it nothing will. If anyone else is playing tomorrow, give me a shout!!

SHE'S BACK!!!!

Thank you so much to the person who found our Sadie running loose on Friday around Metric and Kramer and drove her straight to the Town Lake Animal Shelter. We are soooooooo happy to have her home!!! Thanks also to the folks at the shelter for taking good care of her until we came to the rescue.
Sadie now has a microchip so she can never be lost for that long again. I had no idea how much I would miss her and I am so thankful to have her home safe and sound.
I know a lot of our friends and family have been praying for us and wishing her a safe return. It worked and we appreciate all the effort.
Going home from work and taking her on a long walk, with all her tags on, to take down all the Missing posters. We are super happy and relieved.

Gained one and lost one

Had a very eventful weekend. Some good news and some sad.
Our new nephew was born on Saturday morning. Helton Lewis, 8 lbs. 9 0z. Very healthy and mom and baby are home and doing well.
The sad news is that our beloved black Labrador, Sadie got out of the yard on Friday morning. She had no collar on and has been missing since. We have posted many signs around our neighborhood and are still hopeful someone has her and we will get her back healthy and quickly.
Checking the animal shelter today just in case, but nothing on their website is giving us much hope.
I didn't realize how much I loved her until now. If we don't get her back, I am trying to believe someone found her and is going to give her a good home.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will definitely update the blog if there is any news.
