Settling In

Bria's birthday pound cake for snack.
Aaahhhh.... I feel like we can take a big breath around here and begin the settling in process. Now that the afterschool crew is set, the daytime crew is set, the dogs are all settled in and the routine of school, Awana, weekends, etc. is becoming normal. . . it's time to just say, "Aahhh".

We are also really liking our littlest family member: Wrigley. She's just a hoot and we all adore her - Bailey included. It's a lot of fun having 2 dogs to play with, chase around the house, feed, bathe, clean up after, keep off the new furniture. . . ok, maybe it's not ALL fun, but we were already doing all those things with 1 dog - why not 2? :) The hardest part has been trying to remind the daycare kids that she is not a toy - we are working hard on trying to teach Wrigley to not be jumping up on other people, chewing on them, etc., so I'm trying to teach both kids and the dog to interact and be in the same areas without having to be constantly interacting with eachother. We already have 1 big furball who loves to constantly "interact". And by interact, I should say, lick, lick, lick, jump, lick, lick, and lick some more.
