Pile of Puppies

OK, so last night Katie and Heidi and I got Aurora to go outside for a little bit and we picked up the puppies to pet them and give them a little love, and surprise... there were 11 puppies. WOW!! There are 8 males and 3 females. Today we did the same thing and I had Heidi get a picture of me with the pile of puppies. I think Aurora is doing pretty good with them. She was very, very protective at first, even to the point of snapping at me and nipping Heidi but she is getting much better now and only growling every once in a while. But, if she doesn't know you she barks and gets up to come after you. Kinda scary!!

Update on puppies

I went down about an hour after my last post and Aurora had had two more puppies. So that is a total of 10. Now this morning, it still looks as if she has 10. She is very grumpy and growls at anyone who comes near so I am not going to disturb her to find out for sure. They all look pretty healthy but I don't know how she will feed them all. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Puppies

Well, we got home at about 4:30 this afternoon and found that our dog, Aurora, was having her puppies. She had had two at that point and they were just whining and squealing. They were so cute. Over the next four hours she had 6 more for a total of eight. We think she is done now, we hope so. I think we will try to sleep and hope that Aurora can sleep too. Here is a little picture of the eight of them. I don't think you can see them all in this picture. Aren't they darling? Anyone want one? Heehee. They are mutts so they will be given away free!!!

Katie, the seamstress

Well, most of you have seen the sewing expertise of my sister in law Heather and her girls on the mission field in Colombia, South America. So I thought you might enjoy seeing my girl's sewing ability. I must say, first of all, that I did not know she was fixing her PE skirt, she didn't ask for my opinion, she just got the needle and thread out herself and started sewing. I'm so proud, and both of her grandmothers are going to hope that no one knows she is related to them. They are both excellent seamstresses. Yes, the skirt is grey and the thread is pink. Her stitches are "X's", on the outside of the skirt. And again, I say, I'm so proud. :)

Andrew's Uncle Dan and Aunt Carole came to visit and bring one of our school teachers' belongings up here. They were with us for about a week. We had such a nice visit, but they never stay long enough. They left this past Wednesday and should be getting close to home by now.... well, maybe not really close but a WHOLE lot closer. :)

Trampoline Fun

I thought this was such a cute video clip that I should post it. These little twins are such fun, we don't know what we would do without them. I'm so glad God surprised us with these two.

Flying home

The twins were playing at the side of the runway last Friday, waiting for Daddy to fly in. Drew and Grant were there as well. We have a piece of property right there on the runway that we are building a hangar and apartment on.

There he is... our first glimpse of him coming in, checking out the runway to make sure there wasn't any moose in the way. :)

Wow... you can hardly see the plane. It looks like a little mosquito at the far end of the runway, over the trees.

OK... this one is a little better. He just getting ready to touch down.

On the ground... I love to watch planes land and take off. When one is bringing my "babe" home it just adds a little icing.
