It's COLD in Syberia

I'm working from home today...yes, I'm on my lunch break...because schools have closed due to the temperatures. Right now it's -11 degrees without calculating the wind chill...brrrrr!!! We are watching KiKi & Duncan while Jenna & Keith finish packing up this week. KiKi is not interested in going outside. I bought her some booties but her little legs are so thin that she chilled TO THE BONE fast. It's sunny today so all puppies are lying in the sun in front of the sliding doors.

Jenna & Keith brought the ultra-sound pictures over on Wednesday of their little one. How exciting. I guess a new ultra-sound is scheduled for mid February. They might find out the gender then. Jenna has put a poll on her blog for your guesses. Be sure to vote. I did. She's getting large already...boy??? or she just doesn't have space in her short torso...girl???

We have been talking with Jami most evenings on the video cams. They've improved a lot. It's nice to see her face as well as hear her voice. Makes it feel like she's not so far away. We're planning another trip to see her next weekend...bringing her the last of her stuff.

back to work...

A Big Change

This past weekend Kevin & I loaded up our, Jami, and her belongings along with our Jenna & Chrissy. With everything in a large truck & two vehicles, we traveled 8 hours to Charlotte, NC. Jami decided to go back to school & study the culinary arts. She will study for 2 years. Kevin's brother, Tom, and Tom's wife, Kris, bought an investment house across the street so Jami could live & be able to bring her dogs. She was ever so happy. Anyway, we all helped her clean & unpack. It was a daunting adventure but she's on the way to being settled.

Jami has been living with us for the last few months so its very unsettling & quiet around here. We miss her soooo much. We left her on Sunday morning shedding many tears. We are so grateful that Tom & Kris were able & willing to make this move comfortable for Jami. We know they will be there for her as we would. We're also pleased to have met her neighbors across the street...great people. Jami's going to have a great couple of years.
