Baby?

Remember to update!!! Just got back in the loop. All puppies are off to their new homes except our little black and white collared pup. She is loving being the only pup in the house.

Saw the doctor yesterday for the 4th time and she was a little displeased. Kind of wanted to induce labor. i really don't want to have my baby that way but i guess i truly was "sent" into labor when I hit the deer in 2007 and went into labor w/Hemi.

So we compromised and agreed to wait until Monday (COME ON BABY!) and then plan that day which way to induce on Tues to give us a tuesday or wednesday baby.

Can you tell how excited I am. I've been sick all day already and boy do i have a waddle about me. Baby dropped ALL the way on Saturday but the "wall" is still thick. Sitting tight at a 2.

Will keep posting!

New posts coming soon!!!!

Wow, a new year already. Well i know every one will be surprised to see us back but with business finished for the season (at least we think) I will have a whole lot of new free time. Plenty of time to start keeping everyone current with news and pictures.

Shopping

Well the shoe hunt today went a lot longer than expected. The alotted two hour time slot drug into a 4-5 hour endeavor. We were with Hemi's great-grandma and she had a return in there and also a lunch break. Let me tell you we had a miserable experience there. They even brought Hemi the wrong meal and jipped her on an egg. She was adorable though, after dropping two pieces off the fork, she started spotting herself with her other hand. Finally i think she was terrified of losing one still and abandoned the fork to shovel the rest of the food in. She cleaned her plate completely.
To make things more interesting every place measured her foot and came up with a different size that she needed. I wanted to pull my hair out.
Jeremy is returning from his training tomorrow somewhere around noon. He wants to go on a date. Movies, dinner , ice cream, the works so Hemi is staying with Grandma and Grandpa. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I hear it is going to rain cats and dogs . Hope everyone is well, Sorry i don't have any photos to load today. I'm being lazy.

Cowgirl Up!

Hello again! Hemi is sporting one of her dad's snazzy outfit picks. Very nice. She is also wearing the scarf my sister made for her for Christmas. Cold weather is almost on it's way out. Heck, if this week was any indication, it was gorgeous out! Jeremy was in a much colder region while we enjoyed the nice weather. It's kinda funny but I'll be happy when he gets home and leaves that weather far away from us...my fingers are crossed.
Here, Hemi is showing off her London Fog coat from Grandma. It has kept her super snug all season. Well, onto the main show.

Here is Amble. One of Hemi's main charges. She enjoys feeding him horsey treats, like he needs it. Amble's feet are bigger than our heads but Hemi thinks he is her pet. Of course she is highly supervised here because she is completely trusting

A little bit of size comparison in this photo. He is a Belgian / Thoroughbred sport cross and will be 5 this summer. (Almost done growing) He's over 6ft at the shoulder. Jeremy can't see over the top of him. Here he is relaxed, he will put that head into the air if he wants and i can't reach it to catch him if he is having a go with me! Boys will be boys.

And then the big finish....

Ta- Dah!

Hemi is so wonderfully equine inclined at this age. Her balance is excellent.

Hemi likes to kiss his neck for pretend. She hugs the horses just like the dogs. I wish Amble was more photogenic. It looks like he's been photoshopped in. It's difficult to get good pictures because he wants to be right on top of you. He is just a big baby. I hoped to get a pic of her hugging his face but it was not to be.

Enjoy the sunshine everybody! I'm finishing the garden tomorrow.

Cherry's beauty days

What can I say, Thank God Cherry is such a good sport. Sometimes I catch Hemi out in the yard sitting on Cherry and bouncing like she is a horse, yes, we politely tell Hemi this is not allowed and Cherry is very proactive and moves frequently when we are outside. She is our old girl and we love her so much!

Hemi loves her very much too. They play dress up all the time with anything she can find. I think she puts handkerchiefs on their backs or blankets because that is what we do with horses. It's adorable to watch her mind work

Say Cheese!

Tykes & Trikes

Here it is, the coveted new tricycle. Not bad for $12 huh? That's right, can you believe it. I'm telling you those consignment sales are gold mines. Grandpa aired up the tires and shined up the crome. She rolled it right out of the garage. It even has a wood Schwinn nameplate on the back.

She can technically reach the pedals but isn't ready for that step just yet. That won't keep her stationary though, she loves steering herself around whether she's motering herself Flintstone sytle forward or backwards. Hemi even makes the moter sounds.

Here she is with her other favorite toy, a green garden cart. She loads it with stuffed animals and pushes them around the house or yard(it'll be for gardening this spring). Lately we don't leave home without it. She loads it and off we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to show and tell.

And fiinally, Tomato is feeling a little left out in the love department. Hemi fixes it. They are totally related with those strawberry blonde locks. He is the one that listens to Hemi all the time. She leads him everywhere and he loves it. I caught Laundry (our dark mahogany dog) wandering into Hemi's room today while I was putting her down for a nap. She had snuck in from the garage and was tiptoeing so carefully. It was really cute and Hemi was happy to see her before I escorted her back out. You can see Laundry at www.octoberskies.webs.com under Mahogany Moon.

Hemi has officially had a growth spurt. Another shoe size (5) and into 18 mo old pants. She is suddenly sporting high waters wherever we go this week. Time to go shopping.
