November

 Another blog that just takes care of one month.  Since I know that you my few readers would like me to get to more current things.

So in November my husband invited us to his works Open house to come check out the new building that they had moved to.  It made us a little sad to have him work further away because he used to come home for an hour during lunch and spend time with us in the middle of the day.  We were spoiled and we loved it.  But that time is over since gas would make that not a practical option all the time.   Yes we could move closer; however, it is not what we feel is right for us.  However it was fun for the kids and I to see the nice new building with lots more room and a much better situation for them to grow.  We had fun seeing Grandpa come check it out as well.  My husband loves the company he works for and believes in their product.  He is so excited for this change and loves to involve anyone he can in what they feel is a great opportunity for them.  The coworker in charge of food and doing most of the arrangements did a fantastic job and the food was amazing.

 Just a couple fun pictures of me with the girls.  My oldest loves having only girl.

 Also now that my husbands arm had healed enough he finished our fence.  Even the picket fence in the front yard.  It looks so nice to have no holes in any fence line we have.

 

This was our dog for one month.  We adopted him right before Halloween and loved him.  It was the hardest decision to let him go.  I had been thinking about a dog for a while.  I knew what my husband wanted should we get one and he was the perfect dog for us.  Except I am allergic to him and we have a small house and no garage.  It gets too cold in the winter here and when everything was weighed in the balance an amazing dog like this deserved a home where he could be warm and comfortable without any resentment from his owner over something he had no control over.  It broke our hearts and my son thought he had a brother in this dog.  We felt he belonged in our family.  We were not able to take him back to a shelter.  That seemed cruel and we didn't want just anyone to adopt him so we talked to our friends and family and found him a home with someone who loves him has no allergies to him and can take care of him.  We miss him so much and I still feel like a failure as a mother and human being for having to give him away.  A hard decision I never thought I would have to make.
