And her name is...

Well, a decision has been made. We decided to name her Lucy. I just think she looks like a Lucy.

Last night we tried to put her in her kennel to sleep and she just started crying. So we put her in bed with us and let her fall asleep. When she was sound asleep I put her back in the kennel and she just laid down and slept. So I proceed to go back to sleep. Well, about 45 minutes later I am woken up from a dead sleep to Lucy crying and yelping so loud. I tried to ignore her for a few minutes but it broke my heart to hear her yelp. So out of the kennel she comes and back into the bed with mommy and daddy. I put down a blanket just in case she messed and she laid right down and fell sound asleep again. She did not move once during the night.

Right now she is laying beside me on her back sound asleep. Copper is laying with daddy just as happy as can be.

Here are more pictures of Lucy so you can see again just how adorable she is. By the way Holli, now would be a good time to come see her, while she is small enough to pick her up.

Have a great week! Enjoy!

Addition

Well, we have been discussing it for a while and we finally decided to add on to our family. Tonight we brought home our new little girl. We don't have a name for her yet, so any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I can't guarantee it will be used, but it will definetely be considered. Here are a couple of pictures of our adorable little girl.






Isn't she beautiful. Copper is dealing very well, but Minnie isn't too sure about her yet. I'll try to get more pictures on here soon and maybe even a video or two. Have a good night.

Thanks again Meggy!

So...this is a shout-out to my cousin Meggy. We had so much fun tonight brainstorming and trying to come up with our top 5 least favorite things. We had some similar items and some different items. So, in honor of Megan..I will now list my top 5 least favorite items.

5. Wrestling on tv. What's the point? It's fake anyway.

4. Spinach/asparagus. Yuck!

3. Bologna (Meggy doesn't like hot dogs but I do) This is where we broke into song. Sing along if you know it. ahem...
My bologna has a first name...it's O-S-C-A-R
My bologna has a second name..it's M-A-Y-E-R
OOOOH I love to eat it every day...and if you ask me why I'll say...
"Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A"
That was fun. Back to the list.

2. People who blame everyone else for their mistakes/problems. Grow up! You got yourself into the mess, you get yourself out!

1. People who are your friend out of convenience. If you want to be my friend, be my friend all the time. If you only want to be a part time friend, I don't need you.

And here's a bonus one:
Omorosa. OK I'm an avid Celebrity Apprentice watcher and she just irritated me to no end. I was so happy to see her go. She wasn't a real celebrity anyway.

Well, there ya have it folks! Hope you enjoyed my least favorite things. If you have some least favorite things to add to the list, feel free to comment them to me.

Tomorrow is Friday, which means it is the weekend after 4 pm for me! Yay! I can't wait.

Good night!
Andi

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Easter! Enjoy all the food and time with your friends and family. Thank God that we have a reason to celebrate! If not for His sacrifice, I would not be here today.


Love you all!
Andi

Again

I am sick again. I thought I was just going to get the cough back, I could handle that. But OH NO! Now I have the runny/stuffy nose and my throat is swollen and sore. I had it in January and now I have it again. I can't afford to take anymore time off from work other than a day here and a day there. I only have so many days. Then it starts counting against me. Just plain frustrating. And I get to start a really long week. Tomorrow I will probably have a 10 hour day or close to it. Then Tuesday I don't think I have anything planned, thankfully. Wednesday is Civic Chorus and Thursday is Maundy Thursday so I have to sing. Friday will hopefully be somewhat relaxing. But I'm not counting on it. And then we have Easter weekend. Everyone knows that holiday weekends are not relaxing. Especially when you have two families to divide your time between.

We'll get it figured out.



I'm starving so Dave and I are going to eat some pizza...as soon as it gets here. It's Sunday night, what's better than delivery? Nope it's not Digiorno...it's Dominos. And it's here. Yay!

Hope everyone has a great week.

Road Trip

Dave and I took a road trip today. We drove up to Herscher to see Rachel and the rest of the Noteables compete in their last competition of the season. That means it was Rachel's last competition EVER! Tear Right when we got there we watched Rachel and some of her friends compete in the solo competition. Rachel was PHENOMENAL! I was so impressed by Rachel today. Then after the solo competition it was off to the Junior High section of the school to watch the Jazz Band perform. Again, they were GREAT! Then we went to eat before the Noteables competed. On to the main gym for the main event. I haven't seen the Noteables be this good in such a long time. Every soloist in the show did great, especially little Baby Rachel. I can't believe I won't get to see her do this anymore, well after the Noteable Review later this year. I just can't believe she is all grown up.

Now for the awards.
Best female solo in a show for the unisex division: Morgan B. from Pekin Intuition
Best choreography: Pekin Noteables
Best sound: Pekin Noteables
Champion for Unisex division: Pekin Intuition
Champion for Class AA: Pekin Noteables
Grand Champion Overall: Pekin Noteables
Sing and Swing Sweepstakes Winner: Pekin High School
The sweepstakes is awarded to the school with the highest accumulation of points b/w Showchoir and Jazz Band.

We are VERY proud of Rachel and the rest of Noteables/Jazz Band/Intuition. They all did a FABULOUS job. I suggest everyone come to see the final Review at the end of the school year. I will let everyone know when it is once I find out. I assure you, it will be great.

Hope everyone has a nice Palm Sunday and a good rest of your weekend.
Andi
