Addition

Naturally, it's been a long time since my last post, but the end of the school year is always busy for us. Lots of bus driving and field trips and such. Three trips to the zoo in the last two weeks, one trip to the Oklahoma Art Museum and one to El Reno with the special ed kids for their "special olympics" day. NOT a part of the "real" special olympics, but still great fun! And we made both newspapers out here, so we must be big time! We got to take the new, big activity bus and watch movies on the way there and back! This was really the coolest field trip I've been on so far!

We also have a new addition to our family. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but we have a dog. A Chihuahua. He is a few years old and we got him from some friends. Colton named him Poppy. He and Colton have totally bonded. As I type, Colton is outside playing with a friend and Poppy is sitting on the back of the couch whimpering because he's not with Colton. As long as Colton's not around, Poppy likes me as well. While he came to us grown and potty trained and such, he's also given us some challenges that we've had some trouble dealing with, but we are trying to make things work. He's really a lovey dog, and I think he'll be a great addition. Of course, I have a few pictures:



There are only 4 days left of school for this year! The following week we will be heading off to Texas with Joe for a few days to visit family and friends. Then back home for summer school until June 18th. Then Colton and I will make our annual trek to the coast for summer fun! We can't wait!
