the dogs...they is a comin'.........after 12 noon Bart, the owner of Bed, Bath & Biscuit, said....he said they will both have a bath right before he brings them to the house.....thank goodness for Bart nd the bath soap.......well, breakfast was bacon (not all of it burned so this was a real treat for the boys), cinnamon toast, a banana and orange juice for brendan and aidan, and milk for michael.....breakfast is becoming one of my favorite times of the day.....brendan also ate a carrot, so he could eat something from every food group...meat, dairy (butter on toast), grains, fruit, and vegetable....he shared a carrot with aidan, but michael was already finished and didnt care for a carrot for breakfast......they are really so precious, and so much fun......i felt sort of guilty due to one of the comments from yesterday, so i have cleaned the inside of the pantry door with my trusty and beloved clorox wipes--i actually used two of them, because i wanted to do a really good job.....i am sleeping like a log at night and the boys are too.....sometimes it takes brendan a little longer to go to sleep than michael and aidan...i stay in the room with them until they go to sleep......last night i quicklly heard Michael and Aidan sleeping softly and i waited for brendan to go to sleep....all was so quiet and i heard brendan say, " Grammy, you are snoring and i was almost asleep"....how embarrassing because you all know i can snore with the best of them....however i stopped and all was very quiet again and i hear brendsn moan "Grammy, pleeeese stop snoring" so i apologized and waited until all was quiet again and i snuck out before i awoke the house again....i went back to check on brendan before i went to bed and he was sleeping.....boy do i love these boys and i am so thakful to my God and Father, that i have this privilege of spending this quality time with them........yikes, i just realized again that the dogs are coming.....oh ,my, will things change around here.........i spoke with Ramona for a good bit yesterday evening and she reports that her classes will be tollerable and she feels at least in some of them that she will shine.....she said Matt, who was in class at the time i called her, feels his classes, although hard, will be manageable for him too....i am so proud of both of them for continueing to pursue their dreams......i was able to hear Karsen voice and oh how i miss him, i told Ramona, that Karsen is growing up while i am gone,,,when i left he was taking a few steps and everytme he did it one of us would yell to the others that Karsen had taken another step..now he is walking everywhere and is actually moving his play pen around in the room to the point that they have had to blockade the playpen from cabinets and tables....oh, my precious Karsen, how i do miss him, but what a grand thing to be able to miss someone, because that just means that you have someone to love very much and i do love my Karsen...and Ramona and Matthew too, but i get to hold Karsen, and Ramona and Matthew dont let me hold them......well i must get on with my day...i may buy that throw-away mop=head that goes on the Mr Clean mop handle, so i may have more tales of my cleaning to share.,.Michael Sr. is doing great .....so am i, can you tell....yikes, i just remember again that the dogs are coming home.--rats....life is good, even with the dogs.,....love to you all....jk
