Pictures of Kal and Lacey

I wanted to see what Kal would do unattended in the backyard (since it's entirely possible for him to jump the fence) and these are the photos I snapped through the glass door. He's such a good dog!

Kal and Lacey play

We went to San Antonio today and were able to adopt our new dog, Kalloway. Mitch decided he liked that spelling better than "Callaway." I think it's very original - much better than Prince. He's got a few manners issues, but is an absolute gem otherwise. We're very pleased he could join our family. He's an excellent guard dog, too. :)

I think they're getting along really well.

Terrified

Just found out that Mitch's friend who also didn't pass IFS is being honorably discharged from the Air Force. Mitch's paperwork goes before the board next week. Please keep us and especially the Murrays in your prayers. They have baby number two on the way.

Videopalooza

I couldn't help it, there were so many good ones, I just couldn't choose. These were all taken in the last 72 hours.

Really really long video, but so worth the two minutes, I promise!

Derek likes to explore... and often talk

Standing up....

Background story for this one makes it better: We were messing around with ringtones on Mitch's phone and Derek had been dancing to them. Of course, once the camera came out, the dancing stopped. Derek's facial expression at 0:30 is absolutely priceless... almost worthy of America's Funniest Home Video.

Cuteness, laser-guided vision and the sucka-sucka-sucka face (watch the binkie closely)

The Derek Hat

Derek's evil take-over-the-world laugh

Why I love Sundays.... and why Derek is scary

Baby Crazy

There, I said it. I'm baby crazy again. I miss having a little one to cuddle and I'm super mad that I didn't get to nurse for very long at all. Derek hates cuddling. He's such an independent clinger - it's a little weird. As long as I'm in the room or within reaching distance, he's fine. Pick me up, put me down, pick me up, put me down. He's so cute when he laughs though - you can see his two little fangs and his two little bottom teeth. I just hope my next pregnancy is nice and smooth and labor is just as quick or (hopefully!) quicker than the last one.

On better news... my house is clean. :)
