Meet Jack...



Jack, the newest member of our family. He is a Boxador, part Boxer, but mostly Lab. At 4 months old, Jack weighs in at 45 lbs, and his paws are every bit as big as Zeke's. (And Zeke is a BIG boy!) We were told that he could easily pass Zeke in height and weight, so Brian is a happy guy. He takes great pride in having a big dog...(weird huh???)

Anyhow...we are in love. He is a very friendly dog. At 16 weeks, he is still fairly disobediant. He loves Brian, and will stay right at his side, but refuses to listen to me...Crazy puppy. He also SNORES, BURPS, and GETS HICCUPS! Have you ever seen a dog have hic-cups? It is really funny. He is also a big eater. He has been eating more than Zeke. Hopefully that will stop soon, otherwise, we wont be able to afford him! Here are a few pictures of him, but I will have to add some more b/c he refused to pose for me...Doesnt he know who adopted him? He will have to learn soon~

Week 2...



And at the end of week 2, we have a lovely siding-less home, and a NEW PORCH! lol. Also, I still need to take pictures of the deck, but it has been redone! Brian and I are going to stain the porch white (I think that it is called white washing)...should match the house.


And they started the siding trim...but no siding yet. Oh, and the picture is the UNFINISHED porch...I will post a picture of the finished porch soon! Sorry...thought I had one, but didnt... :(

AAAAAHHHH...THE BEACH!



We got to go to the beach last weekend. It was awesome because we did not even care if we only had money for gas...
It was just about getting away. The kids had a ball.
Abbie learned to boogie board all on her own! We all got extremely sunburned...well Brian and I did, the kids are in better shape! Oh and Isaac spent most of the day looking for bugs. What a boy! Have to say, Lake Michigan is quickly becoming our favorite get-a-way spot.



There is a picture of the view of Chicago from Michigan City. I think that is really cool. I said a mental hello to Carrie Smith!!!! ;)
