They're Here!!!

The puppies are here, the puppies are here!!!

Ok, so they've been here for like 12 days now (born March 1). But saying it loud and excited-like takes away from the fact that three days before the puppies were born I hit Baylor in our driveway with our new van. And I killed him. That day was awful and I still hate thinking about it. Three nights later we were up for several hours in the middle of the night scrambling to get a box and towels and googling like crazy on our ipads to figure out how to help a dog give birth. Turns out that it was a pretty neat experience! There are four. One female and two males. They are soooo tiny. Well, they were so tiny I should say. It is AMAZING how fast they have grown. Just today they have reached to just about a pound in weight. And their eyes are just beginning to crack open. They kids love them!

Oh man Cora is changing! She can now crawl on all fours, eat a variety of "table foods," pull herself up to stand, point, screech when she wants something (she gets her point across!), play with lots of toys (the baby doll is still her toy of choice). She is just amazing! I don't know if I've blogged about this yet or not, but Jude is basically fully potty trained. He has really seemed to grow up quickly too. And he always says the funniest/cutest things that I can never remember to write down later. The best one lately though was when he ran in from outside to go to the bathroom saying, "I never leak, I never leak!" (really funny if you've seen Cars 2).

Can you believe the amazing weather predicted for this week?! The weekend was pretty great, but tonight was gorgeous. The kids and I played outside in t-shirts! Now usually I feel really awkward about wearing flip-flops in March, it just seems tough to make that transition usually. But not this year baby!!! Bring it on!!!

Anyone want an adorable beagle puppy?

Here is Briar just a few days before delivery.
And here is the family. I think Barry is the likely father since none of the puppies really have much ticking.
Swinging! (not today, today we were in t-shirts!)
