New member of the family

We have new family member and it is a boy. His name is Tim and he has the most beautiful blonde hair. His feet are huge and he'll be a big boy when he grows up. We think he's a golden retriever or a lab mix. We found him outside of our house yesterday. The neighbors dogs wouldn't shut up so Steven went out to see what was going on. There was this very cute, very weak puppy at the steps. We gave him some cat food and water, which he greedily consumed. He was covered in fleas so I went and got some flea shampoo. Steven called the vet and we got him in yesterday afternoon. The nurse was initially worried about Parvo since Tim was so listless. The vet looked at him and said he was just tired and hungry. Since he was a stray, we got a starter dog kit that included a 5lb bag of Science Diet puppy food, a month dose of Frontline and a month dose of Heartguard. Tim the Enchanter is his full name and we never would have chosen him. He's going to be huge when he's grown. But he's so wonderful and we couldn't just leave him, he showed up on our steps and he needed someone. Today I was taking him out to use the bathroom and someone from the trailer park was driving past and said that they have a litter of puppies and they had escaped yesterday or the day before. They asked if I wanted to keep him and I said yes. (We had put up a couple of Found Puppy signs but hoping no one would call). They said that he was born on the 29th, which would make him 6 weeks old (the vet thought 8-12 weeks). The guy said please take him and asked if I wanted another. These guys were not taking good care of these puppies if they are telling the truth. But we're happy to have the addition to the family. He's taking well to the affection and food. We've already started with some basic training and he is initially recognizing our dominance. I'm sure he'll start to test us in a couple of weeks, but I think we're off to a good start.

Other news:
On Sunday Steven and I went to visit my dad and Jenni and hear JamisonPriest play at the Texas Folk Life Festival in San Antonio. We had a great time. Daddy took us out to eat on the River Walk and then we went and heard them play. There is a lot going on and next year we want to go on a Saturday so we can spend the whole day hanging out with them. We had to leave relatively early because I have to be at work so early.

The last weekend in May my mom came down to hang out with us and work on the wedding dress. I had a great time hanging out with her and doing stuff for the wedding. She started the muslin dress (to do the alterations on) and we found the fabric that is going to be used for the dress. I ordered it last week and it should be in Abilene soon. Steven and I took my mom to eat at Yanez Cafe and to Casa Maria which are two of our favorite restaurants. Mom came to church with me and we just hung out the rest of the several days she was here.

There is a new website that I'm putting my photos on. It's called photobucket and it holds 1 gig of photos and videos. There is a link to the left.

Steven has started a blog. It is mostly political. The name is Un Otro Voice.
