Oh so cute puppy!!!!


Sorry I'v taken so long to put in a new blog, but we just got a puppy a couple of weeks ago, and she has been all consuming!!!

We have never owned a dog before, and no one ever told me how much you fall in love with them.

Our new puppy is a 12 week old cavoodle (half cavalier kings spaniel and half rooster) Ha, ha, really a poodle and her name is Ruby. She's the most laid back puppy who loves nothing better than to snuggle up with you. Of course the kids think whe is just the best thing ever.......

We now just have to get the toilet training sorted.... boy thats hard work at the moment, but it gets easier every day.

Love to X-Stitch

Once again, it's a horrible rainy weekend. (It seems like every weekend has been like this lately) so what better weather to go off to the movies, and then to come home and sit by the fire with my new purchase from trademe, a x-stitch kit.. I havn't done a x-stitch since my oldest was a baby (and he's now 12) and I love it! It's so addictive, (but a bit depressing when I realised I was finding it very hard to see the fine holes, so have had to invest in my first pair of reading glasses). Its slow going, but hope to have it framed and up on the wall by Xmas.

By the way, the movie we went to see was Mamma Mia, and what a great movie!!!! One of those feel good movies that has you wanting to leap up and sing and dance in the isle.....
Merryl Streep is great in it (as usuall) so would highly recommend it.
