Tricks and Dog Treats

Since our last post I feel like our little Charlie bear has gone from an infant to a toddler...in dog years of course.  The barking has calmed, the biting only comes in spurts and fits of rage, and he is now all over everything!  Charlie is finally walking up and down the stairs unassisted, praise God, and he can jump off our bed with slight hesitation.  His last vaccination visit to the vet went well and he weighed in at 30 lbs!  He only just turned 16 weeks October 29th!  Yes, we have a big boy on our hands.  Nothing beats laying in bed with him in the evenings while he naps...so sweet.  We take weekly visits to see his best friend Chloe, my parents 3 year old golden, and Charlie has a blast!  The down side is that we have to bathe him every time since they tend to drool all over each other.  This past weekend was Halloween and we HAD to dress up all the pups.  Charlie was a Bumble Bee, Chloe was a devil, my parents little Pomeranians were a bat and a prep.  We tried to make Charlie an alien but it didn't fit.  Below are some recent pictures of Charlie.

Alien costume was too big

Now that Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is fast approaching Drew and I cant believe that we have been married for 3 months already!  Drew has been working himself into the ground with soccer and teaching.  His club team TNFC just had there last tournament of the year in Murfreesboro and they took 2nd place in the silver division.  Way to go Rovers!  They will pick their tournaments back up in late Winter and early Spring.

I have been helping Nashville Aquatic Club with some coaching on Thursdays nights and have enjoyed being able to see my little swimmers regularly.  Rebbecca (Drew's mom) and I co-hosted a Willow House Party this past Thursday at Rebecca's House which she so graciously offered, and even though we only had a few people attend we sold quite a bit of merchandise and I think that we were both pleasantly surprised!  It was my first taste of a home party and I enjoyed myself. 

Drew and I are becoming more and more involved with our Church, Station Hill Baptist.  We are taking a theology class on Wednesday nights that we are really enjoying and will start serving this Sunday as greeters.  This is only the beginning of the membership process but are thrilled to begin this journey with our wonderful church family.  The best part about attending Station Hill Church is that it has brought Drew and I closer spiritually and there is nothing better to me than worshiping  the Lord with my awesome husband.   I thank God for him every day. 

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!  More Halloween photos are soon to come :)

Isaiah 45:19

I have not spoken in secret,

from somewhere in the land of darkness;

I have not said to Jacob's descendants,

'seek me in vain.'

I, the Lord, speak the truth;

I declare what is right.
