More Puppy FUN...and maybe some actual schooling?

Life with TWO puppies is very fun. They wake you atleast 1-2 times in the wee morning hours for a WALK! They chew everything they can put in those little mouths. They eat on a schedule of 3 times. You have to walk them before they eat, after they eat, after they play, after they wake up, and well even after you walk them. *Laugh*

But they are snuggly and sweet. Both are trying really hard to become good girls.

Piper has somewhat claimed me as hers.

She is very playful and was the ONLY puppy at the place that came and sat IN my lap. This is the one that Matthew fell in love with. She loves him, but she adores me. :) She is so long. I have been meaning to measure her against Rommie.

Piper also likes Remy most out of the boys. One night they fell asleep together.

And they even dance by pool side together.

Rommie is more sweet tempered. She is happy to just sit with you, but she will play too. She just has to be in the mood. This baby falls asleep in FUNNY positions.

Matthew bought them a blue crawfish toy. It was a hit right away.

Now how can there be puppy tug-o-war if you only have one? :)


I know I haven't made an actual SCHOOL post in some time. We haven't just been sitting around and in the pool or playing with puppies.

I promise!

We have had our first batch of OKRA from the garden.

The sweet potato has GONE WILD!

Remy has been hard at work. He reads as well as some children I know who are 3rd grade age. I will have to tape him soon for you all to see. There is such a satisfaction in hearing YOUR child read, love to read, and do it well. :) When I started homeschooling I never thought I could actually show someone how to read. But as it turns out it is one of the fun things that I will always cherish.

Elijah is zooming along as well. I just can't say enough about his materials this year. He LOVES them.

I leave you with one photo. One photo that makes me crack up! Remy came to me one night and he has on a magic top hat and a build a bear tie. He sits down and begins to read to us. CRAZY boy I tell you! I enjoy every moment. :)

I always enjoy your photos. What sweet little puppies! Remy is such a character. I adore seeing him in action and love that smile of his.

Wow, it sounds like you guys are super busy lately! Two dogs (puppies or not) sure keeps one busy!! I know from experience. Even better is a puppy, a kitten, a dog, and a cat. Talk about a crazy house we had that year, LOL!

I agree on the reading... it's such a good feeling to see them succeed at something like that! My nephew finally managed to make it through "reading" something today without having to work hard at it, and I was so amazed, particularly when he did it on his own! And THEN! He spelled for us! We were really impressed then, hehe!

I'm glad them pups are helping to bring the joy back. I have to admit I chuckled quite a bit through this post and it was nice. :) That okra looks so yummy! Okra is my favorite!! I'm going to have to feed Caleb some now. ;) LOL
