NEW BABY

November 18, 2008 9:06 p.m. Jackson Patrick Maurer-Green was born!

Sydney

We all know Sydney was probably human in a former life, but he is taking it to new levels. We got home the other day to find him literally sitting at the dining room table :)

Zoe is Home

Zoe returns! We got her home on Wednesday night and she is a changed being. Not only has she grown (which she will continue to do - her back paws are still way too big for her body), but she is well behaved and FUN! We have to continue with her training of course and she has puppy energy but she is good enough to keep the other dogs in line! And if you have met our other dogs, that is no easy feat.

Winter in Spring

April 26th in Minnesota! AHHH! I told Brandon if we got any more snow I was going to the airport and buying a one way ticket on the first flight available to a tropical location, Note: a one-way!

Well, yesterday was the big day, we made the jump and bought land in Colorado! We have 5 acres southwest of Pueblo. Great views of the mountains, southern CO so they don't get quite as much snow as the northern ski resort areas. It was a bit impulsive, but not totally. We have been looking passively for a few years and this one parcel is exactly what we were looking for. We have yet to see it but the broker has sent quite a few pictures and we will fly out to take a look in a few weeks:)

The Masterpiece is complete! My Atlantis is ready to ride, however Mother Nature has not kept pace. It is absolutely beautiful (those of you how know me well know I buy my bikes on beauty). The seat is one of my favorite parts, it is a tooled leather Brooks. LOVE IT! I refuse to ride in the snow and ice so it will not be tested until things warm up around here.
