The Bunch Have Weather Whiplash

 

He is such a  sweet big baby❤️

This past week was wonderful! The mornings were slightly chilly and the afternoons were picture perfect. So of course we have to have a cold front come through that drops the the afternoon highs by about 40 degrees! It is rainy, cold, and miserable now. I have switched back and forth so much from heater to a/c  I am surprised my system hasn't freaked out! Unfortunately, Axl is still a big baby so we haven't had a lot of sleep. We have been needing to give Axl his anxiety meds, which helps, but he still pants and paces ALL night long. While that is annoying, it is actually an improvement from when he first arrived. I just can't understand why he is so upset every time there's any moisture in the air. It's really sad to watch a 100 lbs dog literally shaking because he's so scared. I really hope as he gets use to his new home that he continues to be less scared of EVERYTHING.

It was a pretty long week since D was gone 12 hours every single day. He has Sunday off to relax and then starting Monday he is back to more training. The amount of training they are required to do every year is insane. If you ever hear anyone say that police need MORE training, they are someone who has no idea what they are talking about. While he's been busy T has been helping me get some things done that we've needed to do. We probably would be getting more done if Axl wasn't making us so tired!!😂

A takes her test this week to be a fully certified Vet Tech in the State of Texas! She has been studying so hard for this. I know she is ready to be done and we're ready for her to be done and to get to celebrate this milestone with her. 

I feel really bad he gets so scared.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
