Toucan Sam, or Samantha? Hmmm...

The latest addition to the nursery...

I see this fella every time I walk out of my bedroom

and sometimes I think, "I really like it!",

and sometimes I think, "why is it watching me!?".

Baby's room in the making

This room is the smallest in the house and actually started off as the dogs room!  Back when the big boys were crated, it was the the best place to put a Great Dane size crate.  It wasn't just where we put the dogs, it was decorated like a dog room, picture frames, little art things, etc.!  But now, it will be the baby's room.  We're going from dog theme to jungle theme!  Here are a few pictures to give you an idea.

The tree frog only took a few hours to do, not bad (I think) for my first time!  The palm tree, well that took quite a few more hours - I didn't count them!  Start to finish it probably took me a week and a half working on it here and there.  I think I'll be adding something else, maybe a colorful bird or some turtles somewhere, but I think for now I'm taking a little break!

Dogs

I have no new baby news to report, all is going well and the little munchkin is growing just fine.  25 weeks tomorrow, so only three more weeks and it's the third trimester!  Dum da dum dum.

So in this case I'll just report on the dogs... 

Drake - he who doesn't understand why he can't comfort the couch 24 hours a day - still enjoys a good romp in the yard, searching for squirells, bunnies, chunks of grass to pull up, perimeter patrol for other dogs, and a nice twig to chew on...

As for J.J., remember that "ball of the day" I mentioned before?  Hello November 6th ball...  You can see this one has met the lawn mower, but it's still one of his favorites, and one of ours I must say!  Ahh, quiet.  He sure doesn't act like a 9 year old when it's ball time.
