We had our first overnight guests in the new house last night! Our friends, Rett and Carol, and their dog Thor, came for a visit. Bo and Thor got along great, and Addison was pretty much obsessed with him. The poor dog couldn't get away from her. To her credit, she is very loving and usually very gentle with animals!



We just hung out at home while they were here, and spent some time outside since it wasn't crazy hot. It has been raining quite a bit, and Fischer found a big mud puddle in our driveway (that's still just dirt). He splashed around in that for about 30 minutes. He was so dirty but loved every minute.



Addison thought she wanted to play in it too, until she slipped. She landed on her butt, got very dirty, and very upset. She wanted to come inside to change clothes but we were able to distract her enough so that she could start having fun in the backyard.



Here is one of Addison and Fischer playing nicely together! Seeing that never gets old!


After our guests left this morning, we headed to the grocery store for our weekly shopping trip. After naps, Scott and Fischer went to Wal-Mart to get a new TV for our bedroom while Addison and I hung out at home. I finally organized our pantry today and pulled out several older bread items. So, Addison and I took a bag out to tear up and throw into the trees for the animals. It was obvious that Addison thought the animals would come eat it right then, so she was pretty disappointed when nothing happened. She was also convinced that a giraffe would be one of the animals coming to eat the bread... I guess we need to get back to the zoo soon so she can get her giraffe fix!



Later in the afternoon, we took a trip to our local dump. Since moving to our new house, I've had to get used to some aspects of country-living. Not having trash pickup is one of them. Addison and Fischer love going to the dump though, so it makes for a nice little afternoon outing. We pass cows and donkeys on the way, so that's always fun for them.

Oh, and Buddy is still hanging around our house. He let Carol put him back into his cage last night but was gone again this morning. We've enjoyed seeing him hang around though - he must be having a great time!

Why do the weekends always go by so fast?
