Emily pictures!

This is Emily! Edward calls her Ratatuii cuz I shaved her for the summer and she really did kinda look like a big rat! Her ears are big -I've looked at other Yorkie pics and hers are definately on the large side. Sometimes I wonder if she secretly uses them to fly cuz she's like a jumping mountain goat -she gets on top of everything. One day I found her on the fridge! (I think Edward must have put her up there -but he denies it). I made an appt with a fertility doc on Halloween (spooky), but for now Emily's my baby and I love her!

My ambitious husband!

I was looking forward to a relaxing 3 day weekend (Labor Day), but Edward had other plans! We went to IKEA Fri (a wonderfull furniture store where you walk for miles following a yellow brick road, at the end you get hot dogs and frozen yogurt :). Edward has always sworn he'd never drive a mini-van, but broke that vow since we had to borrow our friends vehicle to transport a piece of furniture home. I hemmed some curtains we bought and helped Edward assemble a dresser. We had a really big wind storm that cracked the main branch of our tallest tree out back (luckily it didn't land on the house!). So Saturday we worked outside all day. I climbed way up in the tree like a monkey with a handsaw and finished cutting the broken mast. I'm usually afraid of hights, but not when I'm in a tree for some reason. I love climbing them! (Edward loves spraying me with the hose when I'm up there.) Then I held the ladder while Edward whacked off the lower branches with a chain saw (scary). I've made trimming the tree's my official duty since Edward tends to massacre them. Then on Monday Edward went into spring cleaning mode. He moved all the furniture to the center of the room and we dusted railings and ceiling fans, cleaned windows and blinds, shampooed the carpet, etc. Edward even washed the walls and repainted several areas! I was in charge of spackling any nail holes I found. A black bug landed on a hole I had just filled and Edward pointed at it and said I'd missed a spot. When I told him I had just spackled that one he looked closer at it and saw it move. He got a wierd look on his face and said, "I think I've inhaled too many cleaning chemicals, cuz that hole's moving!" When we got close enough to see it was a bug I had to make fun of him! It was an exhausting weekend, but all stuff that needed to be done and it feels so good now!
