grumpy and need to vent...
So... we have a new dog. He's as sweet as can be and is technically not the reason for my grumpiness. But MAN! I cannot wait until he's done being a puppy. Let's start with yesterday--the Jeep died. I have no idea what's wrong with it but speculation is, it's the alternator or starter. Either way, likely a $300 fix. Grump.
The night before, I realized that the battery was dead, but we have my dad's battery pack, so my plan was to plug it in before I went to work. Well, I plugged it in for about an hour (45 minutes longer than it should have taken) with no success. Grump.
I called the insurance company and had it towed away. The shop where I had it towed to should have time to look at it this morning and give me a prognosis. Grump.
So, then I cleaned my house and was bored out of my mind because I couldn't GO anywhere.
Last night, for whatever reason, Lucy got a burst of energy at 8:00 (normally her bed time) and she was up until 9:20--20 minutes AFTER mommy's bed time. Grump. Bear started crying in his crate at 10:30, 12:30. and 3:00--each time he cries we just go out and tell him no until he stops. It usually takes 5 minutes each time, which isn't much in the scheme of things, but when you're deep in REM and SO exhausted from an exhausting day, 5 minutes is an eternity and at that time in the night/morning, all patience goes out the window. Grump. Grump. Grump.
This morning, when Adam got up at 5:00, so did Bear and 30 minutes later, so did Lucy. 5:30 is WAY TOO EARLY FOR MOMMY. Grump.
On top of it all, our shower was just recaulked yesterday which means I can't shower for another 24 hours. The maintenance guy got caulk on my bathroom rug and hall carpet. It's 90 degrees in my apartment. The downstairs neighbor is blairing his music. Bear pooped in the house AGAIN...
Man I'm grumpy.

The new addition to the family
Daddy think's he's so funny.
We got a dog! He is a dachshund, he's 10 weeks old, and his name is Bear. He and Lucy love each other. What a great investment!
This month so far...
Well, I've started work at Susanville Real Estate and Lucy gets to go with me. She's a good girl, but some days we just have to stay home because she's too "active." She's been pushing teeth for a few months now, but nothing's shown up. I'm hoping that this phase is over soon--I want my old baby back. :)
We've tried one church in town and really liked it--the Susanville Community Church. It's an EV Free and their preacher was really great. We'll go again this Sunday and try out the nursery for Lucy.
After church one Sunday, we thought we'd let Lucy show off her mad crawling skills... or, attempting to crawl skills:
I have a video but for some reason it won't up load. You'll just have to see it in person.
She tries really hard but so far just doesn't have the upper body strength to hoist her body up from the belly-lay position.
Out of all the toys Lucy has, her favorites are her toes, paper and the remote.
She's getting to be such a big girl! She's rolling over all over the place and can even hold her own bottle. 
I don't know why we didn't think of it sooner, but she LOVES to listen and watch daddy play guitar. She stayed occupied for 20 minutes while I made dinner! Fabulous.
We just returned from another trip to Paradise where we celebrated Adam's first Father's Day. He took the annual camping trip with "the guys" and followed in suit by getting injured. He sliced his hand open between his thumb and index finger and needed 7 stitches. AND on top of it, he got food poisoning. It's been an interesting few days....

Lucy meets Josiah... and gets her photo taken by the talented Lynae Condit
Lucy finally got to meet her new best friend, Josiah Daniel Condit! He was such a big boy, born 5/21/2009, 7 lb. 9 oz., 22 inches long. At Lucy's last appointment, she was 23 inches long!
They have the same size feet!
Such a pretty girl, sitting up! (Showing off for her man)
This one's for Dustin. You know why...
