the summer has just begun

The Moore life has quickly changed.

After spending a month with them, Hailey decided Austin was not the best place for her at this time. Not because of them, I promise. But they haven't had time to miss her as their NEW DOG, Jake, has quickly made up the difference for any peace they would have gained. He's a sweet sweet dog. But there has definitely been a lack of sleep and added stress. For those who haven't heard or met Jake, he's a 55 pound German Shepherd mix. He's very intelligent. Matthew had to rig up the crate in various ways as Jake kept escaping.

Right now Matthew and Caitlin are starting the 18 hour drive from Ohio to Texas. They're doing it all in one stretch, with a few breaks for naps and food. Caitlin will be here for five weeks and so far there has been talk of trips to Schlitterbahn or Sea World, maybe a camping trip, and other various day trips. But it won't be all fun and games. I plan on putting Caitlin to work helping me care for a toddler and newborn. I'm sure she'll feel tortured with trips to the Austin Zoo, the mall and the park.

And that about covers Lisa's life for the past month. Since I have her password now if she fails to keep people updated I'll continue to step in.
