One more little one!
Ok... not long after i posted the last post...another slid out like he was coming out of the bottom part of the water slide...you know....when you burst into that little pool at the end of all the water slides. yeah. he was the cutest one too! I'll put up mug shots of each one in a day or two once they open their eyes.
New members of the family!
There are 10 so far, i will post later if anymore come, but i pray that's it. 8 girls, 2 boys. mostly black, 2 are brown, and 1 has the typical rotty brown markings. they are adorable though. if you know anyone that wants a puppy let me know.

Our new home
Claudia and I have been pretty busy lately with several things, not least of which being that we have been house hunting. Well, it looks like that search is over.
We came to an agreement today (we'll sign the contract tomorrow) for a house in Lake Zurich, IL. It is about 28 miles from work, but less than 5 miles from church--and we could ride our bikes to the beach!
Here are some pictures of the house:
This one is from the yard looking at our front door and the back of the garage. The house is a quadraplex, and we will own our quarter of the structure as well as the land it sits on. The door between the trees (on the right) leads into the garage, and the white door toward the left is the front door of the home.
This is the living space on the first floor. There is a sliding door to the left leading out the the patio, just out of the view.
There is also a half bath on the right outside of the picture.
Here is the kitchen. This picture was probably taken from the same spot as the last one, just turning about 90 degrees to the left.
This is the finished basement, with a third bedroom and room for a pool table (if someone wants to get us a pool table).
(And convince Claudia that we want a pool table).
Here's a closer view of the front door and the planter box if we want to keep it
This is the back yard, and the picture doesn't do justice to the quality of the landscaping. The grass could use some help, but the bed in the back is well done and looks really nice in person.
We're scheduled to close on May 30, so if anyone wants to come visit on May 31, we'd have plenty of work for you. :)
Update: The contract is signed, so the deal is done, pending inspection, mortgage, etc.
