So this week marks my 21st week. I am pretty excited because I am more than half way through now. Wahoo!!! We are very excited to have little Eric come into our home! I'm feeling pretty good too! I am not obviously "showing" yet. I am really ok with that. The longer I can go without looking like another "pregnant lady" the better. :)
On another note...Holli comes home this weekend! I cant wait! She happens to be arriving in Seattle on Saturday, her birthday, and then coming to Utah on Sunday! I think we have all been planning Christmas 2010 since June 2009.
Yay for this weekend!

Good luck Jenson!
This past week was a hard week for us. We made a really tough decision to transfer Jenson. He left on thursday to start his new adventures in colorado. It was harder than I thought it would be to actually hand over his leash to the truck drivers. I was really doing ok until I had to actually hand him over.
Our Jobs have gotten so busy. We really hoped that Victor would be able to take him to school and then work but his job has gotten crazy busy. As we both work in the medical field, its hard to have a puppy with you no matter how good he is. We were hoping Victor would still have enough office time that he could take him, but it just hasnt panned out. We were not able to give Jenson what he needed. We went into this with a major goal of producing a working guide for someone who need him, and even though he is amazing in the house he needs to be just as amazing outside of the house.
So after a few weeks of talking and talking and talking we decided it was in his best interest if we sent him on to someone who could give him more outings. It was extremely hard!
A few things I will miss about him:
- his happy go lucky personality
- his big soft floppy ears
- his intense look when he is learning something new
- his head on my lap when we are out together
- his good morning greeting
- his beautiful black coat
- his amazing relieving skills
He is with an amazing raiser in Colorado. I am excited to see him progress even further. Good luck Big Boy Jenson!!

He's finally here!!!
Today finally came! We have been planning this for 6 months...We are so excited for the opportunity we have to raise a little pup for a year for Guide dogs for the blind! We feel it is a great chance to serve others and have fun at the same time! Anyways we drove down to SLC to await the "puppy truck." We got there early and had a picnic with our other puppy crazy people in our club. We did not have to wait long before the truck was spotted coming down the street 30min before we expected it! Then the fun began! We all stood by the trucks door like kids in a candy shop. We waited and one by one the driver called out our names and presented us with our charge! We had so much fun watching and waiting. Michelle, he called..this is your big boy "JENSON." My goodness he was so so big! He is only 11 weeks old. Needless to say I was hoping for a runt, but got a giant! We were the 3rd name called so we were pretty distracted for the rest of the distributions!
Anyway we finally made it home. This was the real test...introducing Griffin and Lady to their new foster brother... It actually has been going really really well! I expected lots of chaos and barking. We have had a little barking but things have been relatively smooth!
We are going to try and keep a weekly blog on Jenson's progress. We get him for a year so we are going to make the best of it and enjoy as much as we can! This week we want to just get him adjusted to our home and we want to get Griffin and Lady adjusted to him. Anyways here are some photos for ya! We will have more later. Today has been unforgettable!!!
Born To Lead's newest puppies! (Campbell, Wanda, Wynett, and Jenson!)
