March Madness in Marietta

We have survived the storms that wracked Atlanta in good spirits and good health. Nathan finally got the lawn mowed, thanks to Unca Dave (after much trouble shooting, they determined Nathan was drowning the sucker in oil - problem easily solved). Jennifer started her new job earlier this week, and even at its worst, she gets home at a very decent hour - usually well before the kids go mad from hunger...well, the boy anyway.


Both mommy and daddy finally got to see the Primrose Pre-K arrangement of "Rock Candy Mountain" (you know, "where you can go to lunch in your underwear?" V will have to sing for you...).



One of our biggest bits of news is a new addition to the family - a temporary to permanent kind of thing. We visited a dog rescue center up in Floyd County - they had just rescued a border terrier mix and her litter of puppies a day before destruction. Jen sponsored her and the family has adopted her as a "foster dog" - we don't officially have her until she is fixed and other things are squared with the rescue outfit (http://www.dogpackrescue.com/ I think). We visited the rescue center the day before the first batch of storms rolled through and met her at a Petsmart in Acworth where we picked her up, along with a bunch of other stuff little dogs need (thus the cage if you roll through the trailing video slide show). Barring the possibility of Jen sneaking off to get one of her pups, this family is officially complete - mom & dad, son & daughter, the cats, and introducing: Miley. (Nathan argued for Mango, but unfortunately, Miley was mentioned first...Veronica is a budding Hannah Montana fan...).
