Been awhile....

Since Joey has been home, everything seems to be a whirlwind of activities! Time is just flying by. I wish time would of gone this fast when he was gone and would slow down a bit now that he is home!
But I am so thankful he is home and that we are able to be a family again!

Here is an update of what we have been up to:

~Joey and Duke reconnected and I believe their bond is even tighter now

~A new addition has been added to the Ross Family: Molly (a black lab)

~We traveled home to Wisconsin where we got to enjoy:

**Both of our families

**Got to see Katy in her wedding dress and she looked BEAUTIFUL (can't believe she is getting married) and tried on a bunch of bridesmaid dresses! Can't wait till their very special day!
**Went up north for almost a week, which was just what we needed. It was just Joey, Duke, and I getting to go to our favorite place together and just spend much needed alone time together with no demands put on us! Thank you Mom and Dad Ross for letting us be able to enjoy the cabin...we are very blessed!

**Enjoyed a very fun night with some great friends! Thank you Roeder's for letting us come and hang out! Eli is way to cute for his own good!

**D got to meet his new Momma! Holly and D both seem to be enjoying each other and we are very glad we were able to give D to a good home! Holly will be a great Momma to my little man!

**My parents threw us a great party where we got to hang out with some family and friends. It was so great to see everyone and so nice that we did not have to go chasing to see everyone! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great party, it meant a lot to us that you did it!

~We have been taking many trips to the Lake to help cool us all off as it is still very warm out

~Met some new friends

~Been working on the house a lot-Joeys big project is painting the trim on the outside of the house! Looks so much better so far! Pictures will come when it is all finished!

~We have started watching the show the office and have become quite addicted and perhaps it is our new favorite show!

~I am back to work and so far it has been a very busy year!

AND

~We just had a WONDERFUL visit from Mom and Dad Ross! Great to see them and spend time with them, but very hard to say goodbye!
