The week's happenings

Matt took Samson to the vet on Tuesday and everything looked good. He just needs one more set of shots in 3-4 weeks (at which point we can FINALLY take him for walks!), and then get neutered soon after that. We also gave him his first bath this week and now he is so white and soft and fluffy! I just can't get enough cuddles with him now :). Although we also learned that all those tan patches that have appeared are really his coloring and not dirt. Potty training is going really well, as long as we stay on top of letting him out often enough and paying attention to when he's sniffing around to go. The only accidents he's had all week were once when he was scared and once when we forgot. Right now he is sniffing and burrowing his nose into his blanket that we use for him to lay on and cover his cage with... I just washed it and it must smell pretty good to him! Samson has once again, learned some new things to make our lives more difficult... he can now jump onto a kitchen chair and get on the table! This is how we found him when we were in the living room watching TV earlier in the week (notice how all the naughty things he does are while we're watching TV? Ha ha):

And since then, the chairs are his new favorite spot.

At work this week we took a field trip to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. I was kinda dreading it and the chaos that it was sure to be. But we had enough parents come and drive that they only had to keep track of 2 kids each and us teachers kept track of 3, so it wasn't so bad. They have so much fun stuff there! I want to go back with a couple kids (not with the daycare) so that I can play with all the cool stuff too. They had a whole exhibit/section with the Blue Man Group as its theme. So it had all kinds of stuff with sound and light.

I worked a 45 hour week this week, so I was SO ready for the weekend.... and because we got to go bowling with Zach and Sarah. We got this awesome coupon for 10 games at 99 cents each, so we took them and had a blast. We were also celebrating with them because they just bought a house! And even more exciting... it's only 0.7 miles and a 2 min drive away!!! I can't wait for spring/summer walks over there, bbqs, and lots of opportunities to hang out :).

Matt is on spring break this week, it started on Friday. He has some jobs around here to get done, a unit on rocks to plan, resumes/applications to get out, a few days/nights of work at Costco, and plenty of time to sleep in and play video/computer games. He deserves this, he's been such a busy guy lately!

Not much news on the job front. Matt will be getting a lot more resumes and stuff out this week. We are starting to look around GR a bit too for openings as a back up. Please keep us in your prayers and that something will open up and for discernment in what to do.

We love our puppy!

Kisses!

Our family :)
