PUPPIES

Dillie Finally had her Puppies! After nearly a week of sleepless nights, Sunday was the day. She ended with 6 total. 3 Boys 3 Girls, we thought she was done after 4 because she had those 4 puppies in two hours and then went about 5 hours without anything else. After Church we took her to the Vet to get an injection which stimulates Uterine Contractions and flushes everything out; well two more puppies came out with everything else.
Rob saved one, it wasn't breathing and we still don't know where the Sac or the afterbirth went, she just came out, Dill must have been quick on that one, but Rob rubbed her belly and shook her a bit and out came a bunch of Gross stuff, and now she is fine.
They are adorable and loud; actually they sound like ats right now. Dill is a little overwhelmed but being a very good mommy. So if there is anyone out there who is interested in a Christmas Puppy let us know, they go fast.

And keep checking back for updated pics because they just keep getting more and more adorable!

Puppies!!!

We will be having some puppies soon, just in time to sell for Christmas!!!! The kids came over the other night to see just how big Dillie is getting, which for her is huge, I think she is even beating Sarah out!! Sage has volunteered to help deliver the pups and I just might take her up on that she has done such a great job babysitting (thanks Bridget) them in the past I know I can count on her. There are some pictures below, some of which Bailee is screaming in, and in case your wondering why she was yelling at Joshie for standing too close to her! Then there are pics of Deva who is our adopted dog for the time being, she is beautiful and a lot of fun, and bailee is in love with her. She told me that even out of sky(who is their dog) Deva is her favorite!!! We will add some pics of the puppies when they come, should be Wed. or Thurs.

Welcome Home Elder Marsh

Well it has been a while since we have had access to the Internet so we obviously have not been able to blog and a lot has happened since our last posting but we will just pick back up with one of our favorite happenings over the last month or so. On October 21st Rob's little Brother Richard came home from his mission. He was serving in Houston Texas and yes he met "IKE"...or better known as hurricane "IKE"! He had quite the experience living in a stake center for nearly two weeks, bathing in the baptismal font with no hot water, and no power yet he still compares this to staying at a Hilton, I think it was his favorite part of the mission. Everyday they were bused into areas where they could serve the community. It is fun to see his face light up as he tells the stories of how grateful people were to have someone come remove the trees down in their yards, or cover the holes in their roofs. He said the first question they would always ask was "How much are you charging?" and you can tell it made the experience even better for him to be able to say, "nothing and explain who they were and why they wanted to help.

We are so proud of Richard and so glad to have him home, 2 years is a long time and 40 pounds later is a lot of meals we missed! We love you Richard-Welcome Home!
