Two is better than one.
So it is finally out there, so it's official and I can talk about it on the Blog. The CEO is having twins! I mean the CEO and I are having twins. Yikes!!! It's gonna get really crazy around here come mid-March. These two little buggers were a long time in the making and we finally did it. In the process I've become an expert at sticking needles in to the CEO's bottom. This time around the shots were no big deal. Anyhow, I just wanted to get this out there. More to come soon.

Poor Boy.
I just finished measuring all the downstairs windows for screens. The CEO has someone coming on the 19th to install screens. I found that I can order and save more than 1/2 of what she was willing to pay. Anyhow, her mantra is "My guy is coming on the 19th, if you can have screens by then I'll cancel him." I think I'm going to make it.
We went to the coast with my in-laws this past weekend and had a great time. However, there was a dark shadow hanging over us while we were there because the moment we arrived we got a call from our friend that our dog had been hit by a car! Apparently he jumped her fence and tried to make his way back home I guess? He didn't get very far before he was hit by the car. Thankfully the police picked him up and brought him to the emergency animal hospital. Our poor friend felt horrible. The whole thing was a mess our dog had no identification on him our friend called the police and luckily they had picked him up because she was having no luck searching the streets for him. She rushed to the hospital to be with him and even called in her brother and sister to help out. She managed to contact me moments after we arrived at the coast (2 hours away). After speaking to the vet we decided to admit him to the hospital to get him on oxygen and have x-rays taken. They told us to call in the morning and they would have a better prognosis but the vet said his chances were fair to poor. We decided to stay the night at the coast for our own safety because I don't think we could have navigated the dark curving and street lamp-less one lane highway back safely. I don't think the CEO or I slept well at all. Thank goodness by the morning his prognosis had changed and things were looking up. He would need to be monitored for the next 24 to 48 hours but should be able to go home after that. On Sunday evening we finally got to see our boy. The poor guy looked pretty tired and beat up, bandages on his two front legs, breathing heavy but on the bright side he was vigorously wagging his tail when he saw us. We all headed home much relieved to have our best boy with us. He has since been to see our vet and his wounds are looking better and his breath is better and he's not limping like an old man any more. It looks like he should be OK. It would have been devastating to loose a second dog so soon.

Visitors Like Screens.
My In-Laws are in town, they are following a recent visit from my parents, who followed the CEO's cousin, who followed her sister. Every time a new visitor comes the kid has to give up her mattress and sleep on the air mattress. This time she even had to give up her bed frame. She's not happy about this and is complaining that she like to sleep high not low on the floor. The poor kid has probably spent six weeks on an air mattress.
It seems that a consistent complaint from all the visitors is that we have no screens on our windows. It bothers the CEO something awful. Perhaps the screens are suffering from the same fate that my former long hair suffered from. The more my family nagged me about it the more stubborn I was about keeping it long.
