Fall is my fav!

So far this fall has kicked off to a great start! 
Back when the weather started to cool off from the summer heat and the leaves began to change, my parents came out for a lovely 5 days to enjoy the foliage and get a glimpse into our daily life.

And when I say daily life, what I really mean is a lot of running around, seeing the sights and taking care of our boys.  Even still, we had a wonderful time at Cheekwood Gardens wandering around and enjoying the glorious weather.  

I was able to show my parents around our offices which had been renovated completely a couple years back and Dad took full advantage of our large conference room.

As far as the boys go - they're slowly but surely adapting to each other.  It's definitely taking some time and the constant energy and craziness of the choco-nut wears on the older boys, but they are getting better at accepting him. 

Since the lawncare business has started winding down and Doug (our employee) has been handling the majority of the work load, Jason started on a new and improved doghouse!  He started one years ago back when the pups were still pretty young and it would have ended up being WAY too small, so I'm glad he didn't get around to finishing it.  SO as you can see below, we've upgraded into a MUCH larger doghouse.  The frame is actually from the old aluminum shed we used to have.  He cut the side beams down by about half and has since walled it in with plywood.  The front half of the doghouse will be a covered front porch.  Then when he's finished, we'll paint it to match the house. Our boys are gonna love it!  And I'm blessed to have one talented husband! 

Remember this picture?

We took this when Jeep & Seven were only 9 weeks old! Look how cute they are!  It's been one of our favorite pictures of them, so we knew we had to get one of CJ in the same chair on the front porch too.

Doesn't CJ and Seven look so much alike?

They're very similar in personality too, which is nice cause Seven is way more patient with the little guy than Jeep is. 

Moving on, this weekend I'm heading out to "The Farm" for 2 days of relaxation, reading, sleeping, chocolate-eating and bonding with two very good friends of mine.  I'm stoked that I don't have to think about dog hair, dog poop or dog toys :-)  But I will miss them.  All 4 of my guys actually.
