Its been a long time

I haven't updated anything in so long!!! We went to the fair (which I LOVE, LOVE LOVE) and want Von to feel the same way!!! Chris was a trouper and went with us.. We went to the petting zoo and feed the sheep, goats and cows. Von loved it!! It wasn't scared at all.. After we were done with the petting zoo, off to the sinks to scrub our selves down!! Then out came the purell!! Von is a HUGE fan of putting his hands in his mouth... So I wanted to make sure that he was clean. We saw some friends there and hung out with them. Von ate his first ever cotton candy!! At first he had his mouth closed so tight. He thought I was trying to feed him poison!!! I had to force some in his mouth.... after he stopped crying he found that he really liked it!! We at some good fair food and then limped back to the car.

We are finally all moved. It has been a very long emotional and physical job! We have a cute little house now. I don't know how I collected so much crap!!! I have made several trips to the Youth Ranch to donate my "crap". Then have a porch full of "crap " at the old house they are going to pick up and more at the new house!! Going from a large home to a smaller home is a challenge... but it is nice to not have to go all the way across the house in the middle of the night when Von is crying!! I think the dogs are finally settling in.

Chris is LOVING his new job! He is learning pressure points and some take downs. He thinks I am his subject to practice on at night!!!! He is covered in bruises and today he gets pepper sprayed in the face so he knows how to handle it should he be in a situation. He graduates on Sept 24th and then off to the prison he goes.. I am nervous, but I know he will be ok! He is a superhero!!!

We are leaving for WA to see my family tomorrow after work..... ugh..... I hate driving!! :-) well I will be sleeping!! We plan on getting there about 2 in the morning and will leave to come home on Monday morning.

Von is as cute as ever!!!
