Ticking me off

Ahhh, a day of rest, I mean work!! So refreshing to clear my head with some real adult topics but I start to miss the potty talk, nap begging, snack preparing, and most important, the hugs and affection that are thrown in throughout the day! Then I remember that Nonie (and Popi) are getting the hugs and affection and all is well working again....Although - it is an awfully nice day to be stuck indoors in a hot office that doesn't circulate air properly.

Anyway, besides the usual 2 kids and one brewing, 3 dogs and huge family to keep us on our toes, life in general has been keeping us very busy. We have been fortunate enough to meet lots of new neighbors and we are delighted that there are even more kids than originally thought in our new neighborhood!!

Unfortunately, we are not so delighted that there are even more ticks than originally thought as well!! We have already found 8 and before you blame it on the pups, they were groomed and they had none!! They seem to be coming in off the kids after they play outside. So, we tick check like we are camping in the northwoods and we try to stay away from the wooded areas. Lake County is great despite the ticks and taxes!!
