We are excited to announce a new addition to our family....yet another Howell boy! Bogey is a 4 month old golden retriever puppy. Ethan has been asking for a puppy for months now, I've had my heart set on a golden and finally we wore Brian down enough to say "yes". Bogey has been with us for about a week and a half. I feel like he's already doubled in size. (see the pictures below, the first one is the day we brought him home, the second is ONE WEEK Later) He is 42lbs already, so he's going to be a BIG dog. He thinks the kids are just new littermates and he plays with them just like he would other puppies, jumping and chewing. We're trying to break him of those bad habits, and I think he's coming around. Although not fast enough for Ethan & Brady's liking :)
In other news, Ethan had his first T-ball game last weekend (I think Brian was more excited than E). He seems to be enjoying it and loves to play defense. It's so cute to see someone hit the ball and you have 15 four year olds running to get it and end up in a big pile.
On the house front, no news yet. We still haven't sold, despite changing our real estate agent, dropping the price and doing some additional staging. We're pretty frustrated and plan to give it until we get back from the beach in September then we'll take it off the market and try again next year. We were really hoping to move this year, but it might just not be in the cards for us. Luckilly our builder has been great, and we still have our house in Millbridge waiting on us if we are able to sell this one.
Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to be better about posting updates. We have our annual beach vacation coming up in a few weeks, so you'll definitely see some pictures from that.
Take care!
Love,
Brian, Michelle, Ethan, Brady & Bogey
