A New Iversen! A New Iversen!

Ha! Gotcha, didn't I? LOL

Nope, it's of the four legged kind. My brother had to give away his beautiful English Yellow Lab and we decided to take him. He's a beautiful blond haired, dark eyed, 85 pound boy named Charlie who is VERY docile and VERY, VERY trained. He knows so many commands, it's unreal.

Not sure how the 3 furry little four legged cats will take to him, but he could care less of cats. I'm hoping we can all live and let live without bloodshed. *please Lord*

Charlie has already met the kids at their Aunt Kim's house and the kids LOVE him. He is really good with the kids. He is enough to knock you over with just his tail, much less the rest of him. He's a cutie pie though.



MATTHEW UPDATE:

Matthew didn't have the best weekend. He was stung by a wasp, not once, but apparently twice. Dad removed the stinger. Matt screamed bloody murder, literally. The wasps came out from our walk up ramp from the driveway. 4 of them. Not only that. We dealt with that ok, but this morning, Matthew woke up with one side of his head HUGE!

He was bitten by a bug. Most likely a mosquito? We put meds on it and sent him to daycare as he was fine and jumping around like normal. Well, around 2:45pm, they called. His head was bigger than when he came in. So Daddy took him to the doctor. A bug bite. (yeah, we knew that) He is on Benedryl and Hydrocortisone. If this doesn't get it down soon, we might have to take him in again.

I tell ya, having Chinese children, and mixing bug bites with them isn't a good thing! Mosquito bites leave scars on the kids. I hate it. I really do. We are praying his head goes down. It's the left side of his face. (cleft side, of course) It doesn't hurt him, but it's just big. Looks like he has a mouthful of something on that side. :o)

Anyway............pictures of Charlie and the kids will be forthcoming. Stay tuned!
