Part 2 - Jan, 2011 (Chronological Catch-Up)

January means it's time for the
2011 Stony Point Rugby Season

Looks are deceiving... it was FREEZING!

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 Jared & Brittany decided to spread their wings and move north.

Way North... All the way to IOWA!

Several of Jared & Brittany's friends were here to say good-bye the night bfore they left.

Not an easy thing to say... so we're gonna stick with...

SEE YA LATER!

Brittany drove behind Jared and took this picture of Jared entering Iowa.

Isn't this a cute picture? 

Jared and Brittany were exposed to a very cold, wet & snowy winter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scott's weight keeps dropping!

 Look how Scott's pants have to be 'cinched' here!

Scott's losing weight very quickly. His stomach holds only about 4oz. so he doesn't eat a whole lot!

RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM RANDOM

 This is a typical look after supper.

 This is one of the ugliest smocks I could find at the Salvation Army.

I sent this picture to Madison as a threat to buy it since she wouldn't shop with me that day.

Once in a while I send a picture smile to a random person.

Consider this a warning.  You may be the next one get a smile from me!

 The above picture is self-explanatory.

WE LOVE TEXAS WINTERS!

We have PUPPIES

Molly was about ready to *pop* - or at least she looked like it.

The day Molly went into labor she was very lethargic.

She looked like this most of the day & one time I caught her sitting ontop of a pillow so she looked like a mama hen on her nest.  I suppose that's what the 'nesting' instinct looks like?  haha

About 8pm on January 20th Molly started having her puppies.

The County's Animal Shelter let us borrow a hard-plastic swimming pool so she could use it for birthing.

Molly let us sit quietly beside the pool and watch her giving birth.

It was AMAZING and SCARY and CRAZY.

And Dillon would remind us that it was STINKY (no lie, there was a distinct odor).

The vet told us we would probably have four puppies.

When puppy #5 came out we were amazed that Molly could hold so many!

Imagine how surprised we were when puppy #7 came out at 10:30pm.

That ALOT OF PUPPIES for such a little dog!

Molly is such a good mommy!  She instinctually knew how to give birth and take care of her puppies.

We had no idea how quickly we would fall in love with these little pups.

We spent EVERY spare moment in the 'Puppy Room' watching the pups.
