A new member of the family

I didn't thing it was possible to squeeze one more thing into this house, but yet again my children have surprised me by attempting the impossible. Bret found a litter of pups on a furniture delivery and was sure that one just had to be ours. She is very cute and I am too much of a softy to say no. So now in addition to a cat we are now owners of two dogs. How did this happen! I am not really even an animal person. Oh, well Bret has named her Sammy and we are adjusting to life as a multipet family. So now we have a cat, two dogs, four kids, a million little daycare kids and all their toys and clothes and stuff. All we need now is a partridge in a pear tree. I guess I should just be glad that Scot finally has the shop and the shop inventory is no longer in my bedroom.

I can't believe I am blogging

This is a first. I actually am checking set up a blog site off my to do before I die list. ( My expectation in life are not extremely grand at this point) Well this is the first installment fo the acton family blog. I hope this will be a place to learn about the happenings of our large family. Kari and I also wanted this to be like a student run school paper for homeschool. We will just dwell on the fact that the blog was actually created and go for the rest later
