Ta-da! My homemade Flag Cake. An unusually thick batter and runny icing, but in this picture, it looks great :) Hope you had a good weekend!

More Moe
Here, he's probably 4 months old. The bone's bigger than he is.
The poor thing couldn't leave his stiches alone after his surgery, so we had to put him in the "cone of shame." Truly a pain for him and us.
He looks like a baby (or a little demon-check out the green eyes) here, and I've probably already posted this picture. He loved this bear...that is until he tore it to bits. R.I.P. State Farm Bear.

What I did this weekend instead of my homework...
Brian's a cat person, but I'm a dog person. We've got the cats covered, but now we have a dog, too! Brian got some good news at work, so he promised me a puppy:) Moe (not named for my workplace) is a 12 week old Australian Shepherd Mix that we adopted from the Perry Animal Shelter. I love dogs!
Moe & Me
Obi and Kenobi aren't too sure about Moe, even though he's not that big. Fluffed up tails.
The first meeting.
His first bath.
Demon dog. 
Getting his hair did.
All tuckered out.Moe has this whole Post-Bath Ritual.

Cat pictures and Brian's job
Hey guys, it's Brian. First some lovely pictures of the boys.
We like Marie's new bed
It's really comfortable
Her dog is another story
Ahhh, home again
It's nice to be able to sleep with a friend
No, daddy. It's UP, DOWN, A, B, X, Y, not Y, X
I'm ready for my bath
Yay! Charmin bag
Posing for the camera
And know on to the news.
We really enjoyed being able to be back home for so long. It was a welcome refreshment. If we didn't get to see you, we're sorry. We'll make sure to catch you some other time. Thanks to our family for putting up for us for so long.
Now the real news. As some of you may know, I've been having a lot of trouble with my job recently. I've gotten in trouble a few times (nothing major) as well as me and my superiors have disagreed on a few things. We've prayed for a solution for some time now, and for better or worse, God has decided to answer our prayers. On Wed, Jan 14, 2008, I was called into my commanders office and handed discharge paperwork. It is a General discharge, under honorable conditions, for those of you who know what that means (Google can be very helpful if you don't). We're in the process of finding out what all benefits I will retain as I go to my outprocess appointments. We plan to stay in Georgia so that Jeanette can finish her schooling, so I'm currently looking at job opportunities that will allow us to survive till then. I have been told that it will be the end of this month or the beginning of next month when the paperwork will be completed and I will officially be out of the Air Force. We know that God will take care of us and we thank all of you for all past and future prayers for us. We are both excited and anxious about the coming days. Hope is springing anew in my life, and we cannot wait to see where it may lead. And though we do not know what God has planned, we joyfully wait to see it come to fruition, and will praise the day that it does.

Joyeux Noël!
Hi, Guys!
No pictures right now. We're not avid picture takers yet. Maybe when we have kids...anyway, this Christmas has been great. We've gotten to visit with both sides of the family for a week each, and we're looking forward to going to Austin for New Year's to see my best friend, Amanda. And while the economy is the worst it's been since WWII (this was reported on some news channel), my side of the family has been blessed by the presence of my brother at Christmastime. His story is a long one but one filled with many blessings.
By the way, if you've tried to call Brian lately, he now has a phone that works.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Love,
Jeanette (and Brian)
