Meet Murphy Gaunce

Murphy Lou Vaughn Gaunce

August 30, 2012

We have been lost since Carla's passing in June.  Daisie has been lost, Lucas still asks for her, Jim and I still catch ourselves calling for her.  She is the best friend we ever could have had and we will always cherish her.  

Now with Murphy we are retraining a puppy, expecting way too much too soon, and she has big paws to fill.  I hate to say that but she does.  Murphy has been great, she has asked to go out a couple of times, is getting used to the eating three times a day and sleeping in a crate.  

We picked Lucas up with her in the car and let him pick her name and now it fits perfectly.  He was so excited.  He absolutely loves her.  It will be so awesome to watch them grow up together.  

Daisie on the other hand is a little leary.  Me.......well she is trying to chew on my computer as I type.  Since my office has moved home I get to be the one home with Miss Murphy.  All is good except she loves to chew on my feet as I work.  I love it though.

Welcome home Murphy!

Camera Dump

With the business and life happening I have slacked on the blogging yet again.  I decided the best way to catch up is to dump all of my pictures from my camera and phone and then update!  It helps to remember everything too. 

So we will start with Pumpkins.  Oh my.  Pumpkins are a hit in the Gaunce family.  Over the entire month of October we had at least 8 pumpkins at one time.  Once the carving started of course some had to be thrown out but we ended up with 13 total.  A bit much but a ton of fun for Lucas and Jimmy. 

Luckily we still have a few of the pumpkins that have made it this long and we still get to see them.  Next is Christmas lights.  Whoa.  I am not sure I can handle that :)

Football Season!

Our beloved football team has seen better days but we still meet up with great friends to tailgate.  We have a wonderful group of friends that we get to hang out with even though the football is not the best.

Circus Time!

We took Lucas to the Circus for the first time and he had a blast! His favorite were the elephants and the tigers.  I think he liked the lights and music.  He was the best boy ever, clapping, cheering and not getting scared of anything.  He is the sweetest.

Every day is a great day with this little man!  He has all of these cute things that he says and does and I wish I could keep him this size all of the time.  He is so precious and so good.  They are thinking about moving him up one more class at school already, he says he is going to get big enough that his head will hit the ceiling one day, he says he wants to grow up and be a dad with a family and a beard. 

He loves hanging out at the shop and "working" with us. 

Oh he is growing too fast!!!!
