Hello everyone!!!

The weather down here in Georgia has been really awesome!!! Sorry - I don't mean to rub it in - he,he,he!!!

The last few days the temperatures were in the low to mid 80's and when it's nice here the whole family loves to be outside - that means I don't get much stampin' done!!!

We also had to do a lot of yard work and spring cleaning!!! But I have some photos I'd like to share with you. You all haven't seen our *puppy* Luke in a while and let me tell ya - he is not that little anymore - LOL!!!

He is a little over 9 months now and still very rambunctious!!! Boxers don't really settle down until they are about 3 yrs old....at least that's what we have experienced!!!

Here is photo from our little Miriam. We had Pre-K sign up they other day at our local school and this past Tuesday was the drawing to see *who* made it into the 20 spots they have available...well Miriam's number was #21 - that means she is the first one on the waiting list!!!

So hopefully everything will work out and she can attend the public school and ride the bus with my middle daughter?!?

Isn't she stinkin' cute??? I'll be doing the *HAPPY DANCE* the day she starts Pre-K - LOL!!!

Have a great week!!! Hugs~Silke~

Puppy *Luke* and some awesome RAK's

If been wanting to update you on our little puppy.....

Here is our *Luke*. He is 3 months now.

He has grown so much and gained 16 pounds since we have him.........We are switching him to *big* boy food soon!!! The Vet thinks he'll be at least 80 pounds.....he has his body from his daddy and his pretty face from his mommy!!!

Luke loves to hang out with my girls. In the picture is my oldest Sarah (right), her friend Tiff (center) and our little Miriam (left). Can you tell Luke loves to be the center of attention.....????

Next I want to show you some gorgeous cards some of my blogger friends have mailed me. I feel so blessed to have found such awesome friends thru SCS - THANK YOU LADIES FOR THINKING OF ME - IT REALLY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!

Jessica Rone

Every one know how super sweet my friend Jessie is and I feel soooooo super rotten, because I have received so many of her gorgeous cards and I have not gotten of my lazy big ....to mail her one back.....!!!

Not any more - Jessie - mail is on the way - LOL!!!

Janette Olen

This card made it to my house this week and I was so thrilled about it , because Janette has thought of me after finishing this card and mailed it off - plus she had to do some serious research to find my address.......isn't that nice???

Denise Marzec

Over the last couple of weeks I have received a couple of Denise's gorgeous cards. I'm so blessed that I have met her over on SCS and we have been friends ever since. If everything works out - we both finally get to meet each other in January!!! WAAHHOOO!!!

Clara Sanchez

She has made this beauty for me as a *Thank You* note for winning one of my past Blog Candies.

Amy Sheffer

She has made this gorgeous card for me when I was the Featured Stamper in April . How super cool is that - I have an Amy original - LOL!!!

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share all this with you!!!

Have a great Sunday!!!

More Pictures of Luke!!!

Hey everyone!!!

I'm heading off to Charleston, SC for one night.... I have an *INS* appointment early tomorrow morning to have my *Green Card* extended!!!

Since I have not had time to stamp - I thought I'd show you some pictures of *Luke* again. He is 9 weeks old and he has his Vet appointment right now....That boy eats like a horse and grows like a weed - LOL!!!

Can't wait to find out how much he gained??? We are so happy to have him in our lives!!!

He even developed an attitude too - he,he,he - plus he is sassy - he fits right in with the girls - LOL!!!

See you soon!!!

Please allow me to introduce.....

Our sweet little *Luke* - the newest addition to our family!!!

He is a 7 week old Boxer puppy and let me tell you - all the Ledlow-Girls are in love with him - LOL!!!

Some of you probably remember that we had lost our almost 14 year old Boxer *Rico* in April and I still miss him so much!!! But I guess my family was ready to move on and I'm such a *SUCKER* when it comes to puppies - LOL!!!

This little guy reminds me so much of *Rico* - same colors and he is also *stinkin'* cute!!!

We were able to have *Luke* yesterday evening. He is the biggest (11 pounds) out of the litter and he was completely weaned of his momma. Thank goodness his parents are our neighbors... so if we'd had a problem we could have called...

Little *Luke* is very good in letting us know when he has to go outside. We played so much that he slept very good last night...we'll see how things go tonight???






I have to admit it feels great to have a a friend around again!!!

Let me know what you think of little *Luke*???

Thanks for stopping by and for letting me share the excitement with you!!!
