This young lad has a new obsession. Its not eating or trying to fit in small toys, but Cocoa. My parents are babysitting a give-away female dog with 5 puppies and Ray named the mother (a dachshund) Cocoa. She is a very sweet dog and allows Ray & Trip to bathe her puppies. Savannah likes to carry the puppies around (they are probably 6 weeks old now). Colt likes to talk to the puppies but he is really obsessed with Cocoa. He demands that the dog follow him around at my parents. He even named his green dinosaur Cocoa (and makes barking noises for the dino). Casey convinced me that Colt could be scarred from this sort of confusion. So, we bought a stuffed Cocoa (my parents are still trying to give us the real one). This quiet, poopless, content animal goes everywhere with us!

I think Cocoa was eating breakfast with us here. Great addition to our family.
I'm finally finished with my unusually large built-ins. They have been painted (4 coats) and I put mat board in the back. I was recently given a lot of Poppy Trail china by Metlox and fits perfect in my dining room. I have few more boxes to unpack and I'll be set! A new chandelier is on my wish list!

This is the cabinets before...

I am off to the lake for the weekend. All the Colley girls are staying for the weekend. No babies or boys! Yeah!
