This can't wait until Saturday :0)

HI! I don't have a card to show today - man getting ready for Thanksgiving is really stressing me out this week! Maybe it is the fact that most of my bedroom and some of my craft stuff is in my Living room and Dining room still! LOL   We worked all weekend, it is looking so wonderful!!! Today is a major clean up day things must be put into place! And actually I worked a lot yesterday at unboxing and really got a lot done. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel - and we might have this all done and ready to show off to our family on Thanksgiving - now somewhere in there I do still need to clean the rest of the house, and cook a Turkey dinner with all the trimmings for 13 people.. but oh well somehow that will all come together. I hope!

So you see why I don't have a card today - but last night we put a deposit on something and I am so excited I just have to share!!! Now we may need our heads examined. Re-doing the house, new goats we hadn't planned on and now.....   We have put down a deposit on Libbie's boyfriend!!!!! He is so adorable! Just over 2 weeks old so we are about a month away from bringing him home - but we already are so excited!

MEET... Autie!!!

The breeder was kind enough to send me a photo of this adorable little guy... and I think I am already in love with him!  Cute or what?   We saw him last week when we picked up the goats.. but his eyes were not opened and he was super super tiny! I can't believe how much he has grown in one week!

Now if you are asking where his name came from... well Hubby is a huge history buff  and when we first got Libbie we knew we wanted a boy one day as well. We thought it would be fun to name them as a couple - we went through lots of historical couples through the ages... and then we came to "Libbie and Autie"  Who is that you ask?  LOL most people look at me with a blank stare and don't know who they are. They are the endearing family nicknames for Elizabeth and George Armstong Custer - she called him Autie and he called her Libbie - - - Long story for our odd names huh? But we like them... :0)

Have a wonderful Monday - back tomorrow with a real card! LOL

What a little sweetheart, Autie, looks to be. I love the story behind the names. Bet you can't wait to get him home. Try not to stress yourself too much over getting things done. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
God Bless!
