Two mornings ago at about 5:30am Penny and Smiler ran away! I was woken up by Matt yelling for Penny and I didn't like it. By then Matt had already caught Smiler but Penny was lost. Either someone had opened our gate in the night or Penny somehow got the latch up by a luck. I don't like either option. I just knew I would find Penn ran over on that busy road out front and I was so scared. We called for her for like ten minutes but it was windy and dark and it got us nowhere. So Matt decided to go driving looking for her and I stayed out front still convinced she would get ran over. But within ten minutes of leaving Matt called and said he found her! :) I ran all the way back home for her. She was wondering about eight houses down, lukcily that house has two dogs so there were enough interesting smells for her there. I'm just so glad we found her and she decided to go into someone's yard instead of the road or the woods. And that she actually comes when we call her (as long as there's not another animal involved), because had it Smiler we actually do need to run and tackle her to the ground because she's a punk.
Now they don't get to even be in the fenced-in yard without supervision. Which of course means it's me watching them everytime they're out, but I'm okay with that as long as they're safe.
In better news, I got a Kindle!! I had been wanting one for quite some time but not knowing whether to really get one or not. But I finally did and I loooove it! What finally did it for me is that you can now 'check out' books from our library on the Kindle through their 'digital library'. The selection isn't as big, but they still have all the popular books plus some so it'll probably fit my needs just fine.
Oh, and last week some kind person sent us two $100 giftcards to Cub! Cannot believe it! Inside it just said, 'Tracie and Matthew, Just wanted to bless you'. Cutest, nicest thing ever, huh?? No return address and no sign off. And it is such a blessing as we're trying to save up as much as we can with the baby on the way, especially when we really don't have enough money to begin with. We just thought it was so nice and wanted to tell everyone if we couldn't say thanks to the person themselves.
We got a couple good weekends ahead of us: This weekend we're going to AppleFest either tomorrow or Sunday, and next weekend it's Tenth Avenue North concert and grandparents visit and we're going to the apple orchard with the roaming little piglets! Can't wait!
