Polo Stu Turner

Ryan & I have been practicing our parenting skills on our little puppy, Polo.  He is 18 weeks old (1 week older than the baby growing in my belly) and has stolen our hearts.  We look forward to having him grow up with a baby to play with and protect. 

I know lots of photos of Polo, but with a face that sweet it is hard to resist!! Oh yeah- not to leave any thing out.  

Here's Violet too...

My first born and sassiest kitty I know.  Violet is Polo's favorite toy to play with and bother.  Thank goodness kitty cats can hide.  

Put your $$ Where your Mouth is!

A co-worker showed me this fun website today to allow people to bet on your due date.  Well of course I wanted to share the fun!!  

Note: If you bet 3 weeks after my due-date, I will harm you!!

We find out the gender September 12th!!
