Happy Thanksgiving

Our family wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We are so very thankful to have family visiting this year and hope it goes well.

I'm sure there will be a lot of this going on this weekend!

It's So HOT. . .

It's so stinkin hot & humid here this week that we haven't got much done outside. When we get home from work, I go feed the cats (we have 10! babies now).

And by the time I get back to the house, Charlotte's done her duty & is waiting by the back door!

(Momma please let me in, I'm HOT!)

Hope everyone else is staying cool!

A Royal Anniversary

On this day, April 29th, five years ago I was doing this. . .

While the world was watching the royal wedding this morning, the husband & I were waking up to begin our 5th year of marriage. These last 5 years have been a crazy ride with plenty of ups & downs, but I wouldn't change them for the world!

And now for one of my favorite pictures of our night. . .

Here's to FIFTY more wonderful years!!!

A Few Christmas Photos!

"Mommy! Put the camera down & HELP me! Grandma & Aunt Becca are being mean!"

"Ham, Ham, I want Ham & so does cousin Columbus, gimme some ham!"

"Please don't make us be in the same picture, we only like each other when food is involved"



Our Corgi Santa Gifts!

Charlotte & I participanted in a secret santa exchange for Corgi's this year. Our package arrived mid-December & I placed it under the tree with the other presents. Everyday Charlotte would sniff the box & give me the big sad brown eyes, "Please can't I open it mommy." After traveling for four days, we finally had time to open it on Sunday evening!

"Hmm, wonder what's in here"

"Something smells yummy in here"

"Yep I think I found it"

Charlotte received a Kong flyer, portable food bowl (upgrade from the current Cool Whip container), & yummy fruitables. I received the adorable "Real Corgis Speak Welsh" notecards that Ivy makes & sells in her etsy shop "Paper Elixir"!

Thanks Ivy & Bryson of http://www.thesenakams.typepad.com/, we LOVE it!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

First Snow of the Season

We finally had the first snow of this winter, although it was nothing to bark at or play in! By this time last year, we were tired of digging out & it just got worse through January. Now we're just hoping the weather stays nice so we can celebrate Christmas with our families this year!

Charlotte Turns 3!

In honor of Charlotte's 3rd Birthday, we decided to show you pictures of our "baby" when we first brought her home.

At 8 weeks old.

"I likes to take naps on my back!"

Can you see why it was love at first sight?

Happy Birthday Dear Charlotte!
