2012

Some things I don't want to forget about January 2012.

-Drying Lola's hair after her bath. I turn the thermostat up a degree so the heater comes on (she thinks it's magic). We sit on the floor of my bedroom and she puts her little feet on the heat vent and covers them up with my robe.

-Forrest lost his first tooth a few weeks ago. The space in his teeth gives him the cutest lisp.

-Eli's chubby legs. I cannot get enough of them. I just want to squeeze them and kiss them all day. He's a honey for sure.

-Right now I am (sloppily) patching a quilt that Quinn's mother made for us after we got married. I'm patching it because our psychotic dog ripped it up while using it in a game of 'be annoying with a tennis ball'.

I realized that I have spent that dog's entire life being really pissed at her and then loving her afterwards. She's beginning to ail and I have to wonder...when she's gone and I use the quilt will I look at the patches and lovingly remember all the good times we had (most of them pre-children of course) or will I just remember all the times she made me want to push her out of the car while driving by the humane society.

2011 Christmas Post

Yes it came and went. It was fantastic.

Highlights:

Now, this was a very big deal to some around our house.


Merry Christmas Pops.


Have you ever seen a cuter owl in your entire life?


Good old Santa did not forget to bring Ashes something.


Now if you'll excuse me I guess I had better go find a wire hanger because somehow the bathroom door got locked with the light on and nobody inside.
