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.

Or the time that dog ate a hole in the wall, or our linoleum, or the carpet, or our banister, or the fleece blanket, or that whole pizza, or the countless garbage's she has gotten into, all of which I got to pick up off the lawn at a later time... For some reason all those times feel like the good times (in retrospect).
ReplyDeleteOr when she ate: my gun case, my boot laces, the piece of Guatemalan pottery my brother sent me, that hole in the door. Or the time she rolled in the fresh cow pie and the time we took her fishing and she dragged that boulder into the lake.
ReplyDeleteAh Quinn you know you love her.
ReplyDeleteDogs are the best...and by best I mean really annoying. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd your kids are adorable.
I think the same thoughts about my dog - I would hate to not have her here, but at times I am really annoyed by her.
