Charleston Baby Shower

Six of my dear friends hosted a baby shower for us this past Saturday and we had a crowd! Everyone was extremely generous and Emmaline got a lot of fantastic things. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family and John and I are so appreciative. I will post pictures from the big event as soon as I get them from the "photographers" of the evening.

Happy Birthday, Alivee!

Wishing my friend Heather's little girl, Alivee a great Birthday! The picture is a little old but that just means that Heather needs to send pictures more often, hint, hint.

Daisy is one spoiled pup.

John was going to do some yard work last night after we both got home from a long day. Since I had already cleaned up several puddles I requested that Daisy and Roxy go outside with him. I laughed out loud when I looked outside and saw John hauling a load of pinestraw across the yard on the lawnmover with Daisy hanging out in his lap and Roxy sulking behind like she was being abused.

Augustus's 1st Birthday

We were in Norway over the weekend and had a late birthday celebration for my nephew Augustus. Birthday hats had to be worn by all of course.

A Very Rare Moment

Roxy and Riley are adjusting to having Daisy around and now that she moves a little slower she's not so annoying to them!

A baby is going to be a piece of cake!

Since Daisy's arrival we've been learning how to ensure our own sanity as well as the dogs. These new skills/requirements include, but are not limited to, picking up shoes off the floor, shutting doors we don't want puppies to have access to, barricading the stairs, removing the BIG water bowls, picking up pennies off the floor so they don't end up in puppy stomachs and making sure there is a constant and LARGE supply of dog-friendly chew toys and bones. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, accidents happen. This morning I was woken up at 6:30 by John asking for help because Daisy broke her leg. She was running across the yard and her leg got caught in a wooden crate........her body kept going. John had a meeting so off to the vet's office Daisy and I went. She was a great sport under the circumstances. One X-ray, a splint (which is more like a full leg cast) and $200 later, she will be as good as new in 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, we are supposed to keep this energetic, ticked off puppy still and quiet.
