Go Rest High...

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Happy 9th/63rd Birthday to our sweet Maggie!

TGIF!

Aren't they sweet?  I have spent the afternoon listening to them bark at the dryer and watching Ruger open our DVD player with his nose.  Never a dull moment.

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Darlin'

4 month re-cap: Post #1

Nice to see ya.  I fell off the blog wagon.  I'm trying to get back on.  Trying.  The best way for me to catch you up on the past four months is through some wonderful photos! Get ready for photo overload!

December 2010:

I baked cookies.  And burned them.

Ruger - 3 months old.

We looks at his paws daily - trying to imagine how big he will be.

Ruger after shots at the vet.  Kind of nice to have him so calm.

Christmas was here.

My sweet husband made me pancakes for Christmas morning breakfast - topped off w/ NC Apple Butter and Papa Joe Burnam Honey. :)

And then, Christmas was gone before we knew it.  I won't tell you how long it took for me to put the tree back into storage. :/

Up next - January 2011...

Christmas Card Time = Family Photos

So even though most of our pictures with the dogs looked like this...

 

we were still able to get some really good shots.  Shout out to Melissa for taking some amazing photos for us!

Below are some of my favorites from the shoot.  I have recently learned how to use Photoshop Elements so I had fun editing some of the pics.

 

I always enjoy sending out Christmas cards and I really like getting them (let me know if you need my address). :)  It's just one of the many fun traditions of Christmas!  Below is this years card followed by the previous two years.  I thought it would be fun to take a look back and see the changes - hair, weight, etc. :)  Thanks goodness I've got Alan (and the pups) around me to help me look better!

Christmas is right around corner.  I am proud that I got my cards out earlier this year.  Don't wait until the last minute to get everything else done like me!
