Dinner Guests and Doggie Surgery . . .

Last night, we had three of our most favorite people in the world over for dinner. My sister in law and our two beautiful nephews blessed us with their presence for a few hours. Jim cooked a wonderful dinner and, if I do say so myself, I made a mean salad and dessert. I was in the mood for pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Apparently so was everyone else because there was nothing left by the end of the night!!

My poor baby nephew had three shots earlier in the morning so he wasn't feeling very well. We got some belly laughs and a few toothless smiles out of him but he really just wanted to be held and comforted by his Mommy.

Andre, our three year old nephew, had a blast with his cousins, as usual. We think he's becoming more used to the dogs, too, which is a wonderful thing.

I guess it's kind of difficult to be intimidated by a dog that looks like this. Poor Sparky had surgery yesterday morning and has to wear a cone on his head for a week.

We're praying that this curbs his desire to do those "things" that male dogs like to do before they're fixed. : ) I'll keep you posted. HA HA!!

Happy Thursday to you all!!

Sharing the First Dinner of the New Year . . .

. . . with loved ones, has to be the most perfect way to begin the new year.

We also love my sister-in-law Michelle but I don't think she'd appreciate any of the pics I took of her. : ) Unfortunately, the shots that she took with my "seen better days" camera didn't come out. At least I was able to share some memories and the rest we each have in our heart forever. We love you so much, Michelle, Andre and Jason!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXO

Many blessings ~ Wendy
