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!!

Sunday Sayings . . .



People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world your best and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It never was between you and them anyway.


-Mother Teresa
Have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday.

A Pleasant Surprise . . .


This morning we woke up to something that we haven't seen in a while ~ SNOW!! It's January and we live in New York so it shouldn't have come as a surprise but we haven't really seen any in about a month. We had a lot of rain last week and the temps have been above normal for this time of the year so everyones' lawn has looked like giant mud puddles. This is definitely not a good thing when you have a dog that lives for hole digging!! :)



It's amazing how an inch of snow can make everything look sooooo pretty again!!



















Thank you, everyone, for your kind words about our baby news. It really means a lot to me that people take the time to read my blog and leave a comment. I get excited when I see 25 or 30 people visiting my blog in a day. I can't imagine how people who get thousands of visitors and hundreds of comments a day feel!! :)





Happy Thursday to you all!!
