Ada thinks this plush, soft, cozy, warm, awesome blanket belongs to her.   Every time I turn around, she is snuggled up with it like it belongs to her.   She manages to ferret it out and get it all … Continue reading →

Must.not.get.puppy.

Mom and Dad picked up their new puppy in PA this past week. They stopped here overnight. OH MY GOODNESS. THAT'S a cute puppy!   And it's dangerous, because the farmer has four puppies left. And Chad and I keep … Continue reading →
