The silly things that excite me...

I'm officially ready to start getting in the mood for Christmas. I had one of those shopping moments this weekend- look at those Christmas stockings! Aren't those the coolest stockings you have ever seen? A couple years ago I went to Tai Pan and bought funky green and red ornaments for my tree and decorations to go with it. Every year it reminds me of a tree from "Whoville" from the Grinch- it's so fun and different. I've always used these cheapo red velvet stockings because nothing really matched the other stuff...until now...these stockings were meant for our house! The silly things that get me excited! They're perfect in style and color and I just love them! So maybe the Christmas tree is going up early this year....

I had to post this picture of Shane and our little "poochie". Libby calls him that and it's stuck- so cute! This dog sleeps on it's back with it's legs up in the air. It is so funny. He loves to snuggle and for the girls to wrap him in a blanket and be held just like a baby! The girls always take him downstairs and he's usually in a stroller or they've made a bed in one of the drawers or he's in the shopping cart being pushed around. They love him and most of the time he loves them. He does however, run a little bit quicker away from Libby. It becomes a cat and mouse chase. I would probably run too if this big girl came running at me yelling, "Hey Poochie!" in her deep Jensen voice! I did find her the other day holding the dog and hand feeding him his dog food. I took this picture of her and yes she's wearing a diaper. That dog laid like that on her lap forever while she fed him. It was so funny! He's been a great little puppy. We love our little poochie!



The girls are off track and Sage's b-day is right around the corner along with all the holiday fun! Good times ahead! I do want to take a second and tell all of our family and friends how much we love and appreciate you. This week we will attend our second funeral in a week and it reminds us at how fragile life really is. We are so grateful to have such great family and friends who love and support us in all we do and we just want you all to know how much we love and care for you all! It's so important to find "joy in the journey" and to enjoy all the little moments in life! Thanks to you all for being such a big part of our lives.
