Saying Goodbye to Holli

My parent's got Holli for my brother during my first year of college. She was a REALLY naughty puppy. She got into the garbage constantly.  My mom said that Holli made her cry every day when she was a puppy. But we all loved her. Once she grew out of the puppy stage, she was a very sweet dog and became my mom's rand hand gal. She followed my mom all over the house every day. We recently had to say goodbye to the old girl. Even though she was my brother's dog, I know it's been hardest on my mom. Here's a few highlights from her little sendoff gathering.

Goodbye Holli. We'll miss you pup!

A look back at our (eternal) Winter and Spring

Apparently I only blog once per season now and here is the reason: I'm a working girl now. I have a part time job that I'm fortunate enough to do from home. I'm super glad that I still get to be home with Max, but let me be real with you for a minute. Working from home is HARD. Crazy hard. I'm home, but I don't get to do any home kind of things. So my house is a nasty pit which frankly drives me bonkers. Except my kitchen. My excellent husband cleans the kitchen every night. AND he makes me cold brew coffee. My life would be terrible without him.

Enough of the jibber jabber. Here are exactly one million pictures for you to enjoy.

A look back at our crazy fall

I realize that it's January, but I wanted to take a moment and look back at our crazy fall. It was so crazy that I didn't have a chance to document it! And since this is my online journal of sorts (I write in my real journal about twice a year!) I didn't want to just skip it all together. Whatever, I don't have to explain myself to you, internet!
