Oh it has been a busy Summer, Fall and now Winter! (well, almost Winter) I had great vision and big expectations of keeping the blog fun, interesting and updated but as you can see, it hasn't happened. Something about having kids, and working and well you know...life.
We're gearing up for Christmas although you wouldn't really know it by the looks of our house. No Christmas tree to be found, no decorations. I've had several people make comments like "oh you have kids, you HAVE to decorate!". Well, ya, i'd like to decorate. But well, you see, we have this dog. I would show you a picture but I think I have one. She doesn't sit still a whole lot except to sleep. And she's a puppy. Still. And anyone who has had a puppy knows what puppies do, they chew. She has ruined countless pairs of MY shoes including Birkenstocks, my favorite pair of Bass brown boots and Nine West heels. She has basically ruined any shoe that matches any pair of pants that I like to wear to work. And I suppose I could sort of handle that. I mean, it does give me a reason to shoe shop BUT I don't exactly have loads of cash floating around for a trip to DSW to replace my shoe wardrobe. At least it is now Ugg boot weather and she has yet to chew those. And God be with her if she does. The other day I got home first with the kids. Matt was working late and I walked through the door figuring i'd find the usual chewed up piece of paper she found somewhere and maybe a toy that didn't make it behind a closed door. But nope. Didn't find that. It may have been there but I couldn't see it under the pile of feathers and foam that WAS the couch cushion! She shredded a whole couch cushion. So here's where i'm going with this; I'm not in the mood to clean up shredded Christmas tree this year and spend my evenings saying "Nathan, NO, don't touch" so the tree will have to wait. Don't worry, we'll still have presents!!!
We took the kids to see Santa this year too! It was the first year and I wish I had the picture electronically in a format I could post on blogger. It was pretty sad. And kind of funny. I can remember being afraid of Santa and apparently my children are too. They both cried and it was almost impossible to even snap the photo! But they survived and Nana and grandpa were happy to be a part of the day. Here they are before seeing Santa:

Oh Amy, not the couch! I am permanently scarred by the damage our border collie inflicted on our house in the early days. She ate the entire couch in one afternoon while I was at work. A couch that wasn't even a year old. She ripped apart all the pillows. It was awful and I absolutely feel your pain. Since that day, she gets put somewhere with no furniture when we're not home and she does fine. I hope your puppy grows out of this phase!
Oh, and the kids are adorable, as always. :)
