Achilles boy

September 13, 2012~ Etc.

(this is one of my favorite things he does, every time I call his name, he tilts his head to one side and looks at me.)
Do you ever look at older pictures or videos of your children for hours?  I did that not long ago until 4 a.m. one night, and cried through it all.  Oh, why do they have to grow so fast?  And why do I bawl every time they show a kid leave for college on t.v or the movies?  My heart breaks thinking about how my two girls will leave us in 13-14 years.

But just the other day, I was looking at older pictures of our dog Achilles and boy, I thought my kids grow up way too fast, but puppies?  Why do they have to grow even faster?  I found these pictures of him when we had him for less than a month or so, and he was such a little bundle of fur!

Achilles kept chasing Ana which scared her quiet a bit.  It took Ana a little time to adjust to the new puppy, remember the first time she met him?
Still scared.  And a mommy who thought it was funny and took a picture instead of helping her.
Even though I wish he was little all over again, I think he grew up to be such a handsome boy.  I love him so much.

My love/hate relationship of being a blogger

September 5, 2012~ Etc.

I think I’ve said this before, but I never intended this blog to go so “public”.  Jay started the blog to document our family and our new baby for mainly us, and then family and friends.  Then when I noticed we got a small group of readers from many parts of the world, I got […]
