Oh, Rufus

I am thinking of changing the name of this blog to "What did Rufus do now?". The subject matter could include him shattering the 9 x13 glass pan on the counter to get to the brownies (not a cut on him and not a brownie to be found) on Monday or chewing a hole in the bag of dog food and eating until he couldn't possibly ingest another bite (he was visibly larger, the line that curves in after his ribcage was just straight) tonight.

In other news, Corinne has been crawling for over a week. She seems to be enjoying herself as long as one of her parents are in sight. She is not as happy if she can not see us and seems to be experiencing some significant separation anxiety.

Laughter is the best medicine

Corinne is officially on the go...and she laughs.

I hope this made your day. It makes mine.

Spring Will Be Here Soon

I smile every time I see the bunch of sunflowers in the family room. They hold the promise of warm sunny days, and the world around us coming back to life with Spring. We can not wait. I am excited for Corinne to swing for the first time outside. She has a bathing suit ready for water class and I just got her a silly bikini (and cover up, don't worry) for the beach.

Corinne still has a runny nose. She seems to be feeling pretty well. She is getting back on track going down for naps. It has made a world of difference in our house. Kevin was home today to visit the dentist. Now, I know this is not a fun reason to be home, but it was so wonderful to have an extra day together. We got a lot done, everyone even took a nap. It was great. I went out for fondue with the ladies and Corinne and Kevin had a lovely night at home.

Tomorrow Grannie comes home from her Denver visit. Corinne and I are going with she and Grandpa to visit Golden Retriever pups and to select the puppy they will call their own. We are looking forward to it. Maybe there will pictures of the little one with the little pups in the future.
