Sunday, Bloody Sunday





I just have no idea why Murphy was embarrassed to walk the dog with me this past Sunday. I think Cash was a little embarrassed too.




The red didn't work, we got stomped by the only undefeated team in the NFL.

Peace, We has it!




The baby gate remains open almost 90% of the time now! All boys are sniffing each other appropriately and behaving great together. It is such a wonderful feeling not to have my house divided anymore!

Two 12hour shifts down,

One to go,

All back to back,

Give me strength.

100 Things =)

ok, so this is all Tara's fault. If it weren't for her I wouldn't even know you are supposed to post a 100 things post! (Thanks Tara:) This was really hard, and at times very emotional.
