We survived week 1 with our puppy

So we have officially survived week one with the puppy (we have been calling Bailey “puppy” more often than not). All in all, I think it went a lot smoother than we expected. I don’t think it’s really hit me yet that we have a puppy in the house now, but we are getting into…

Puppy love

So I was surprised when I returned home today with my birthday present a day early. Meet Baily, the newest member of the Dewar family. So far he’s very sweet, loves to cuddle and every bit as whiny as you would expect a puppy just separated from mommy to be. So far the best antidote…

Spring soccer kick-off

So this weekend was the spring soccer kick-off. All the kids show up, along with all the kids and they evaluate them so that teams are balanced with strong players and weaker players so one team doesn’t totally dominate (although at this age, that’s almost a mute point since both teams typically all just run…

When I grow up…

Cailee told me today that when she grows up she wants to be a cook and a hair dresser. I don’t think she had the titles quite right – it was more like, “I want to make food and be a hair cutter” but I think that was her intent. Kinda funny to me that…

Our snowy belated Valentine’s

So we were lucky to get another snowy day this winter. This one caught me off guard, recall that my head has been in a computer lately so it’s not a surprise I missed this weather bulletin, but the warning signs were also non-existent (smells like snow, feels like snow, etc). It had been one…

My sweet life

So it’s been so long since I posted that I am not sure where to begin. The lack of updates is certainly not due to there being nothing going on – on the contrary – life has been nuts lately. I feel as if I have been straddling two jobs and failing miserably because it’s…

Allison’s 5th birthday party

This past weekend Cailee went to Allison’s 5th birthday party. Where does the time go? I still remember, like it was yesterday, when I heard Terri was pregnant with Allison – but then again, I can’t believe Cailee will be five herself in just a few months. The party was right up Cailee’s alley, it…
