Our dog's passing

I forgot to mention that our dog, Jackie, died last month. She had a type of leukemia that comes on very suddenly (within 1-2 weeks). She couldn't keep her food down and when she got to the point of not being able to drink, we had to decide to put her to sleep. That is on my top 10 list of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I'm not going to put my list here because it is a doozie. Some of you know about my history with pregnancies. That is all I'll say. I know that at least Jackie didn't have to suffer any more. Her doggie angel day is Jan. 11 which is the same angel day as our son, Francis. Coincidence?

officially behind...

Ok. I'm officially behind now. It's been 2 months since I've updated. With all the holiday bustle and winter allergies and colds, there doesn't seem to be enough time. Lets see..... Theresa's lost her 2 top teeth. She looks so cute. Little Harvey's new trick is to scoot around on his belly. That little guy is FAST. One minute he's on the left side of the room and the next it's the right. I can't say how many times he's gotten hold of paper and we had to get it out of his mouth! My husband is doing great. He still likes his job. I still have my job. My supervisor got let go last week as part of a downsizing/retirement/layoff. Whatever you call it, he's gone which leave lots for me to tie up. I'm happy to still have my job and have support to get by so it's not too bad. I shouldn't complain, but I'm only human. I'll eventually get around to more photo posts, but that will have to wait until later.
