Who Needs Dog Food When You've Got a Baby?

So, the other day I was getting ready to go to my mom's house and Claire had just woken up. It was almost 8am and I was letting Claire run around nakies to let her poor bottom air out. (She has had some sort of infection ever since summer hit and she started wear swimsuits) and I called my mom to let her know we would be a little later than normal. While I was on the phone, I looked over and I saw Claire standing on the carpet going poopy and I was like "ah! shoot!" but I couldn't do anything about it because I was on our non-brain cancer-causing-corded phone. Not two seconds after her business dropped to the floor, Harley came right up behind her and gobbled it down like it was a brownie and he hadn't eaten in days (when in fact I had fed him about 10 minutes prior). I am ashamed to admit that my first thought was not one of disgust but rather relief that I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning it up. Then, Claire did another poopy and that one hardly had time to hit the ground before Harley ate it. I was relating the events as they happened to my mom and I couldn't help but laugh as Harley sat with his nose close to Claire's bottom intently staring in anticipation. Yum!

Mother's Day - Take 2

My first Mother's Day was very special. In the morning I got up at 6am so I could get ready for church before Claire woke up. I went downstairs to find a few gifts for me from Josh. He bought a few scrapbooking items and had pictures of Claire printed up and put them in little picture frames and a little purse sized book. He also made me the most delicious cake (all chocolate of course) and let me tell you it was soooooo good. It looked very nice too. My early morning plans were thwarted when Claire decided to wish me a happy Mother's Day by waking up at 6:20.

At church I won a little vase of carnations for being a mom the least amount of time. I don't know why this deserves a prize but I won't win another one until I am either extremely old or we have more than 5 kids (one of these days Diane) That afternoon I went to my mom's to have Mother's Day there with the fam. We also celebrated Stephen's and Bryan's and my birthday. As usual Claire and the dogs were our source of entertainment.She went swimming with Uncle Didi and the dogs.It was a good day but also sad as we knew Uncle Buddy was leaving that week to be on staff at Summit ALL SUMMER. Claire will be talking by the time he gets back!Claire made a card for him that he will receive on his actual birthday. She worked hard on it and it turned out really well. I am sure he will appreciate it.
We will miss you Buddy!
