Here's a picture of the famous "Dutchy boy" we adopted him last year. His real name is Dutch but Sarah has deemed him her Dutchy boy for a long time now. Had we not adopted him at a year old he surely would have been called something way cooler like...Neo or more likely Morpheus. My husband loves the matrix!
Dutch is a puggle which is a designer breed dog. This hybrid breed is produced by mating a female Beagle with a male Pug. Most puggles are fawn in color so he is a little more rare. He is a crazy little puppy with tons and tons of energy. He is full grown now at a whole 28 lbs. He's not gigantic by any means but 28lbs is slightly heavy for a lap dog that insists on giving you hugs.
Now you all have a clear picture in your mind for when you hear me refer to " that damn dog" or many of the other expletives that come flying out of my mouth on a daily basis. He is awful cute with his silly tongue hanging out itsn't he?

BEADED SOCKS



I CROTCHETED SARAH TWO PAIRS OF SOCKS LAST NIGHT. IT WAS NOT A BAD PROJECT BUT EACH SOCK DID TAKE AN HOUR TO COMPLETE. SHE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN SHE SAW THEM SHE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THEM UPSTAIRS TO HER ROOM. I MADE ONE SET RAINBOW AND ANOTHER ALL GREEN FOR SAINT PATS!

my love bug

'

I just wanted to share my beautiful daughters picture with you all. The last photo session we had cost me a small fortune. There were so many great poses that I actually resorted to calling in my husband for help. I knew he would spend way more than I ever would so I didn't have to feel guilty and he proved me right! He bought a huge package and a trilogy wall hanging. gotta love it!
