FLOWERS FOR MOM! Isn't Charlie sweet? I couldn't even be mad that he plucked them, right in front of me, after I had told him that the flowers need to stay in the ground. He is always saying the cutest things. Today he was listing the things he likes. "I like penguins, Lightening McQueen, macaroni and cheese, ... and you, Mom." Tom laughed and said, "Even if you are behind mac and cheese, at least you made the list!"

So, it has been a while since my last post... I just have issues with doing things on a regular basis, I guess. Even something fun like posting cute pics and stories about my little ones.

HERSHEY IS 1!

We are all doing great here, glad that spring is here and we are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather. We have spent a lot of time outside in the backyard as well as at the dog park. We now spell d-o-g p-a-r-k because the brown fuzzball gets so excited when he hears us say the words. He LOVES playing with the other dogs and it wears him out, can't get better than that! When Hershey doesn't get enough exercise he wakes up at around 4:30, yes, in the morning. Ugh. He is now one year old and is still a crazy, wild puppy. The kids adore him. Luke dedicated his poetry book--To Hershey, because I love him very much. That is why I wanted our family to get a dog, and even though I grumble about the two walks a day, endless chewing and a fair amount of naughty behaviors, I am still glad he is here, and he is very cute, to say the least!
