Meet Olivia

The newest member of our family!!

So, all of my friends having babies was really giving me baby fever! So, to cure the itch, I found Olivia. I've always wanted a pug. I had more specifically always wanted a pug named Lucy. However, my aunt has a dog named Lucy that lives right next door, so I didn't think another Lucy would be appropriate.

So, today, Tony and I were brainstorming names and we narrowed it down to Olivia, Fiona, and Isabel. Well, I really wanted to name her Fiona. I thought it would be so PERFECT, but Emma absolutely insisted on Olivia. She even went and found her Olivia book and carried it around with her all day long while she insisted the new puppy's name was going to be... Olivia.

Well, we had to drive all the way to Bennettsville, SC to see this puppy. Don't ask me where that is, please, it's just a really long ways from here, okay? Ugh, so like 15 hours later (not really) we were back home with our brand new shiny puppy named Olivia, who, might I add.. is absolutely edible. I'm so in love with her. She's asleep right now in my lap and I just want to wake her up so I can kiss on her some more. :)

Noah and the Spaghetti

Okay, so I've been a really bad mom. Noah is about to be 18 months old and tonight was the FIRST time I've let him have a plate of food and just go at it. He eats finger foods by himself, of course, but I just don't like messes, so up until this point, I've just made myself a really big plate of food and I've fed him off of my plate. Well, last night, he decided that he was just not going to have it anymore. He screamed and threw down and totally refused to eat with me feeding him. So, tonight I just did it. I gave him his very own plate of spaghetti and boy was he a happy little fella. Just look at that face!!!!

Needless to say, he had to have a serious bath after dinner tonight. :)

Downsizing

I decided earlier that I have/had way too many blogs in service. I think that's the source of me not blogging so much, because when I look at my dashboard and there are like 10 blogs there staring at me wondering why I haven't posted on them.... it's intimidating and I just click away as quickly as possible. LOL ;)

So, I closed FOUR blogs today and imported the contents of each of them onto THIS blog, so if you see random posts on here, that's why. I think this blog gained twenty-something posts today due to me closing the others.

And it's refreshing now that when I look at my dashboard all I see are my personal blog, my photography blog and the Mission 24 photography challenge blog that I'm a member of.

I feel like a new woman! :)
