A Christmas Pup

Six years ago today I received the very best Christmas present ever.... SCARLETT! She was born on November 3rd and was so tiny when we brought her home on Christmas Eve. As I type this she is sleeping on my lap. She is truly the sweetest dog. I am so glad she is mine. I love her so very much.

Here are some pictures of our first day together. We kept her in a baby pool so she would not get crushed. In the pool picture below you can hardly tell Scarlett apart from her toys. She is sleeping on her back all spralled out. And the stocking picture cracks me up because she looks less than thrilled to be stuffed on a stocking. Can you blame her?

Anyway... just felt like remembering.

Merry Christmas!

Because I Like to Share

I pretty much LOVE quiche. If it is on the menu in a restaurant I will probably order it. Tonight I made a zucchini cheese quiche from Our Best Bites. It was crazy good and looked exactly like the picture on their blog. Because I am a generous soul here is the link: Our Best Bites: Zucchini Cheese Quiche. You're welcome.

I currently have truffle tarts with raspberries in the fridge. I think the spelling of raspberry is pretty funny. I think it should be spelled razberry. Anyone??? I can't be alone here. If they turn out awesome I will link you as well.

Happy weekend!

Alive and Well...

Helloooooooo! I'm still alive. When I tell you that things have exploded in our lives I am not exaggerating. I am not quite ready to write about the changes headed our way in the months ahead. I will, just not yet. The Lord has been working in ways that I could have never imagined. But, that is to be expected.

My due date has come and gone. I feel a great sense of relief now that December 9, 2010 is a memory. I have been counting down since our loss and the clock has now officially stopped. I am so glad the constant ticking in my head has been silenced. And... that is all I have to say about that for now.

Were you worried because the last post I wrote was a little crazy and then I disappeared for over a month? I wrote a post about wanting to go to jail (not because I committed a crime, but just for a break) that would confirm your concerns. It is saved in my drafts and will most likely never be published. I just get completely overwhelmed by life and commercials sometimes. I am sure you understand. I think the feeling is universal.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are getting ready for a beautiful Christmas. I know I am really looking forward to it. More to come soon...
