Puppy Love

Puppy is part of our family. It's been this way for five years now and

Steve & I alway get a kick out of the places we find him and the "attire" in which he is often donning. You just never know...and just when we think we've seen it all,

we are surprised by yet another Puppy surprise.

I thought you might enjoy seeing just a few of the fun things we have found.

Puppy was a gift from Jake to Con the day that he was born. You can see him right behind Steve's shoulder in the picture below-

Loved from there very beginning

Puppy enjoys play time-

Rest time-

The water park-

He's had his own birthday cake-

Plays trucks-

Watches movies-

Dress-up-

A bond like no other-

And all these five years later, Puppy has several friends and gets treated with all the trimmings of a posh life. Here is Con's set-up of Christmas stockings for Puppy & his friends-

Plays games with his friends-

Has special places to rest-

And gets his own Christmas tree & presents-

Dressed up as a princess in a homemade gown

that even has a cut out for his tail-

His own handcrafted earrings-

Eats with his friends-

Wear shoes & socks-

Is loved beyond words-

And although other doggies have enter the family-

There is no replacement...just extended love-

But, the day began with breakfast in bed!

The girls decorated their tea cups and saucers.

Do you notice an outfit change here? What about the fact that BOTH outfits are nightgowns!!!

Paige dresses up in her foofy dresses everyday! But, the day of the ever anticipated princess tea party what do you think she wanted to wear!?! I bit my tongue and sang sweetly,

"It's my party, I'll wear what I want to!"

Paigey opens her gift from Grammy & Papa. Grammy came for lunch & Papa joined us later in the day for dinner!

Papa shows Jake where Korea is (and lots of other stuff too, I'm sure! )

It was a fun few days! I already love 4!! Paige was so thankful for all that she received for her birthday right down to a birthday balloon. "Thank you for my breakfast in bed, Mommy!" Later, "thank you for my tea party, Mommy. It's soo be-a-u-tee-ful!" I'm thinking 4 is going to be lots of fun! Paige is turning into the little girl we have been praying for her to be! God is soo soo good!!
