We’re Back!

Sorry for the long hiatus in blog posts. The last few months have been, well, busy. Like crazy, sleep-deprived, sometimes fun, sometimes almost in tears busy.  Work was insane for a good 8 month stretch. Plus Nick and I traveled...a lot. Let’s see, there was:

Thanksgiving Iowa road trip
Thanksgiving Colorado road trip
December Virgin Islands trip (included Iowa to-from trips to drop off and pick up Forest with Grandma Dee and Grandpa John)
Christmas trip to Colorado
New Year’s Iowa road trip
Las Vegas trip for Nick’s birthday
Dallas, Texas trip
March Virgin Islands trip (included Iowa to-from trips to drop off and pick up Forest with Grandma Dee and Grandpa John)
Columbus, Ohio trip
Memorial Day weekend Iowa trip

Sometimes Forest came with us, but most of the time we either had to board him or leave him with family. We were so busy and traveling so much that sometimes I didn’t have a chance to put away my suitcase, I just left it in the bedroom and unpacked and packed it again and again. Even Forest thought we were traveling too much...


“You should take me with you.”


“See, I even have room for a toy.”


“I promise not to squeak it during take off or landing.”


“It’ll be our little secret.”

Happy Birthday Forest!


That’s right, our sweet, adorable, cuddly puppy turns 2 years old today! Unlike last year’s birthday mishap, Forest got a birthday present this year.

Thank you Grandma Dee for this kick-ass peanut butter treat!

 “What......the…?”


“Total awesomeness!”


The treat was so big, I broke it in half so Forest wouldn’t eat the whole thing in one sitting (there’s always a chance that new treats won’t agree with his delicate puppy stomach and I really didn’t want to have to deal with birthday diarrhea on the lawn later).

  "Nom nom nom"
























"Best (chew chew chew) birthday (burp) ever!"
