Summer Time Blues

In the past two months, both sides of our family have had Summer Vacations but unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy them as we would have liked to.

In June, my side of the fam got together in the Outer Banks for some fun in the sun in an oceanfront beach house for a week...too bad my hubby couldn't go.  It was wonderful to see my family and even my good friend Nikki flew in with her son, Cash for the week...but I still missed my TJ.  It just wasn't as enjoyable without him.

This month, TJ's side of the fam met up on Fenwick Island in a gorgeous home on the bay...too bad that he had to go alone for 1/2 the week and the other 1/2 was spent worrying and dealing with dog issues.  Our poor Lucy woke up very ill the day we were to leave so I ended up staying home with her while TJ met up with his family.  The next day was Independence Day and I spent it alone with the dogs.  Again, another vacation separated...not fun.

Thankfully Lucy recovered.  An exam from the Vet discovered her ailment and she was immediately put on more medicine (just add those to her basket of pills she already gets) to help her get well again.  We thought once Lucy was better that we'd finally be able to enjoy the last three days of vacation together...but wouldn't you know it...our devil of a dog, Lola did not want to cooperate with the dog-sitter/house-sitter. 

My Mom says that Lola is in her "teenage years" and is just rebelling.  I'm in doggie teenage hell!  The worst part is that she has no problem listening to TJ...she seems to have a problem with me (and other women).  I'd be lying if I didn't admit to some serious thoughts of getting rid of her...as in, giving her to someone else to deal with.  My growing baby belly and this pregnancy is not making it easier to deal with a very naughty dog.

So, there you have it.  Our Summer...so far.  I hope it gets better...soon.

It's a BOY!

Time to decorate the nursery in blue!

Expecting!

Well, the word is out and yes, we have a baby on board. I just started my 2nd trimester and TJ and I couldn't be more excited to share our news.  I'm finally letting all of you in on my pregnancy blog...read if you dare!  It's called, "my hips don't lie" and here's the link:
