Catching Up and Sad News

Hey friends!  Sorry I haven't been around the past week.  I've been busy chauffering my girls around and we've been on the go all week.  Between hitting the Y waterpark in the mornings and making it to gymnastics practice 4 days out of the week, I haven't had a chance to sit down and tend to my little piece of bloggyland. 

This weekend was such a sad one for our family.  Our sweet little dog, Bella, got off her leash and got loose and ran out under my car when I turned into our neighborhood on the way home from the grocery store.  I never could've imagined how hard it would be to lose her.  We'd had her for a little over 5 years and she was such a special little part of our family.  It's so hard to walk in the house and her not be there to run up and greet us.  I just really never thought I could get so emotional over losing a pet. She was just the sweetest little thing. 

Bella

We had had Bella since my youngest daughter was 2 and she's 7 now. So for as long as she can remember Bella has always been around.  I know we won't ever be able to replace Bella but we did get a new puppy with the hope that it might make it easier for the girls.  She and Kaylee have become fast friends but she still doesn't have a name yet.  We're trying to get a feel for her personality before we name her plus we haven't all been able to agree on anything yet. 

Kaylee and Dog Without a Name

I promise I'll be back with some school related ideas this week.  I've got lots of stuff I've been working on but don't have anything finished.  Don't you hate when you have a ton of things you start on and it seems like you can't get any of it finished because you've started too many things at once?  Or am I the only one who does that? It drives me crazy but I constantly do it.  Well I'm off to tend to my new baby that has no name.  Pray I get some sleep tonight.  She's worse than a newborn baby with all the crying she does at night.  Maybe this will cure my hubby of that 3rd baby he wants!
