life is good. real good.

well, it was thanksgiving last week. while meg and brett and karis were off celebrating and being all ooey gooey talking about things they were thankful for and stuffing themselves with delicious food at the beach with brett's family, sam & i were stuck in the kennel.

so here's one thing i'm thankful for today: getting back at 'em for sticking us in that kennel by stealing karis' paci. it was surprisingly delightful and calming. i understand why the kid likes 'em so much.


{note the PLETHORA of leaves in this picture...i'm thinking meg & brett don't rake the leaves so it will cover up our poop in the backyard. or maybe just because they are lazy. take your pick.}

things brett and meg and karis were thankful for last week: naps. and karis sleeping 7-9 hours a night! {except for the very last night when she had a melt down and slept from 2 a.m.-6 a.m. ...all i'm saying is that's what they get for putting us in the kennel.}


another thing we are all thankful for: smiles and LIFE IS GOOD PJ's! big news at the house this week, karis smiled for the first time at the beach. meg says she smiled there because she was so glad to not have to worry about swallowing dog hair or being licked by me. also, she apparently overate on thanksgiving with the rest of them because she has gone from newborn clothes to 0-3 months {at 2 months old...she might fit into 3-6 months when she's a year old. :)} which means she got to wear these new pj's which took even me away from my jealousy to sheer joy.


{they say "buttercup" on them... HOW CUTE?!?!?}

thing we are all SO thankful for: the nap nanny. that's the pink thing karis is sleeping on. ever since we got it, little miss thang has been sleeping for 6-9 hours a night CONSISTENTLY! {note how she has worked her way out of her swaddle and how her paci now grows out of her ear...}

...and even though sam and i put up a tough front, we are most thankful {only second to Jesus :)} for this precious little girl who lets us lick her and tolerates our dog hair on everything :)
