New Year's Eve

We have an exciting New Year's Eve in this house...puppy snuggles (there are two under the blanket) and football. Sounds good to me!!

Sucking up

Charlie is sucking up to Dad...all the while hatching a plan to devour some crayons...

Evening snuggles

All three boys have been extra snuggly lately (Charlie is sleeping on my stomach as I write this!) but this mama doesn't mind one bit ❤️

Snow dog

Sebastian doesn't mind winter weather. He sat watching it snow for quite awhile this morning!

A boy and a snowman

Sebastian snuggled up with his new snowman toy...before his brothers tear it to pieces...

Sleepy boys

It's tough work trying to keep Dad in line while Mom's away! ❤️

Curled up

Charlie sure does like to curl up and get cozy!

Cuddle bugs

I was feeling a little blue the other day, so I chose one of my grief books, got Henry's monster quilt, and sat in the nursery to read. These three knew I could use some company, and made sure I had some. Love them!

Sneak peek

First of all, no this isn't an announcement!! We've just slowly been making some changes to the nursery, and decided to make our own wall art. It's not done yet, but here's a peek...

Where are you going??

The boys really thought we should just stay home and snuggle...

Staying warm

Charlie loves to burrow under blankets and covers...whether it's 10 degrees or 100. 

Murphy's pillow

Murphy put his daddy's penguin pillow to good use for a Sunday afternoon snooze yesterday.

Hugs from Charlie

Charlie nuzzled up to give me some hugs today.

My bone??

Murphy got very confused when I covered his bone with a corner of the blanket...perhaps becoming a search dog won't be in his future...

Brothers ❤️🐾

Charlie and Murphy have become quite the happy pair...Charlie wanted to be extra close this afternoon after work!

You gonna share??

The dogs really wanted to share my Raising Canes...then Charlie proceeded to steal my bread right out of my hand and chow down...

Sleepy Charlie

Charlie was trying so hard to stay awake...but kept nodding off. Silly boy!

I'm comfy!

It doesn't take much for Murph to make himself comfy...

Feeling the love

I love, love, LOVE my coworkers. They have been working hard to help me feel the love and to bring a little sunshine to these darker days. I am beyond thankful to work in such a positive and supportive environment.

Spoiled

Say what you want...I definitely have the BEST coworkers. It's a rough time, but I'm spoiled with flowers, coffee, treats, and love. I don't know if I say it enough...I work with amazingly caring and supportive people. 

Interesting pillow...

Charlie found himself a comfy spot to rest his head today...

Best way to watch football

Enjoying a little MNF with my furry buddies. Go Chargers!

Can I get ice cream too??

Sebastian got to ride along to Sonic tonight for our Sunday ice cream treat. He was worried (rightly so) that we forgot to order his ice cream and was trying to fix that oversight...

Look what I found!

Murphy actually buries his bones in the backyard. He came in tonight proudly carrying his treasure he buried a couple weeks ago...

Eskimo kisses

Just getting some Eskimo kisses from Murphy...

Silly dog

Sebastian made himself comfy...

Just Murph and Me

Love this sweetheart. He always knows when we're sad and need a little extra love.

I'm really just a giant child

Tim convinced me to get a new Yoshi game for our Wii...and we subsequently spent about 4 hours (with a dinner break in the middle) playing!! It was fun to get lost in a game for a bit.

Not so excited about football

Sebastian is not so excited about Thursday night football...

Pumpkins behind the scenes

Here were our pumpkins in progress...

Pumpkins!

We spent some time painting pumpkins this weekend, and delivered a couple (the tiny ones) to the boys at the cemetery. We keep finding ways to start traditions even without having our boys here with us.

Sweet Murph

Murphy was being quite snugly with mama tonight and mama didn't mind a bit!

Love my chihuahua

Just some Charlie snuggles to make me feel better ❤️

How is this comfortable??

Oh Murph...making himself comfortable in the strangest of ways...

He can be sweet

Although to most outsiders Charlie truly is a jerk (and even to us now and then) he can also be super sweet!

Stuck

I think this is Charlie's and Murphy's way of trying to make sure I don't go anywhere...

Awwww

Charlie got mama snuggles tonight!

You wanna share??

Tim and I usually eat at the counter, and this is Murphy'stypical post...right behind us. Keeping a watchful eye out...

Mr. Antisocial

Last night Murph decided he didn't want to hang out with us, and made himself comfy all on his own. We still love him!

My oldest fur baby

Love this sweet boy! He's always willing to snuggle and make mama feel better!

I think they missed me...

I had a late evening tonight for conferences. Now that I'm home I have some very cuddly puppies. 

DADDY!

All three boys wanted to be on Daddy's lap the other morning!

Peek-a-boo

...says Charlie!

What's up, Mom?

Sebastian was just chilling today while we watched some football.

Binkeez for Comfort

One of the items we got at Glow Gold last weekend was this Binkeez for Comfort, sponsored by Sammy's Superheroes. These beautiful and comfortable blankets are given to pediatric cancer fighters across the country. Since Henry didn't receive one, we got one as an angel family. And it fits perfectly in the sunroom!

Spoiled much?

Trying to keep Charlie from chewing on his paws...so I resort to wrapping him in a baby blanket and snuggling him...I don't mind too much ❤️

I don't see you...!

This was Sebastian last night...laying on my pillow...pretending he didn't see me...

A boy and his bone

Charlie is feeling pretty proud...and protective...of his new bone!

Daddy son time

To prepare for the opening of the NFL football season, Tim played some Madden football after work. And the boys had to help.

Goodnight!

Murphy sure know how to curl up and get comfy when bedtime comes.
