Screech in the Night

Morning friends!  Ugh.... I can't get back to sleep so I thought I might as well use the time to say hello.  Early early this morning, Abby woke us up screeching and crying in her super high pitched voice.  Jordan and I were jarred awake and sleepily tried to assess the situation.  Where the heck was this noise coming from?

You know how I'm always talking about Abby's wild hair?  Well, this morning that wild hair finally caught up with her and I (more her, than I).  This morning Abby was itching her face/ear with her back paw, you know, like a pup would normally do, except this time, she got stuck.  Yup, she got the toenail of her back paw stuck in the fur on her face (do dogs have cheeks?).  The harder she pulled to free herself, the harder it hurt! (thus the ear-piercing screech)  It's amazing actually that this hasn't happen very often.

At any rate, once Jordan and I finally realized what was happening, we were able to calm her down so that she didn't pull harder.  With scissors, I was able to cut her paw free from her face.  Disclaimer: be careful using scissors in the dark, barely awake, on a wiggling doggie.

Message received Abby.  We'll get you a hair cut ASAP.

Because of the obvious alarming moment this morning, I don't have any pictures to share with you from the situation.  I wont leave you hanging though; I want to share this shot of Abby and I in the car on our way to the lake.  Ignore the rain and grime on the window.


Hope everyone got a restful nights sleep!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
