We’ve had Ike for one week today! It feels like we’ve had him forever. And yet it’s totally flying by. We can tell he’s grown already. He knows his name and comes when called. He’s doing great with his potty and crate training. I can’t wait for him to meet everyone over the holidays. I…

It seems like I spend a good part of every day with my fingers down Ike’s throat. He eats everything!! I vacuum the house constantly and we’re still pulling things out of his mouth. Just in the last 3 days: feather, upholstery tack, birth announcement, Morgan’s homework, toilet brush, various leaves, twigs, and mulch, lint,…

If anyone needs practice for having kids, get a puppy. No sleep, lots of cleaning up messes. Can’t get much done. But at the end of the day when he falls asleep on your chest and you just want to stay there forever… It’s so cool. Friday we worked on crate training and learning his…

Whew- we were very busy today. We picked him up, went to visit both our mom’s at their respective workplaces, went to the vet, and visited with friends. Click here to check it all out!

After work on Saturday I met up with my Mom and little sister Morgan to go see School of Rock. So cute! Jack Black is a riot in this movie. He has the most expressive face bar none. And the kids are just great. After dinner we went to Buca di Beppo. We’ve been wanting…

Yesterday was delicious. I woke up and delivered a batch of Russian cookies I baked the night before to work for my Russian project (I head up the Diversity Committee). Then I went to my salon to get my hair done. I saw a new lady and she was great. She gave me the cutest…

I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I had a Jessica Simpson moment the other day. For those not familiar with Jessica’s sharp wit, she’s appearing on an MTV reality show documenting her new marriage to Nick Lachey.
