Puppy Prep

If you're on facebook, or a super close family friend, you may know that we are going to welcome this guy:

to our family next Saturday!

We are so excited and Abby can not wait to meet him! We think ~ think! ~ his name will be Huey (like the helicopter), but haven't settled completely.

Anyways, this weekend was spent prepping for his homecoming. We went to PetSmart and purchased all of the puppy essentials.

When we got home I noticed that the food/water bowls quickly disappeared. I wasn't worried. But, I was very surprised when I walked into Abby's playroom and found this...



I think she's ready?

Does anyone have any advice for prepping a kiddo fora new puppy?

My new favorite Woman...

The Pioneer Woman.

She is amazing! Have you guys checked out her blog(s) yet?!

She cooks. Is an amazing photographer. Has a beautiful home. On a beautiful ranch in Oklahoma.

I had heard of her, a long time ago, but didn't really investigate too much. Recently I purchased her book ~ not her cookbook ~ and it's amazing! This woman can write! Her book is about how she met her husband and fell in love. It reads like a novel and I have trouble putting it down at night.

I joined pinterest a few weeks ago and have pinned a few of her recipes. Wednesday night I finally got around to trying one... Cajun Chicken Pasta. A-MA-ZING!!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks for Christmas!

(Oh yeah ~ she has a show on Food Network ~ it premiered this morning!)

We were moments away from making posters that read the above information tonight. Tiny Tiny Baby (TTB) went missing Saturday morning, just before nap time. I'm telling you TTB was gone! Jordan and I tore Abby's playroom, living room and kitchen apart, but no sign of TTB!! Tonight I decided I was going to take everything out of her playroom until I found her.

I knew two things: Abigail had not left our property between the time we last saw TTB and when she went missing; and Abby was devastated!

Looks normal right?

Or does it...

Aha!!

One VERY happy Abigail!
