Painting, The Reservoir, and Snuggles.

On Friday night, Melissa and I went to a group paint night at the local art studio. The paint night was part of a fundraiser for Suicide Prevention and Awareness. The theme was “Gab’s Bee”. Gabby was the daughter of one of my closest friend and who had also become a friend/confidante of mine. Gabby passed away on 7/31/18 at the age of 20. She was an amazing soul. The bee painting was modeled after a tattoo Gab had. The tattoo symbolised overcoming fear. One of Gab’s biggest fears was bees and so she got a bee on her forearm to remind her to always face your fears. She was amazing.

On Saturday night we went on a walk to the reservoir again. It was chilly but beautiful. What is it about water that makes everything feel so calm and peaceful?

Rusty’s favourite place to be in the whole wide world is snuggled between his two mum’s. Toby had already gone to bed (in his crate) so Mumsy (Melissa) and Mama (Jessi) gave him some one on one attention. He’s such a sweet boy.

Sunday Night Sadness

Sunday night always brings a feeling of sadness. Monday means we both have to return to our own homes. It’s really hard on us but it’s especially hard on the boys. We understand but the boys don’t. Both boys show signs of stress and anxiety when they realise the weekend has ended.

Last night we decided to take the boys on a nice long walk around the Reservoir. The sky was beautiful and there was a nice breeze. We can’t wait until we share the same space and can go on daily family walks. Only 82 more days.

Toby: “Mama, it’s getting late. When are Mumsy and Rusty going to be back?”
Me: “It’s Monday, Toby. They won’t be back until Wednesday evening. We still have two more sleeps until we see them.”

Toby: “Oh…okay.”

Christmas Lights & Doggie Jammies

Melissa LOVES Christmas lights! We drove around her town and nearby towns to check out all the displays. I can’t wait to show her the Wildlights at the zoo!

This house was decorated like the Griswald’s house. It even has the station wagon.
The boys in their matching Christmas jammies.
The first, of many, Christmas tree photos!
Toby seems to love his new Christmas jammies.
