Selfless Edification: 2013 already???

     so, last year I totally failed at blogging. they say third time's a charm, right? 2013 has started off with a bang.

     ~ my grampie was sent to emergency heart surgery, and that was scary for our family for a month or so.
     ~ then, on the other side of the family, my nana passed away suddenly.

    I was able to find the positives in all of these things. both family situations have actually brought us all a lot closer, and I hope it stays like that for the rest of the year.

on a more positive note, mountain man finished the fence in our backyard, so now we can just let mr.gunner out to play! in celebration of that we had our friends over and their dogs. it rained. now our cream carpet is brown. rug dr. is due for a visit.

the lovely ladies of the night

we found time for a cheap date night because we had a gift card!

we're getting more organized (ignore mountain man's drinking selection-trying to find another place for that)

i turned our unused dining room into a "creativity room"

we met a dog that could have been gunner's brother at the park! they loved to play!

that's 2013 so far. i can't wait to see what other fun adventures it will bring.

oh. and last year was great! (maybe i'll share more about that bit by bit.) mr. gunner, 6 mos, has grown a lot, and tazana is almost 4! she loves playing with gunner and cuddling up at night. here are some of their most recent pics for your viewing pleasure. i just know you're dying to know how they are doing!
