chickadees.

i love visiting my parents in indiana. a sweet reminder of childhood, and a break from the every day norm of suburbia. while i was there last weekend, my dad came home with 20 baby chicks. if i thought i could get them through security, i’d have snuck a few in my luggage. there’s that, and also my concern that our dogs would mistake them for a chew toy. either way, they sure were cute little things!

spring is coming.


thank goodness mother nature delivered some sunshine and warmer weather this week! not only were my husband and i thrilled to have a beautiful weekend to spend some time outdoors, but there are two pooches in my household who are equally grateful to break free from being cooped up indoors all winter.

man’s best friend.

this is my husband. and this is his grandpa’s new puppy. and this is his happy place. give the boy a dog, and he’ll never ask for a thing again. except, of course, maybe another dog..
