Hi! Thought I might update, it's been awhile.We got a new puppy, Layla, a mini pin. She's really tiny, just a little over 2 pounds, and tons of trouble. We love her lots, but the housebreaking is going terribly. When we're not home, she's in the guest bathroom where she does pretty good with the puppy pads, but when we let her out when we're home, she does terribly. She goes everywhere BUT the pads we have out for her in the kitchen. If anyone has any advice, please help. I really want to get her to that good housedog stage that I see other people's dogs at. Right now if I can't be totally watching her, I put her up. So, when I get dressed, take a bath, cook supper, she has to be put up. I need help you guys!
We had a baby shower for LuckyHusband's sister today. It went well and she got lots of great gifts. I knitted her a really cute baby fisherman style hat which she loved. In return for hosting the shower I got an awesome purple cala lilly (not sure if that's how to spell it) which I will probably take to work and for my upcoming birthday, I got a gift certificate to one of my favorite places, Bath Junkie. I can't wait to spend it.
I have Layla pics on my knitting blog. I'm at home and the dial up is too slow to repost, so go over there and check them out from last weeks post.
Hope you all are well! :)

Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
