Ups: Every moment in which we have gazed into one another's eyes in gentle longing affection.
Downs: 3:00 AM barking at nothing in particular on Wednesday night followed by two hours of dropping toys on my head.
Young Wade tried to take him from me one night so I could "sleep in peace." I acted like he was a social worker trying to take my baby from me. You guys. I love this animal too much.
And now, your Pictures and Distractions:

| With Mr. Pants! |

| Date night with my Emma. |
 |
| Twenty minutes after we dropped Matt off at the airport (at 4:30 in the morning) Mr. Pants rolled around in the mud. |

~It Just Gets Stranger
"My Emma"? Please explain.
ReplyDeleteNot what you are thinking; long time friend...haven't heard a lot about her lately though.
DeleteIt is ridiculous how cute that dog is.
ReplyDeleteJeez, can't Eli post one picture of himself with a female without an inquisition? People can be friends with the opposite sex. NOT THAT I KNOW WHAT THAT IS, CATHIE.
ReplyDeleteIn the name of cheese and rice amen.
DeleteSo my key to internet fame, or at least infamy, is live tweeting all the bad dates I've had in the last 3 years? Why didn't anyone tell me this sooner?!?! That pain has to be good for something, even if it is just making strangers on the internet laugh so hard it hurts.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks fantastic
ReplyDeleteI like how you and Mr. Pants wound up with the same expression on your faces in the couch/cheese day picture
ReplyDeleteThey also have the same expression and head tilt in the "after the mud" shower scene!
DeleteThe Onion article had me chuckling. When I was 8 years old we would run up to the church two blocks from my house where all the neighborhood kids would gather anytime it rained I never saw any parents when we would go and RIDE the waves of the current in the ditch of the church because it was on a hill and all the water from the neighborhood would run their then into the sewer. It was a different time then for sure. Now you would surely die if you did that from being sliced up by any manner of sharp and killing objects. But it brought back great memories with the thought of kids in ditches. I'm not sure that our parents really worried that much about it. Maybe, but wasn't that their job just as much as us kids (all 7 of us) job was to run around and find fun things to do when they weren't looking?
ReplyDeleteHannah has perfect teeth. And so do you if I think about it.
ReplyDeleteFYI there is an Anna Kendrick movie called Happy Christmas and the dog in the movie is named Mr. Pants. I'm not saying it's copyright infringement, but I'm not saying it isn't either.
