Now that I finally have a new printer/scanner/copier…. I just wanted to share one of my all time favorite photos. My sweet baby girl, Miranda, when she was about three years old. I’ll always love this photo of her with her little crown of clover. It’s one of those simple days from her childhood that I’ll never forget… even without the photo.

Hugo is growing SO fast! I think the length of his legs has doubled in size since we got him. He went to the park yesterday where we ran into two families who have “grown up” Bostons! I love the fact that so many Boston owners are so passionate about the breed. Here’s my guy at 11 weeks!

A sweet little corsage made of French wired ribbons…
To be worn by one of my friend’s bears as fancy “neckware.”

First off… let me just say that I have a brand new respect for photographers who professionally photograph animals! I very naively thought, that with all my experience photographing teddy bears, getting a nice “glamour” shot of a puppy would be a piece of cake. WoW, was I wrong. I don’t seem to have a problem portraying emotion in an inanimate “object” like a bear… but that bear is STATIONARY. Wee little Hugo most certainly is not. Plus, I’ve had my hands literally full with this little sweetie all week. Here are the two that I’ve managed to take of him.. not the top of his head, or his left ear… or like most of my photos, the empty spot where Hugo was 2 seconds ago!
It’s been hectic, with a capital ‘H.’ I am so overwhelmingly happy that we have chosen to make this little man a part of our family. Even at 3 am when he gets up, again, to empty his thimble sized bladder. I can’t stop kissing him and cuddling him. The kids are thrilled to bits as well. How could they not be?

My new baby, Hugo, a Boston Terrier pup will be coming home on Tuesday! I’m so excited! Really, I feel like a kid. I’m counting down the minutes.
This is Hugo at five weeks. I’m sure I’ll have a ton of photos to post once he’s here and settled in. Yipppee!!!!!

My newest wee creation is named May… in honor of the month, and in honor of my lovely grandmother, Mae, who just recently passed away. She was a great lady, and she LOVED the sun!
My May will be available ’till May 24th. Stop by for a peek if you have a chance.

My daughter has a weekly spelling test. One of the ways she practices her spelling words is by writing them in a sentence. This week she started her work at school. She was so proud that she had done them independently. I glanced at the sentences…
A teacher is a nonprofit job.
The spelling word was nonprofit. Now.. to be honest… even now when I typed this, I had to use spell check to see if it was two words, one word, or a hyphenated word. Spelling is simply NOT one of my strengths…. so good for you little Miranda!
Can you believe that though? She turning this IN tomorrow, to THE TEACHER! I know her teacher will get a total giggle out of this, just the way I did. Really, when you think about it, it’s an absolute crime how little we pay someone who has one of the most important jobs in the world… but that’s a rant for another day.
The absolutely sweet things was her explanation when I asked her what she meant by that sentence. She doesn’t completely understand the concept of ‘nonprofit’ at all. She thought it meant that the person does that job just for the love of it… not simply because of the money. Now that’s a wonderful thing to say, and so absolutely true for the overwhelming majority of teachers, I’m sure.
