A proper introduction

I thought I should introduce my cast of characters. These three trouble makers keep me busy all day, every day.

I will start with the furry one! June is the golden retriever puppy, who will turn one in May. A word of advice, no matter how much your husband whines you should not agree to go "just look" at puppies, unless you really want to take one home that day. She was his "getting out of the Navy" present, and has been a hand full, but is actually a very well behaved puppy. However, if you take her and a toddler and put them in the same room, it is very much like having two toddlers.

Speaking of toddlers...that brings me to the big one, also known as Aedan. He will be three in March and is the sweetest almost three year old around, most of the time. He does know how to throw tantrums and loves to whine, but then again, what three year old doesn't? It is amazing how smart he is already, and I am sure it won't be long before he is out smarting me. For now I still have the advantage, luckily!

Then there is the little one. We like to call him Corbin. He was born last October, which makes him 3 months old. He is an "easy" baby, which is the only reason I am surviving this stay at home mom thing! There is something wonderful about second babies, as a mommy you have already gotten used to living for someone else, so that part comes easy and you are just able to enjoy them.


I tried to find a photo of just me, but I couldn't, and I thought this one would do just fine:


That was taken right after Corbin was born, but not much has changed since then! Taking care of them is like three full time jobs! Sometimes I do them all wonderfully, and other times I am sure they would like to fire me, but they can't!

There is a husband and a cat, but since they take care of themselves and I hear a baby calling, I will introduce them in another post!
