A Boy and His Dog!!

I know I don't blog that often, and for that I am sorry. I took this picture this afternoon because I couldn't believe my eyes. My son was playing the piano and his dog was sitting right next to him faithfully supporting his practice! My son's dog is the most lovable idiot you will ever meet. I recently finished the book, Marley and Me and thought to myself that my dog is much worse than Marley, for heaven's sake Marley was potty trained. I can handle anything, if the dog doesn't poop in my house!! Then I walk up stairs from folding the laundry and see this...







How am I supposed to be angry with a dog that loves my son so much that she can't leave his side when he practices the piano!! I mean really, look at that face!! I am also a little sentimental these days with Marshall growing up so fast. He is taller than I am and almost smarter than I, almost being the operative word. He recently got into a gifted program for junior high that will mean that next year he will attend West High School!! He will still only be in 7th grade, but he attends his classes at West! I really am struggling with this concept, my little boy at a HIGH SCHOOL!! He seems fine, but mom is not handling the transition well.



I am loving the teenage boy, the soon to be teenage girl is another story however!! For Valentine's Day, Marshall may have given an anonymous girl some delicious homemade truffles, homemade by ME. The drop off was a little dicey, but really fun. Here are the said truffles that I made for the adorable girl...






These were so fun to make and so delicious!!


Sorry this post is a little random, but I never posted a picture of the quilt that I made my mom for Christmas and I know that there is at least one person that has been waiting for me to post it so here you go...

I LOVE MY QUILT.It is beautiful and we both love it. The only problem I have now is that Kim and I fight over who gets to use it. Yours is the only one that covers his feet. I know how much time and effort that goes into you quilts so we are honored to have one...now I have this bed downstairs that does't have a quilt...just kidding.
Thanks again and again
Mom

That is a way cute dog picture!! Love the quilt, and also the valentines treats. Ditto on the growing-up-boy. Something just feels different when you look up into their eyes instead of down!!

Hi Emily! I just thought your pics are so cute. It is hard to believe that Marshall is getting this old. It really is cute to see how much these dogs become part of a family. I LOVE your quilts! They are so cute. You do such perfect work. I know Brooke loves to quilt and I love the one she did for me. I am so glad that you are feeling better with your new pace maker! Hurray for modern science! Hope all is going well with you guys...Love you, Aunt Donna
