I was expecting the delivery of a quite large and heavy box tomorrow. The UPS guy is pretty good to get stuff into the house.

 

We left at noon to take the car in for service, yikes that was a spendy trip, and when we got home the huge box was leaning up against the porch wall. 225 lbs it weighs, and  yes I did get in inside, in pieces. Some assembly required. Tomorrow is another day.

Keep in mind.... You and I live fairly close (couple hours away) and Mr Wonderful loves putting things together....if you need help let me know (I’ll bring coffee and food.....Mr Wonderful will do all of the heavy lifting 😊)

I expect weird stuff from my lab, but this guy is so low to the ground he's practically part of it. I think he is having issues from the loss of Daisy (other mini doxy). 

Thankfully I bought the insurance expecting the Jedi to destroy them. I only had to pay 41$ to get a new pair and the insurance will still cover the new pair until the original date.

They work together. I had two older German Shepherds when a friend of mine moved into the house with her yorkie. The Yorkie was skilled at getting onto counter tops and into cabinets and would push things off so the Shepherds would rip it with their teeth.....it was annoying but actually VERY impressive.....

Out of curiosity, how many of you all have traveled with your kids when they were infants to go see family? My husband mentioned a while ago that he wanted to go see his parents before the end of the year (like, October/November). When he first said it I told him I'd probably stay here to help cut down on costs and make my move toward a career change that I already pushed off a year due to pregnancy, but I wasn't going to tell him he can't go as it would be pretty hypocritical of me since we live 4 miles from my parents and see them all the time. And then he mentioned he'd want to take our daughter with him so she can meet her grandparents and he'd be okay with going just the two of them. Every cell in my brain is screaming no, but I know its more complicated than that. If the tables were turned and I wanted to travel alone with her no one would bat an eyelash since I'm the mom.

 

I'd love to go with them if I could, but it may not be possible. Just want to put some feelers out and see what the wise sages of VJ think.

Kiddo was travelling with me at 3 months old.  Hasnt really stopped travelling lol.

Planes were easier at under age 2 when they can sit on your lap for free!

Not sure about the viability of this for a 12-hour flight, tho. Even when you can switch laps.

Counting down the days to Spring Break. 
20 years ago “Spring Break” would have been drinking until dawn.....not really what it means now. Now “Spring Break” means I will be living in my happy pjs for 10 days. I love my pjs. 🙂
