Sooooooo Big...

My little Gus is getting so big. I can't believe how much he has grown in such a short time...up 14 pounds in only 5 weeks. We didn't think he was going to get very big, but I think we may have been wrong. I am excited for his little peanut head to bulk out. His wrinkles are starting to develop more, and he is getting cuter every day. It is so fun to watch him "grow up" too. He plays just like a little boy...just goes and goes until there is nothing left. He is curious just like a baby...very observant just as this picture shows. As much work and effort he requires, I wouldn't trade him for the world. He has brought a different kind of joy to my life. I now truly understand why they say a dog is man's best friend. He really does love me; I can just feel it. His kisses are sincere and his snuggles are genuine. He was the best birthday gift I have ever received. Gus is the gift that keeps on giving...so thank you Randall for finding our little treasure.

a vessel

I decided to get a blog because the one my "sister-in-law" created really interested me. I decided it would be a great way to keep everyone (meaning my parents) up to date on my life. It is hard being so far away...Ok, 3 hours is not that far away, but it does seem that it has been more difficult to find time in our busy lives to make the trip to visit. But each time we do, it is well worth it. I have learned there is nothing greater than the love of a family. No one will ever understand me like my mom, and no one will ever be able to hug me like my dad can, and no one's laugh will ever be able to compete with Wade's. I guess, I just miss you guys and I hope this can serve as a vessel for communication. Yeah for technology!! Be looking for pictures of Gus. I am learning that I love to have photoshoots with him. And I think he likes to be the subject...sometimes I think he really is looking at me thinking, "this is my good side...take a picture of this."
