The week started off with a trip to the vet for Jackson. He had been battling a bit of a cough for a while and we got a little paranoid that it was turning into pneumonia so we thought it would be best to bring him in. Thankfully he just has bronchitis, so we got …

7 Month Old Pup
Today marks the day when Jackson became a 7 month old puppy! It’s so hard to believe that we’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old and now he is 7 months old. Time has gone by soooo fast. Alex and I were recounting some memories this morning and it’s amazing how much our …
Catching Up on the Little Things
Since May Alex and I have employed the mantra “go, go, go.” Now that it’s late October I am elated to say that I look forward to a “boring” winter with few activities, trips or get-aways planned. While the last 6 months has been unbelievably fun and exciting, time has flown by WAY too quickly. We …
Jack Man!
I haven’t posted anything about our growing puppy in a while, so here’s a few photos and notes of our little teenager. Jackson is a week shy of being 6 months. He weighs 55 pounds. While he isn’t gaining weight as quickly anymore, his body is growing longer and his head is getting huge. I’m …
Oliver’s Memorial
Shortly after our little Oliver cat died, my mom suggested planting a baby tree in our backyard as a little memorial to Oliver. Anyone who has seen our backyard knows it’s about as big as a postage stamp, so, while I loved the idea of planting something in Oliver’s memory, I didn’t think a tree was …

Jackson is 5 Months Old
Where did the time go?! Last I checked, Jackson was 25 pounds and 3 months old. Now he’s 50 pounds, has started to get feathers in his adult coat, is walking like a champ, is gaining more freedoms by the day, and is acting more and more like a dog every day. We survived Jackson’s …
In Memory of Oliver
It has taken me a week to build up enough courage to look through photos of Oliver to write this post. With each day, life is getting easier to handle as I move towards finding solace after the loss of my “baby cat” Oliver last week. Today I am remembering Oliver and all of the …
A weekend of memories
This weekend we are being especially nostalgic. August 17th and 18th both hold special places in Alex’s and my hearts for a number of reasons. Last year on August 17th we got to meet our little puppy Aspen. Alex’s mom flew her out from Illinois to come and live with us. August 18th comes with …
Jackson is Four Months Old!
Somehow our little pup is now four months old?! I’m not sure when that happened, but he is sure getting big and is acting {sometimes} like a mature young dog. Some fun facts about 4 month-old Jackson: The shower is still his favorite place to hang out and sleep. Jackson is teething – most of …
