Angie and Mike's Blog

My Little Brother Aaron gave us this blanket the first Christmas they were matched. I think the year was 2003. We pull it out each year during the holidays. It's always been a favorite of Harley's and now the other kids are starting to like it, too. Who'd have thought such a simple gift would turn out to be so special?

Two pillows, a boppy and a throw. She did this all by herself. Really.

Tonight we went on a walk around the lake as a family and came home with a new member for the night. A little black dog joined us and wasn't wearing a collar so we brought her home to keep her safe until we could look for her family. As you can see she made herself right at home for the evening and Mike was a happy camper but Harley not so much. I think as long as Harley is with us, we will be a one dog household.

Harley checks out the footprints in our front yard. They're as big as she is!

This is the only one who will sit still long enough (while looking into the light) for me to get a portrait of her. You think Maddie or Nate will sit still for more than two seconds? Ha!

After a LONG day (and night) of Christmas festivities, we found Harley sound asleep on her favorite Christmas blankie.

I've told myself since the day Maddie was born that Harley would be just as big a part of our lives and household as she ever was. But, as one kid has turned to three, there are days when I feel like Harley is just "the dog." And that's really not fair to her because she was so much more than that for the first few years we had her. She still gets a few treats and gets to sleep in the bed a couple of nights each week but gone are daily walks and good, quality cuddle time on the sofa. No, we're the parents of toddlers now. Sorry, Harley. But, I digress. As I was working late on the computer last night, Harley came downstairs to pay me a visit. There she sat, looking up longingly at me as if to say, "remember me?"

Break. My. Heart. :(
