We've Lost our Minds
So, I've been out of a job since October. And it's affected every facet of our lives. And maybe it's broken loose a few thinking cogs in my head. Because, after we ran into the sweetest little rottweiler in the pet store parking lot I couldn't get him out of my head. And one thing leads to the next, and Tag and I are completely smitten with a 4 month old puppy and bring him home to our two shocked and supremely excited children.

| "Okay I love you." |
 |
| Uhm, the CUTEST |
 |
| I think this might work out... |
 |
| "Mamma, I'm a puppy." |
 |
| "Seriously Mom? WHAT did you do?" |
 |
| Yes, we're crazy, but this is going to be fun. |
What better time to housebreak a puppy than when you're home everyday? All sorts of logic can be strategically applied here to justify our lack of prudence. Evelyn declared his name to be Riggs and has really taken on a caring, teaching role for him. She walks him expertly and loves having puppy energy in the house. Emerson has regressed a bit on the behavior spectrum (is there a case study opportunity here?), due to the excess attention lavished on this canine invader. He insists on barking and crawling and wearing a collar and leash. It's surely just a phase (we're praying it's a short one).

| New Jersey Turnpike Pit Stop - On the way to Connecticut ! |
As part of my job hunting, career defining, soul searching journey, I wanted to meet the owner of a children's art studio in Norwalk, CT. Super close to Auntie Laurie, so Evelyn and I took a just-us-girls road trip and had a totally fun time eating out, shopping, visiting a gallery (where I discovered carmelo blandino, incidentally), and generally having a ball. Laurie came to visit us in Virginia shortly thereafter, so we got a wonderful double-dose of Auntie L.
