Guess Who's Home!!





Bosley is here!!! :D :D :D :D I'm so glad to finally have our last family member join us out here in Spain. Whe he first saw us he didn't even move... he was all quiet in his cage. Then once we got down and looked in his eyes he started crying and whining and licking our hands (until we released him). He missed us and we sure missed him. He was content on the drive home, sitting in between Josh and I then trekking back to Noah every once in awhile. We let him run in the yard when we got home and then all took him on a long walk (like Cesar Milan says). Now he's enjoying his free reign of a big yard and a big house. He mostly is just following Noah and Tristan around (and me... he's my dog). I'm so glad he's happy! I uploaded a couple videos. I didn't get one at the airport because it was a lot more running around than I thought it would be. It took us nearly 2 hours to finally get him. But, he's here!! I know he'll love Spain and I have picked out a daily walking route for me & the kids. The shoulder is wide enough for all of us to fit and there's some great hills to assist me in toning my post-baby body. Josh is leaving tomorrow and having Bos here is going to make me feel much safer. He might not be a guard dog, but he's a sure-fire alarm dog haha. Thank you again Heather, Jeff & Sheena.




he looks like he's thanking God ;)

These are wonderful photos, I love the third one where he's looking up. That is the best illustration of happy contentment that I've ever seen. I'm so happy too!

Bos looks like he gained a little weight, LOL. Guess he needs those hills on your long walks, huh? He has to get his boyish figure in check. heehee

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
