Red Stripes

I unknowingly dressed all 3 boys in shirts with red stripes yesterday haha. They looked so good with the green grass backdrop, though! I had yet another person tell me Brennan is the happiest baby they've ever seen. He really is! I've never had such an easy, content baby before. Not just content, but happy... he's constantly smiling as big as he possibly can. He locks eye contact with people and gives his big full-body smile and it makes anyone melt. I just love my little Brennan :)







We FINALLY have a concrete date for Bosley's arrival. He will be here on Sunday!! Just in time before Josh leaves for a month. This should be fun. Bosley requires a daily walk and I will have 3 kids and no sidewalk...hmmmm. Good thing I have my off-roading jogging stroller and a baby carrier! I am quite annoyed that Josh will be gone for a month. I'm nervous about it, in fact. I've been spoiled already with having him here every day to help with dinner and bedtime. Those are the craziest times of day. I'll do it alone. I'll be fine. Don't really have a choice in the matter and neither does Josh. I will hopefully be too busy enjoying October to realize how much I miss my baby. I'm in for some cold, lonely nights. Although where he's going it's going to be MUCH colder haha. Poor Josh. Maybe by time he gets back I will be all toned up from my daily wii fit workouts and walks. Goodbye baby belly and other various flabby areas!!

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
