playing in the grass

finally blogging these cute pics of pen. i can't believe she has been in our family for almost three weeks.  life with a puppy has definitely been an adventure and has completely changed our lives. it's crazy because i don't even know what i did all day before she came into our lives...what real mom's always say! to all the real mothers of little ones out there, i know i am just a dog mom, but my days now feel like they did when i nannied infants. so fun, yet so tiring. oh and also hard to get anything done.  but when i see that little face begging me to play with her for the third hour in a row, it's really hard to ignore; especially when she is growing so fast and soon she will be too big to carry. okay, i'll stop now - i'm starting to sound like a dog version of that "i love you forever" book. haha. so below are pictures of penny in the grass one evening - back when it felt like summer outside and we were all in shorts. we had such a mild summer that i'm kind of sad to see it go.  don't get me wrong, i am loving the cool mornings and leaving the windows open! i just need to get in the fall spirit with some PSL or maybe buy some mums :)
