The Invasion

Jake, Lola, Roxie, Mr. Peanut and I all made it to the east coast, slightly worse for wear, but all here in one piece. Jake and I got here last weekend in time for Jake to celebrate with his aunt and uncles. Unfortunately the weather did not hold out and he was not able to show off his bod in his swim suit, but we all had a great time.

Lola spent some extra time saying all her good byes to her pack at doggie daycare. She took a daycare car service to the airport. What a diva. Lola is not a huge fan of flying, or walking on tile, so lots of grandpa help was needed to get her home. Lola also had a date with Ms. Manners. We are working on making her know she is not the boss. She is not allowed to sit on chairs, eat Lucas, or jump. We have lots of lessons to work on and are going to slowly start trying to get the two beasts to be able to share the house. Lucas has some very good sharing skills and really could care less about anything that is not edible. Lola is a different story. It is a slow process. Monday the electric fence teacher is coming for Lola lessons. In the meantime we are going on lots and lots and lots of walks.

Last night Lola and I went for a walk with grandma. We went down a back road near the house so that Lola would not be scared by all the car headlights.It was very dark. I saw something moving in the distance and told Grandma to wait a second because there were deer crossing the street. Lola wanted to play with the deer, but sat and waited like a good girl. Then the deer started running in circles. Then the deer charged us. I screamed out "Its coming after us" and looked back to see Grandma halfway down the block running in the opposite direction. I started screaming to get the deer to run away. It still charged after us. After realizing she left us as deer bait, Grandma came hopping and flailing her arms back down the road yelling " EHHH EHHH THATS WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THEM EHHH EHH". Lola was not moving anywhere. I kept screaming. Then I heard a small asian voice yelling " NO NO NO NONO HE GOT AWAYYYYYYYY" Turns out the run away deer was a run away labradoodle. After changing our route, Lola almost got hit in the face with a frog trying to jump across the road. This is why Grandma and I are not allowed to go anywhere together. And I wonder why Lola has issues.

Jake has been fussy. He is teething more and more each day and not really sleeping well and wanting to be held by mommy and mommy alone all day and all night. Hopefully one breaks through soon.

Happy Birthday America


Jake was not too sure about his new highchair


But he decided that he likes it.



Jake is learning his alphabet.


Traveling takes a lot out of a girl.



What a hot mess. This is what teething will do to you.
