From the kitchen, I could hear Sirius digging into our bed. Sure enough, when I got upstairs I found him like this:
Amused, I took the above picture to text to my husband and started to read in bed. Eventually, I wanted to get under covers. However, Sirius looked like he had no intentions to move anytime soon. I hate forcing him to move, so I slowly pulled the covers up instead, hoping he’d take the hint. Continue reading
My husband has always loved Legos, and has wanted to visit LEGOLAND Discovery Center Kansas City since it opened a few years ago. When Baby finally dropped his morning nap, we were excited to take him with us for a visit.

All three kept Baby very busy, which is why most of the pictures caught the back of Baby’s head. Continue reading
I interrupt today’s regularly scheduled post with a story from my day that I needed to share.
Sirius had been outside for 30-45 minutes give or take, as we were having some the freakishly nice weather for December (it was in the low 50s). I went to let him in, but he wasn’t there.
Oh no. Dread immediately set in. Continue reading
