Mosaic Monday…Love, Joy, Sadness, Happy

I never managed a blog post last week, it was a busy week spent with lots of LOVE from my grandchildren. Jayme & family came last weekend to visit and meet baby Noah, Scott needed to leave on Sunday to go back to work but Jayme and the kids spent 4 extra days for more fun & family time. Bailey came to play as often as she could too!

Bapa and his girls in their motorcycle club t-shirts and a horse riding Princess.

We borrowed some baby chicks for Easter/Spring photos and here are some of the shots - I love the expression on Brooklyn and Bailey's faces when the chicks were first set down, they weren't quite as excited as meme thought they would be.

While the whole week of family was filled with JOY, it was really joyful to see Brooklyn and Landon pose with Mari and Noah! Mari is 2 months older than Brooklyn and Landon is 3 weeks older than Noah.

In the midst of all the family time we also experienced SADNESS as our beloved, Ruger, passed away. I always called Ruger my grandpuppy because he was Nathan's dog but has spent the majority of his life living here with Jeff & I. He was best of friends with Gabi our previous springer spaniel and when she passed he spent two nights crying, you can't tell me dogs don't mourn too.

I like to imagine there is a doggy heaven where Ruger and Gabi are reunited once again.

Yesterday, a new addition was once again added to our lives as we are going to raise a new puppy for Bailey. Just looking at this photo of Bailey meeting her new baby puppy, Maya, makes a person feel HAPPY!

Since this is Bailey's puppy I guess Maya Minnie is my great-grandpuppy :)

Hershey's life has also changed, I don't think she knew what hit her when a new puppy came out of our car! A few shots of Hershey meeting the little squirt that shows the size difference between the two dogs.

At the beginning, Maya wasn't afraid to show a little teeth if Hershey got to close but by this morning they are best buds even napping together on Hershey's pillow. So much work involved with having a new puppy once again but having a puppy for the grandchildren to play with is reward enough for all my extra time.

mosaic Monday…the girls

Nathan, Tammy & Bailey traveled north to see baby Landon this weekend and since I am still helping out at Jayme's I got to spend time with the girls. We had a tea party with frosted animal crackers (Bailey's favorite) and played with all Brooklyn's toys. Her little tent was a huge hit and turned into a gigglefest when they rolled all over the floor in it. It is such a joy to see them play together…if only they didn't live 4 hours apart.
