We are at our lake house...bittersweet...no pup, no kids, no Sammie girl. My husband is just looking at me like hmmmm....hard transition and I'm not sure about all of this without them stuff. But we will be going to see Em, Sam and John in a couple of weeks in Costa Rica before the move to Equador. It is weird when you thought it always would be one way and it is just a shade different. xo nancNanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135130889558068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-77272756279238909222012-06-28T08:52:37.886-05:002012-06-28T08:52:37.886-05:00AWWWWW!

I have two wild and crazy lab mixes who think nothing of jumping up and licking my face, but then are amazingly gentle when little guys are around. I always wonder how they know…Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-65495546452547882742012-06-27T16:20:06.123-05:002012-06-27T16:20:06.123-05:00I love that I could see every little bit of this i...I love that I could see every little bit of this in my mind, what a lovely term--heartshot.

My eyes scanned ahead and I noticed there was no photo attached. I was slightly disappointed...until I kept reading and found the sweet picture you painted through words is better than a photo--or a jar for that matter! Anytime you want to return to this moment, just reread this heartshot. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing that terminology, btw.

Also love that Max was smiling as he fed Chloe under the table and was keeping you occupied with his talk so you possibly wouldn't take note. ;) Smart kid already.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-77002342248619531992012-06-26T16:17:23.417-05:002012-06-26T16:17:23.417-05:00awww, so sweet!

I also love the next sentence about pulling the memory out of jar when you need a smile. I think we should all have a jar like that. Maybe one for at school...one for at home...etc. :) What a sweet memory. I'm glad you shared it with us this week. I smiled too.<br /><br />bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205255058860911148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-64838706684508116572012-06-26T14:23:12.014-05:002012-06-26T14:23:12.014-05:00Isn't it wonderful to be a grandma and able to...Isn't it wonderful to be a grandma and able to spoil our grandchildren (notice I wrote this after Michelle so she won't see about the spoiling!). I can so picture your grandson and Chloe. Our Max doesn't care for anyone to be by him when he sleeps, so I don't see that happening with the girls. But that is one of those special times for you to remember when we need a smile.

Chloe must be the sweetest dog, Deb. I don't think there are many who would let a toddler, with grasping hands grab on. It is a sweet story. But also, I love the jabber, jabber/Maxspeak. Isn't that the most fun? They know they're supposed to be talking because that's what they've seen, but don't have the 'real' words yet. Such fun. Thank you for sharing so much about your life.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-2388788142850437022012-06-26T09:59:04.416-05:002012-06-26T09:59:04.416-05:00What a sweet story.
