Life with a puppy and other events...



well, first of all...
Camden turned 7!! Hard to believe it, but we have a 7 year old boy!
and 2 days later... he started first grade!! He was very excited! had a great first day of school with only one mishap! He forgot to give his teacher a note that said that I would be picking him up from school daily. So the teacher made him get on the bus, which he was very upset about. But never fear, mommy was at home waiting for him to get off the bus. :)

okay, now...life with a puppy...


WHO KNEW HOW HARD THIS WOULD BE???
Nobody seems to talk about the fact that raising a puppy involves the same night time schedule as a newborn and the same daytime routine as having a crawling 6 month old baby with no diapers on???
Our house is INSANE!


We literally can't take our eyes off of him for more than a minute or he'll most likely have pee'd or poo'ed somewhere in the house. and of course if he hasn't done that then he MUST be chewing on something! Holy Cow!
honestly, i think he's starting to get a little bit better, but it's still a lot of work! he's 9 weeks old today and of course he's adorable..which is why puppies survive! if they weren't this cute... WHO WOULD EVER WANT ONE???
So all of that to say... WE LOVE HIM! ...despite his using the house as one big toilet, despite chewing my favorite flip flops, despite getting us up 2-3 times a night, despite the fact that Matt has had to clean out Kemper's kennel 2x which was too disgusting to write about... despite ALL OF THAT... we do love him. he is adorable and he's learned that laps are a pretty good thing, and he LOVES to eat! he has LOTS of personality and is a bundle of joy and energy!

Ha ha, I told you so! Remember all those interrupted conversations we had where you were patiently waiting while I scolded/clean/or put Oscar out? Yes, so glad I am not still doing that, talk about adding to chaos. My boys are about enough for me to handle at this point, and way cuter than Oscar was...
