Hanging Out with my Sister

Another wonderful Saturday with Jaime. Jeremy had training in Indy all day on Saturday and that evening they had an officer's dinner, so Jaime spent the day with me. We went shopping and out to lunch at Olive Garden and got pedicures. Then I went up to their hotel room to help Jaime get ready for their formal dinner. They looked absolutely wonderful, Jaime in a beautiful blue dress and Jeremy in his dress uniform. I was so jealous! I love getting all dressed up but never have a reason to. Nate was such a good boy and just chilled on the bed watching tv while I did Jaime's hair and make up. He really is a good boy. When we go to church people come up and comment how good he is after the service. But I do look forward to the day that I can go to church and fully absorb the sermon, because while I have Nate, I have to concentrate on keeping him happy and I can't give my full attention. Or when we're out eating lunch I can't sit back and completely enjoy my meal because we're busy handing him back and forth across the table, and so it will be nice when he can stay at home with Daddy and Mommy can go to lunch with Aunt Jaime, all by ourselves. Although I know at the same time how hard it will be to leave him for the first time, as he's been by my side since he was born.

Now that the snow is almost gone, the problem of the dogs escaping has returned. Or should I say dog. Sammy was a good dog and decided it was best to stay in the yard. Benny, however, did not. So I bring Sammy inside and then put my shoes and jacket on to get Benny, just to find him in the back yard again! He had crawled back under the fence so that he could come inside too! He is absolutely ridiculous. He's the only dog I've ever seen that when escapes, not only stays around the yard, but turns himself in as well. I guess it's good I don't have to worry about chasing him down the street.
