Cup Runneth Over

Filed Under: Uncategorized

We are truly living a blessed existence. We have a busy week lined up of kid moshes with friends and it feels like we have more friends than we can shake a stick at right now. It’s awesome! This weekend we spent it together and with my sister and her husband. We watched movies, ate dinner, played, shopped. It was a full, fun weekend and as I sit here gathering my thoughts for the upcoming week, I’m reflecting on how wonderful it was to be with all the people I love for the past couple of days.

Here are a few photos I took this weekend.

Ryan created his own version of a Link costume from items we had around the house then he wanted me to take a photo of his best Link pose.

Yesterday was my mother’s birthday and my sister and I cooked a big lunch for her to celebrate it. We made teriyaki chicken kabobs, a salad, and the piece de resistance, banana pudding. Not just any banana pudding though, it was a Paula Deen recipe called “not yo momma’s banana pudding“. Run don’t walk to the nearest grocery store for the ingredients and make it this week. It will be the most unbelievably delicious version you have EVER eaten. I promise.

    Ryan is the spitting image of Link! I should know, Link’s posters adorn my 10 yo’s bedroom walls!

    Hey Chrissy! Thank you! I was playing around with something new by making the photo look vintage in color and then adding a textured layer over the top to make it look scratchy. It has taken some getting used to because I usually just edit my photos straight and don’t do any crazy treatments to them but I see other people do it all the time and thought it would be fun!

    Hi, Chris! My 9 yo has a Link poster, too. We’ve been on a major “Twilight Princess” kick here for the past few days!

    Hey, Kim! When you make that pudding, be prepared to be ruined from ll other banana puddings for the rest of your life! It’s that damn good.

    Nice to see you guys here this morning!

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
