What we did in Charlottesville

Filed Under: life

I thought we were going to get out and go on an adventure but you know what? It rained. No, wait. It poured! Not only that, but the boys wouldn’t get up early enough to drop Sean off at work so we didn’t have a car to get around in. One of Laura’s blog readers, Silvia, was incredibly kind and offered to meet us somewhere but guess what? I didn’t get her email to that effect until NOON. Jiminy Christmas. We had already trekked to Toys R Us in the rain and come back with Scooby Doo toys and coloring books. Well, since the boys had come back with activities to keep them occupied in the hotel room, I told them that I also needed something to do so I proceeded to torture them and take a gazillion photos. Here’s our trip to Charlottesville in pictures and, please try to ignore the fact that they are all in the hotel room, ok? Thank you very much!

This is what you get when your kids have had enough of your stinking photo-taking!

Doesn’t it look like fun? LOL

The trees were really beautiful though and we all desperately need this rain so I’m not going to complain about it. We’ll go back!

    Oh, and I love Ryan’s “Full-on Blue Steel” in the 4th picture. He looks so pensive.

    Wait, wait, WAIT. You almost got to meet Silvia? That is, like, so not fair!

    Actually, I’m kidding – and how cool! Did you find her through my blog? That’s even more cool! And do you live close to each other? Cuz that would be ALL the way cool!

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. ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season and I’m getting a jump on decorating this year.

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. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! 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!! ❤️❤️❤️
