I know I left you hanging on the last post.
Say hello to Stormy. She's the new puppy that is making my in-laws feel like they have a newborn (they already have two older Labs and Stormy is quickly trying to get into the mix). The night we met this cute little gal, I knelt down to snap photos. In all her soft furry glory, she walked up to me all sweet and innocent, jumped up and nipped my camera lense. Feeling all dog whispery, I squeezed her little muzzle off the camera with a gentle "no bite." Only to have her jump at the straps. I'm in love.
But it has been a stormy few weeks for the crazedparent family, hence the lack of posts.
A very dear and sweet member of our extended family passed away after a brief, painful and battle with a rare cancer. It's not my place to share all of the details here. But I can tell you it was my brother's mother in law.
On my brother's wedding day, she said that she felt like she had inherited two new daughters in me and my sister. And that's exactly what being a part of her life was like.
I haven't quite made sense of it all. And I'm not sure that it ever will make sense.
