Happy Halloween!! 2 years ago today....

We brought home Ollie!!

Looking at these pictures I cannot believe how small he is! He weighed about 12 lbs I think and now he weighs about 60! On Halloween 2009, Eric and I drove out to East Texas and picked up Ollie from a bird dog breeder. I had picked out his picture online so I knew which one we were getting. As soon as we met him, we loved him! He has always been a little on the hyperactive, crazy side and although there were days in the beginning, we wondered what we had gotten ourselves into, it all is worth it. The sleepless nights where he cried in his crate, the puppy sharp as needles teeth, and the cleaning up his messes no longer matter because he is such a great dog. I know a lot of you think Eric and I are tad obsessed with our dog, but he is our child right now. Although we are not planning on a human child anytime soon, having Ollie makes me that much more excited for a baby. I know we are going to be good, loving parents and having Ollie has made me see that I can love someone else so much. He is my running buddy and our constant companion and we couldn't ask for a better dog!

Hope everyone had a good Halloween weekend! We had a busy one. I had a Stella & Dot show on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. After that I went to a neighbors for a pumpkin carving party, went to dinner with Eric then out to McKinney Ave with Kate and Lauren for a Halloween pub crawl.

Here I am with the Indian and the Dino "Kateasaurus Rex". I wasn't in the dressing up mood but did throw on Halloween colors! I had fun looking at everyone else and their costumes.

And last but not least Happy Birthday to my brother, Matt!! He and Megan just welcomed Baby Merritt a week ago into the world and I am sure Merritt, Mason and Megan will make sure he has a wonderful birthday! I am so happy for their family of four! Miss you and love you!

So sweet!!!!!!! Happy birthday Matthew!!!!
