Earlier this week I shared with you our 'Mini Family Break' and our real reason behind having one (not that we needed a reason, of course) was to bring home our fur baby Schumi. We are officially a family of 5 (three humans and two fur babies). Schumi is a labradoodle and is the cutest bundle of chocolate brown fluff you have ever seen. He is named after legendary Formula One Racing Car driver Michael Schumacher (Steve is a HUGE fan) and brings the total number of boys in household to four - … [Read more...]
Piggy Pasta And More Food With Attitude

11 Months Of Cuteness
Sebastian, I have been feeling rather reflective lately on this time last year when your Daddy and I were waiting with baited breath for your arrival, we still could not truly imagine our lives with you in it even though we were all ready to welcome you.
