What's Going On

I've been the worlds worst blogger this summer!! I've totally been out of my routine which is exactly the reason why. I've had house guests, I've spent more time at my parents house in the last few months than I have in the last few years....it's just been crazy! So what's been new? Hmmm....The girls are blonde now and have a buzz cut. I knew they would look different because their new growth wasn't black anymore so I prepared myself for a change but when I saw these new puppies I gasped and couldn't believe it. They are way lighter than I thought they'd be. Plus their hair is entirely too short. We will definitely be growing it out. I asked for the Holly cut. This is not the Holly cut. I think their legs, ears and face will stay the same but I still expect to see change in their body hair color. I think Madison is going to be totally blonde all over--exact color as her little legs and I think Ivy's little body is going to get darker and match her face. This photo was taken 7/16 and they already look different.
Grace is here with us for the next week! Mom and Dad are in Napa so she's staying with us then Mom and Grammy are going to come up next weekend to watch the pups because Scott and I are going out of town for a wedding. Grace, Ivy and Madison will be together for almost a whole month total and I'm so worried about them all when Grace leaves to go home and things get back to "normal." I feel like they'll be really sad.
Dare I say we are 100% totally potty trained? I probably shouldn't but I'm going to. They've finally started to get completely terrified of me when they get in trouble and are learning what "bad girl" "quit" and "NO" mean.....and good girl too of course!!! We are also starting to figure out that the word "treat" is a really good thing. Baby steps for my babies!
I haven't spent quality time with my husband in over two weeks. I'm glad to be back to normal and I'm looking forward to a fun and easy weekend.
