Adventures await us...

During my absence of blogging Erik, Cooper, and I have been working very hard house, horse, and dog sitting my parent's home while they were in London/Scotland for 2 weeks.

Let me give you the low down on what a rewarding challenge it was for all of us to adapt to my parent's duties and responsibilities during that time. Let's see where do we begin our journey....

Day one:

oh no fellow blog readers that is not snow. I am afraid that was my parent's pool pillow that their new puppy Harley tore up. It took us some time to gather all fluffing, but we were glad it was done!

or so we thought... look closely that is PEE from the puppy


Day 2-5 we did not take pictures of bc I found out quickly I was highly allergic to horses and hay. I was on a lot of Allergy meds, so Erik had to take over from here. Then, the latch to the horse's stall broke TWICE. so, we took a journey to the nearest Feed store and found some latches and bought a few extra just in case those horses decided to test us again.

Day 6-15 After that it was just our waking up at 4:45 a.m. every morning and doing the duties until about 8ish that kept us all busy. Even Sammi and Cooper got along

After day 14th, we were exhausted and mentally drained. We wanted to end their trip on a GREAT note, so we all cleaned the house and did laundry for them to come home to.

Erik, Cooper, and I really did miss everyone! So, we made them a welcome home card and all signed it using our prints. It too...was a challenge to take a picture with all of us smiling so proudly.

We were challenged beyond our imagination, but our little family got through it! We were so happy to have helped and so blessed to have family that loves us unconditionally.

WELCOME BACK HOME MOM,DAD, RYAN, & Alex!! We love you guys :)
