Growing Up

Guess who weighs 24 pounds? I couldn’t believe it! Just 4 weeks ago Wrigley weighed 14 pounds….he has put on 10 pounds! Our vet said he is right on track, so it is a healthy gain…but I am still in shock. I won’t be carrying him around much longer, which makes me so sad.

Wrigley is doing really well with “sit”. We signed him up for Puppy 101 classes that start in 2 weeks so he can learn some more commands…we can’t wait!

See his new name tag? My little boy is growing up!

    WOW! I can't believe it. He looks so big. I guess we will have to visit more often and soon or there won't be a puppy in your house.
    I miss all of you.

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
