Catching up

So the last week or so was a little bit crazy. We had a wonderful time at Easter seeing everyone and bringing Riley home. Monday was the first day we really were alone at home and trying to figure things out with the new puppy. Tuesday Chris left for CA and things start to fall apart. I had a hard time - at first - putting Riley in her crate while I was here during the day. Which, unfortunately, left me constantly following after her and getting absolutely nothing done. Put that on top of trying to help Madison what she can and can not do with Riley, the stress at work and ZERO sleep - let's just say I was thrilled when Chris came home.

So over the weekend - we had lots of highlights. First and foremost - was Madison's 2nd Birthday on Friday and her party on Saturday. Daddy, Madison and I had a great time celebrating her birthday on Friday and then Saturday, well let's just say that Madison now has the biggest sweet tooth. The entire ride to Build a Bear was "cake" "cake" "cake""cake""cake"!!!!! But once we got inside and all of our friends arrived, we had a great time "building bears". Madison ended up with a monkey which is perfect b/c I call her Monkey.

We also decided to get a gate to go across our open area of the house to split it in half so Riley could roam around but not with too much freedom. Well on Monday - I decided to let her stay in the kitchen area......bad move. She is a magician and can get out of anything. Plus there were several "accidents" on the carpet. New Plan: Crate throughout the day. Walk in the morning, at lunch and in the afternoon and evenings. No free roam of the kitchen if I am working at home for at least several more months

On a different note - work still is stressful. We have a Asset Purchase Agreement with PwC but we still have to go through auction. Who knows who will end up buying us and if anyone will have a job....

Our house computer is getting fixed so once I get that back online I will post some of my 300 pictures from the last couple weeks!
