Happy Birthday Alison!!

Thankful Thursday

For anyone who knows my Dad it's probably not surprising to learn that 48 hours into his trip to Scotland he and NBH started building a fence and gate. When we bought our house there was a fence along the back of our property and along the left side, but not on the right and not along the front sides.

Now Emma can run around in the backyard without a leash and more importantly have her morning constitutional without NBH needing to take her for a walk.

Thank you NBH and Daddy!

NotBlondeHusband and I have decided we need to take all the corny/cliched baby pics, like this classic:

"Baby in the laundry basket"

What are some other ideas we should try?
