This & That

We have a reason to celebrate in our department at work this week! My friend and co-worker, Kathy gave birth to her little bundle of boy on Tuesday morning. Jadin Michael arrived around 9am weighing 8 pounds, 11 ounces. Mel and I went to see him over our lunch break on Wednesday and boy is he beautiful!

I am so thankful that he made his arrival, and I know his mommy is too. The miracle of pregnancy and birth is a wonderful thing. And the baby that results is just perfect...you could say that holding him at one day old might have given me a little bit of baby fever. Maybe just a little.

It's okay though...we are not planning on having any baby Donaldson's just yet. Read: Mom, don't start freaking out and yes, my blood sugars have been excellent! :)

Mel and the cutie patootie!

Remember that I forgot to put dinner in the crock pot on Wednesday? Well, that resulted in a impromptu date night with the husband and we took Louie with us too! There is a little restaurant a couple block from our house that we had not been too and we thought this was the perfect opportunity. They have a small indoor eating area,  a drive-thru and a couple picnic tables outside. I can tell you wholeheartedly that this is the first time I have ever ordered food from a drive-thru on foot. Yep, we walked through the drive-thru carrying Louie. Please picture us jumping up and down on the sensor that tells them there is a car in the drive-thru. I promise it was a funny picture, I hope that we at least entertained some passerbyers! 

Dinner was pretty good and cheap. Stephen had a breaded tenderloin sandwich and I had grilled chicken. We shared a diet coke and a peanut butter frozen yogurt cone. They have a different flavor of yogurt daily! I am thinking that we might not be the first people to bring our dog through the drive-thru because they gave Louie a dog bone, ha!

After eating we continued our walk downtown before heading home. It was a great night!

I love this tree that we passed and the color of it's leaves. I took a couple home to dry out!

Look who is getting better and better at walking on a leash!

In motion picture...a little blurry, but fun!

So remember the cone I told you Stephen and I had? Well we I decided to see if Louie liked it once Stephen and I had enough for us. The verdict? He LOVED it. I could not stop laughing at how he licked the ice cream cone like he knew that's how you eat it. It really was too funny! We took hundreds several pictures of the hilariousness of it all, but really you just had to be there.

The little guy ate all the ice cream that we left in the cone and then started biting and eating the cone. Seriously, it was too cute!

I love our pup!

This was Louie after our walk. Keep in mind that we carried him for a large portion of it. He just tuckers out pretty easily, but he sure is cute when he is passed out!

Lastly, I want to share this picture of Louie. (sorry for the bombardment of Louie pictures, we just love him!). Stephen and I were in bed reading and I heard him roll over so I got up to check on him and this is how he was laying! He ended up closing his eyes and sleeping that way for quite awhile. We really have a silly dog on our hands!

How has your week gone? Hopefully well, but regardless; Happy Friday!

TGIF!
