Goodbye to an Old Friend

This might look like an ordinary slipper to you, but to Aggatha Bojo it has been a dear friend and plaything. Brian gave me these slippers (yes, there used to be a pair) for Christmas 2002. I loved them. A few short months later, we brought home a cute little one pound yorkie. I would wear these slippers all the time. We first knew Aggie liked them when she would spring out from behind furniture to attack my feet while walking. We thought she liked them because they were furry. I tried to teach her that they were my shoes, but I gave it up when she peed on them. They became Aggie's slippers.

You might be wandering why we are deciding to retire these blessed slippers. Well, for one thing they stink to high heaven. They have been washed and bleached many times- they still stink. Aggie has horrible breath and I guess she slobbers on them when she plays tug-of-war. Believe me, it is high time to get rid of them. I have decided to give her my current pair in hopes that Santa will bring me a new pair next Christmas.

So, Aggie- here's to many good times with the old slippers and here's to many more with the new ones!

Sick as a Dog

Mary Kate has had some kind of funk for two weeks now. I took her to the doctor on Monday and he treated her for the croup and gave me an antibiotic and told me to wait until the next day to see if she was any better. Well, she wasn't, so we started her on the medicine. She is slowly recovering but is still very grouchy. All she did on Tuesday was watch Baby Einstein. Aggie decided to watch her for me so I could take a moment to reclaim my sanity. Thanks, Aggie!

First Prayer

When we put Mary Kate to bed we always pray with her before she goes to sleep. The other night Brian was putting her to bed and she said her very first prayer. She said "Hi, Jesus." Of course, Brian thought it was the sweetest thing he had ever heard. I thought it was sweet too, but I heard it second hand. I assure you, she is not always so sweet and spiritual as showcased below-one of her many fits. This one involved a piece of blue sidewalk chalk and an eyeball.

Before Easter and After

Sorry for the delay of posts. We have been out of town for a couple of weeks. We went to Texas for a week and had a great time. We came back and had Easter and then left for my parents house. Brian had a conference in Atlanta and my sister had two soccer games. She scored her first goal and we were there to see it! It was very exciting. We don't have any pictures of Texas yet, because we were goobers and let Pops take all of the pictures.

This is a picture of my sister and I after her first soccer game. She told me that it better not be on the blog so, here it is! I have to mention that she only scored one goal because she plays a defensive position. The coach put her on offense so she could score since it was "Senior Night."
