These Boots are Made for Walkin'............

Wow, its been another busy week at the Lantz Household. I am happy to report that Chris was promoted to Team Lead. We were so excited for him, and had a party about 3weeks ago. I guess we haven't posted since then. (Whoops!). At any rate, he's been very busy at work.

Likewise, I've been very busy. And apparently so has Addison. I say this because last night she went to her room and was very quiet. Chris and I wondered what she was doing. We then entered the room to find that she had opened a tube of Desitin and had smeared it all over her bed. She then grabbed a bunch of wet wipes and scrubbed her bed down, apparently. It was pretty funny, but what a mess!

Friday night we had dinner with Missy and Justin. Addison just insisted on wearing these pink boots, which are hand-me-downs from her cousin, Taylor. She was wearing a purple velour outfit, and evidently they were the perfect accessory. She was so upset when we asked her whether we should put different shoes on. So, we opted to let her be creative and wear the boots.



After dinner, we came home and painted our bathroom. It was supposed to be sage, but appears to be sort of a minty sage color. We are getting used to it, though. After that, it was getting late, but Chloe began to yelp in pain. We noticed that she had the same signs that Roxie had when Roxie had back issues, so we rushed her to the doggie ER. Turns out she has the same thing, and the doctor said that she would likely need surgery. However, he gave us the option of strict crate rest, which means she is required to stay in the kennel 24 hours a day and only get out to go to the bathroom. We cannot even hold her. This is very difficult because she craves attention, and we feel like such bad doggie parents. At any rate, it is what's best for Chloe. Chris and I were devastated-just thinking about what we had went through with Roxie and the cost and pain she must be in.

Changing the subject, the weather was also pretty crappy this week. It seemed to rain for days. Addison was saying "Rain, rain go away", or some similar verison, lol. Below please find a picture of Addie checking out the rain. She was OBSESSED with this! She repeatedly told us, "Door open" or "raining".



Addison has also been having a difficult time going to bed by herself. She wants Mommy and Daddy, and demands that we leave her door open and a lamp on (a night-light is not enough). She seems to be going through a phase. We let her sleep in our bed a few nights and then moved her once we went to bed. Look how we found her:



That book beside her, "Confessions of a Shopaholic" had been on the night stand. It appears as though she had been "reading" it. Like mommy like daughter!

One night last week, I went into our bedroom (after Chris and Addie had went to bed) and found this:



Two Peas in a Pod! Have a great rest of the week!
