It’s been a crazy week, so much going on withmy Sherwin-Williams makeover and also another BIG makeover I am working on with Rebuilding Together. John’s birthday was Thursday and now my boys are off for the week, phew!

I wanted my boys to have this experience. With Murphy it was like they woke up one day and there he was, already in his senior years. They still loved him tons but never had that puppy experience.

Well….it has been 7 months that we have had him and he is now 9 months old. He is the biggest love and we all adore him so, even John.
