I'm not going to lie, they have been difficult. I was so proud of myself for being so diligent about posting.
Then, on Tuesday July 17th the unthinkable happened - my precious little Bella died. Many of you know what happened and to be honest I really don't want to go through it again. Let's just say that she was accidentally run over and due to the extent of her injuries she died. I know that to most she was just one of my three dogs but to me she was SO much more than that. She had been my little shadow for almost 5 years and I honestly miss her every day. I have to say that despite the sadness I am so happy that she isn't suffering or in pain any more and I am a firm believer that we will meet each other again. But for now, she's my angel pup in heaven.
Thankfully for us, we've had a lot going on so it helped me take my mind off of my little pup. We were able to spend some time with our good friends Jeremy and Aubrie when they made a "pit stop" in Birmingham. We got to see Lauren and Steven and they were kind enough to babysit for us when we went to dinner with your good friends Rafa and Ximena. We ate at this amazing restaurant called Ocean and it was fabulous and SO delicious!
I was avidly pinning on Pinterest and found a tutorial on how to make a "tutu wreath" and boy was it easy!
You only need:
100 yards of tulle (I did 50 in one color and 50 in another and got them for 1/2 off at hobby lobby!)
A 8-10 inch wreath (I chose the straw wreath with the plastic cover - also 1/2 off at hobby lobby!)
1 large spool of 2 inch ribbon (I used this to cover the wreath before attaching the tulle so that you wouldn't see it)
Your choice of decorations!
I also made one for my sister in law!
This past weekend Daniel's parents visited for the first time since Eloise's baptism. We had a good time, Daniel played two shows so it was fun for them to watch him preform. They also really enjoyed spending some time with Eloise. I am happy to say that she had a blast and was able to pretty much stick to her nap/bedtime schedule which was nice! Here are some photos of her at the park for the first time!
