babies... and dogs

last weekend, our family huddled around the computer and watched old home videos. most of them were of Zack as a little tyke. I cannot believe HOW CUTE he used to be!!! What happened??

we all cheered him on as he crawled up the stairs, emptied the tupperware drawer and laughed when he spit at the camera. After 20+ videos, I told the kids it was time for bed. As I tucked them in, Ben said, "I wish we had another baby now that Zack is big." I tried to fight back tears because that's my wish, too. (second to WORLD PEACE, of course.)

Then Ben asked Zack, "Don't you want to have a baby?"

Zack pulled a growl face and said, "NO! I am not a grill!"

Ben laughed and Luke clarified, "But don't you want Mom to have a baby?"

Zack sat there for a minute and then quietly said, "Um--- I just like dogs."



we may just have to settle for one. but you better believe it will be a GIRL!

My fingers are crossed! Baby or Dog..it will just make for more fun posts for me to read even though I agree with Ben and hope it's a baby someday soon :)

I am secretly grateful that Daddy is allergic to many furred things, including dogs. That way I can blame the no pets thing on him. We have a cool fishtank though, with turtles.

Clay approached the dog subject once again last night. The answer is no, always will be. But a baby...that I could do. No comparison.

My heart goes out to you. 2 years of miserable trying finally resulted in my baby Nathaniel. I'm afraid, to me, "trying" isn't nearly as fun as just say...practicing. Best wishes to you!
I am deftly trying to avoid the dog thing for as long as possible. I know my husband and kids will all rally against me someday, but until then I'm going to enjoy my pet-free life.
