A happy dog












Today Jak is happy. He is a white dog again. He has been bathed and brushed.

We knew that he was happy. Last night, he napped on the carpet upside down. You know, on his back with his legs sticking straight up in the air. His little orange squeaky bone was at his nose, where he could keep half an eye on it. Yes, he was a happy dog.

My sister was visiting from Perth last week, to see her nephew.

















I hadn't seen her for a couple of years, so it was wonderful to catch up and spend time with her. Her visit was probably not the best timing, as far as she was concerned, but it couldn't have come at a better time for me, as Jamie was in the middle of a bout of colic. Sonia arrived to find me frazzled and frustrated. She was a Godsend. She has the calming touch that converts a screaming baby into this...

















And while I had the opportunity, and the camera out...













Is that red hair? :0 I haven't been able to see one thing that Jamie has inherited from me, until the tint of his hair showed up here. Lol, that'd be right, of all my wonderful traits ;) I'd give him my red hair and skin that burns in the Aussie sun. Groan.

Today I have a list of tasks. My goal has been achieved - I have washed the car. Jamie is having a sleep. Now, what to do... vaccuum the bedroom, wash the dishes, or bring in and sort the washing... Gee I lead an exciting life!

you probably have the best life a woman could have kathie - you are being a wonderful mum to you precious baby and fitting in the rest of your life around the cuddles and the watching him sleep and the bonding as you feed and all the other special moments of being jamie's mum - and by the looks of your precious little man you are doing a great job.
can't really ask for more i reckon.

xo

p.s. jak looks like a very happy, clean puppy

Both your 'boys' are very cute Kathie. Jamie looks very content.
Know just how you feel about the excitement of life atm LOL. I think the outlook comes from three months of broken sleep - bring on babies who sleep through the night soon!

I reckon its about 10 years since I've seen Sonia - and she was blonde then!! Amazing how a hair colour can change a person...

Jak looks very handsome all washed.

I can't tell about the red hair on Jamie - it just looks a bit brown to me!

No more grey ears for Jak!!! So good that your sister was over at a time you needed her. Those colicky babies can just about drive you nuts!!! Hang in there Kathie, it will get better! I understand that some days you don't have to enjoy being a mother! That's alright, it is a tough job and no one says thankyou to you!
