Duke: November 2, 2001 - December 5, 2011

2011-12-05T22:19:00.000-08:00

Our great dane/lab mix dog Duke passed away this afternoon. He was 10 years old, had gone blind a couple of weeks ago and even started to lose his hearing. He would get all weird, lethargic and confused at night and kept getting himself stuck in the strangest of places since he couldn't see. He would whine and moan all the time. Matt and I had decided that we were going to let the kids have one last day with him today and then we were going to take him to the vet tomorrow to be put down. He was just so miserable and clearly suffering. Today around 2 p.m. he took a turn for the worse. I knew he was dying. It was so sad to hear him suffering, if Matt had been available I would have begged him to shoot him. He was suffering. By 4 p.m. he was gone. Matt buried him out in the desert (hope that's not illegal!) and we told the kids Duke was in heaven. I thought Ethan would take it the worst, but actually Kate had the hardest time. Wyatt said "Duke in heaven wif 'enly fadder and cheezes kist." He figured it out right away. We almost got rid of the dogs when we moved, they were driving us crazy, but I am so glad he got to spend the last 2 months of his life with us. He really was a great dog and we will miss him. (SO many pictures but this is for our family's benefit so...It is kind of in chronological order.)

FREE Shutterfly Holiday Cards

2010-11-22T18:51:00.001-08:00

It's that time of year again! Time to gather the addresses, take pictures of your family in matching outfits and order your holiday cards! Lucky for me, I had our family pictures taken in August before I got hugely pregnant! Every year I search for the best deal and cutest layouts at all the random websites, and this year Shutterfly has saved me from that annoying task! They are offering bloggers 50 free holiday cards! I have ordered products from Shutterfly a couple of times (like photobooks and cards) and have really been impressed by their quality and the amount of options they have.

I cannot decide which layout is my favorite - that's how cute they all are! I usually go for the one picture card but this year we have so many cute pictures from our photo shoot that I am torn between doing just the one picture or 4 pictures. So many adorable choices, so little decision making abilities on my part!

Anyway, you should check out their site and see if you can get this amazing deal as well!

In case those links don't work, try this one: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery

Good luck choosing your favorite one!
