A journey through my life. Currently defined by motherhood after pregnancy after issues with fertility. Also subject to my overwhelming conviction that people are stupid.
But not you.

Say Cheese!
Our dog is such a (sorry for the pun) camera hound. If she sees the camera, even when I'm trying to be ultra-sneaky and capture an existing cute moment, she stops what she's doing and goes into a pose. The above was taken after I told her to smile. What a nut.
Doc does that too! Except he's the opposite. If he's doing something photo-worthy, the minute I pull out my camera is his cue to stop doing said cute thing and instead shove his nose into the camera lens.
That really does look like a smile! Very, very cute puppy you have there. How's your current cycle going? I need to read back through your previous posts...
I'm a native Virginian. I'm proud to say that. Suffice it to say that members of my family have been in Virginia for a really long time. I'm married (10+ years) to a wonderful husband, known on this site as DH. Little One is a much longed for addition who joined us in July 2010. Higrens & Co. also includes 2 cats, and a dog. You can also find me on Twitter as Kiribitz. And hey, if you know me IRL, the stuff on here is not for sharing, thanks!
