lovely backdrop for a photo! but cute boy...

we spent another wonderful weekend in the mountains. this time bens and i met my parents at my grandparents place at lake burton. we had a relaxing time and i discovered the power of a recliner for a pregnant gal. man, those things are awesome. they put you in perfect position to alleviate any aches and pains. the weather was wonderful and made me wish fall would hurry up and descend on atlanta. if i could find a locale that had fall weather year-round, i would buy a one way ticket today. i know some love spring....but spring is too wet and humid. fall is where its at!

it is always crowded when i go and visit my parents. not because of the extra humans, but because we have three dogs and my parents have two! of course all of them are inside dogs...and bed-sleepers for the most part. one of my dads favorite dissension topics is how we are going to treat our three dogs post-baby. he thinks it is borderline irresponsible to have dogs in the house with an infant. hygiene is the thesis of his argument and allergies are his coup de grace. i know that our fur kids are going to be taken down a notch on the love totem pole, but I dont envision us (especially benson) relegating them to the lowly status of yard dogs. i think benson is still planning on them sleeping in the room with us...i dont want to make any proclamations about how things will or wont change ( i've had too eat my words too many time for that) but i will say that i am hopeful!

right now i have four super shepherds at my house for the next week. besides our three, i am keeping my neighbor carrie's 12 week old australian shepherd. ahhhh! it is going to be a hectic week. the pup is potty trained for her house, but i do not think it extends to mine! wish me luck!
