Talkin' Back

Gus is preparing me for when I have teenagers! :)

All Tuckered Out

Here you can see our little Gus. He has such a sweet personality and he loves to cuddle!

The Best Gift

This is Gustav Pagel..aka "Gus" He is the newest addition to our family and we love him very much. He is super smart, playful, and loves to be with his pack. Initially herding dogs, welsh corgis love to "herd," by running alongside the pack, making sure things are in order. He loves people and that is the best thing about him! There are no strangers to him...just friends he hasn't met yet :) Thank you Ryan for the best birthday present ever...I'm so glad we prayed about him, because he is such a good dog so far. I'll be posting more photos and videos of his antics, especially when I have the time!

Little Visitors

Our house is also a lounge and play pen for all of my nieces and nephew! Here is Isabelle, enjoying a Baby Einstein puppet movie...(she loves movies, just like her mama). Izzy--you can come over anytime...your aunt Natty knows how to relax!




Ellie was definitely ready to go for a swim as soon as she came to Aunt Natty's house. She wasted no time--stripping in the living room into her most adorable swimsuit and sunglasses!

Lookin' Sharp

Recently Ryan has had many job interviews so he's had to look super sharp. I, of course, had to grab the camera to take a couple shots of my man...He's so adorable. :)I only hope that the right company sees his adorableness. (He would hate me writing about him like this...oh well) :)

Feathering the Nest

I'm like the little red hen fluffing and feathering my nest. It's so much fun. I've found a new love of going around to bargain stores to hunt for treasures for the house. I've found some beautiful things....Some "blue and white" delft pattern dishes for decoration, a Cezanne print for the kitchen, and some hand-stitched napkins...In the living room some of my favorite themes are antique maps, Vermeer prints, and warm soft lighting. It's looking more and more like home and I'm especially enjoying my kitchen...wherein I have been making gluten-free dish specialties such as pumpkin cheesecake! So, please come enjoy our home with us!
