There is so much to write about and so many pictures to share.
We finally made it home today – phew!
Barry’s dancing around with Maggie attached to his chest listening to our iPod on random.
We are so in love with this little girl.
So strange that Today is Thursday and we’ve got a sweet little thing to smooch on because on Monday I was certain that I still had another week of being enormously pregnant.
I need to go watch the dance moves that Barry’s busting out with Maggie. Syd and I are great audience members.
Tomorrow I’ll write about how our week started out….

As Barry mentioned our camera card has been rescued from the depths of our trusty computer. I had forgotten that Barry got a new camera just yesterday. Here are some stills from this sunny afternoon at HBHQ.
Enjoy.

Little Known Fact #9,432 About Sydney:
She only chews on one side of her bones. She is very, very particular about which side of the bone she ‘works’ on.
We think she’s a bit Type A.

I know this blog seems to be about sleep patterns lately, but sleep weighs on my mind quite a bit lately.
This morning Barry and I were up and starting our day and Sydney still hadn’t budged out of the bed. This is typical behavior for her, as she loves to make a nest and take up as much real estate as her little body will allow.

Eventually she peeled herself off the bed and came to see what we were up to. After discovering that what we we doing didn’t amount to much, she immediately turned around and headed back to make a new nest.
I am so jealous.

Syd has been moved to the back seat since Hannah’s lap no longer accomodates a Pug.

The Tubby Torpedo is three today! She started her morning off by hiding in Maggie’s room under the swing in an attempt to avoid the walk. Both Barry and I are proud that after all these years Sydney still finds new hiding places in order to avoid putting her harness on.
We love our little dog.

Sydney’s eyes bugged out of her head – more than they usually do – yesterday when I came home from work because the staff at my school showered me with a baby shower and all the new gear came home.
It was overwhelming, as the people that I work with are extremely generous and creative.
More on that later, but I wanted to share with you Sydney’s reaction as Barry and I unloaded the car.
Not to worry, her eyes have popped back into her little head and she’s snoring right now, so I don’t think she is too agitated over all the new things.
We’ll just have to make sure she stays out of the baby bath tub.

While Barry and were taking some pictures in the middle of the Skagit Valley this weekend Sydney was understandably upset that she was not the focus of many of the photos.
Barry had to take a few minutes and talk her down from the rage that she was feeling.
Have you ever seen an upset Pug? It isn’t pretty.
She’s going to have to share the limelight very soon – thats the message we’re sending her.
Ohhhh…..it gets her blood boiling!!
