what a week

we had a whirlwind of a week! Some happy and some heartbreaking moments. Over the weekend we stayed at the Sheraton on the Plaza and attended my sister-in-laws wedding. The weather was gorgeous, the kids were fabulously well behaved, and the wedding was perfect. We got to swim in the hotel and spend time with family. It was great!

However, before we left on Friday, we had a terrible Thursday. Our wonderful, beautiful, dog, Pikey got suddenly very sick and we had to put her down. It was tragic and heartbreaking and our family is still reeling with unbelief. Pike was the very best dog that anyone could have ever asked for. She was my little mini-mom always making sure that the kiddos were safe and sound. She followed me every night when they were babies and got up for every feeding. She licked their toes and made them giggle. She let the big kids walk her around and was ever so patient with them. She was perfect and we will desparately miss her.

we will always love you Pikey!
