The Return of Dorian

We got old Dorian back when we went to Ore City last weekend. Its been 6 whole months with no dog and our yard looks fabulous. Although I'm not thrilled to have him back digging in the yard and smearing his dirt and fur all over the house, I did sorta miss him. The girls are thrilled to have him back. E had to buy him tons of things at Target and loves going out back and throwing his ball for him. Berkley can't take her eyes off him and loves to pet him. I haven't taken any pics with him yet but here are some of my favorites of him and Elliott.

Here is E with D when she was about 11 months old.

Here they are last summer he had just given her a big sloppy kiss Here they are in Feb before he left to live with Brandy and the kids.
Elliott has been cracking us up as usual. Her new favorites are "its not fair" and "its not my fault" It is really hard to keep a straight face when she busts out with either of those. I'm sure someday I won't find it so funny, but right now it is too cute. Things that aren't fair include, not being able to have 100 cups of juice a day, not being able to go to Target everyday, having to take a rest, having to eat a banana instead of fruit snacks. My aunt sent her a old school pile of computer paper from my grandpa's house. You know, the kind that is all attached. She of course traveled through the house leaving a nice trail. I didn't get mad or anything, I just picked it up and put it on the shelf since we were about to have dinner. She ran to her room (another favorite) screaming that it wasn't her fault. I almost died laughing.

Miss Berkley's new trick is shaking her head no and smiling. It is so cute, I spent a good 20 minutes trying to get it on video yesterday, but had no luck. I think she's tiring of it already. I love her little laugh, E likes to lay her head on B's belly and Berkley likes to pull her hair and laugh. It is so wonderful to watch them together, Elliott is such an awesome big sister.

Dorian reminds me so much of Jake! I'm glad the girls are loving his return. Elliott is such a great big sister - Berkley is lucky to have her!!

Well, I hate to hear that your yard is going to go to pot, but I'm glad the girls have their D back. :)
