Weekend Rewind: All dogs go to heaven

Worst start to the weekend ever.  I came home from work Friday and we had to make the tough decision to put our first family pet, Esea down.  Heartbreaking.  Trying to think on the bright side, we got him home after being in ICU for 6 days with kidney failure and we got to spend a week and a half with him after being released, we loved him around the clock and we were with him as he passed plus we have 14 years of memories with him.  I could have never imagined the helpless, heart ache we would feel.  We made it thru and weekend and are hoping for brighter days ahead.

On a brighter note, we hosted a BBQ for a niece and nephew yesterday.  It was scheduled for last weekend but we moved it back since we were in a soccer tournament.  With Esea passing on Friday, it was great to have family over and relax.  Simon originally wanted to do the cooking but with everything going on, we decided to have BBQ catered by a local restaurant.  It's still warm here so we let the kids swim and the adults chatted by the pool and watch the games on.

I got out the snow cone machine we have and of course we had the music playing so the kids could sing and dance.  They bring so much love and are the perfect way to get thru tough days.  I am ready to do a little fall decorating and certainly ready for some cooler temps so I can break out my new scarves.  Hope you all have a super week!
