Happy Birthday Gertie!

Today our sweet girl is 1!

With Gertie, life is a lot more complicated but a lot more wonderful. And when she's snuggled up by my feet, I truly believe that happiness IS a warm puppy.

So here's to many more years of Gertie!

And a final 4 things:

27. Christmas approaching, and a wreath from Diane and Jeff! It's hanging on our front door - Gertie still feels the need to save us from the wreath, but it looks lovely.

28. Living close enough to walk to a variety of things. Just recently, there is a new consignment shop!

29. Down comforters.

30. Gertie's antics.
