Tugging at my heartstrings...



Dear Morgan,

It's been almost 3 months since you left us now... your new house must think I'm nuts for writing you a letter... but not a day goes by we don't think of you and miss you like crazy. We watch the videos posted for new glimpses of you and pray every night that you will find a home filled with love, room to run, and lots of pigs ears ;) I can't apologize enough for leaving you, I can't imagine how confused you must be, but please know we didn't know what else to do to help you. We are forever thankful to everyone at Bob's House... we didn't know if we'd ever see that cute little tail wag again. It's nice to see you playful and not shaking and crying... sure wish we could have done that for you here.

Everyone told us that Lilly was young enough and would soon forget... but they must have underestimated the love the two of you shared! She asks about you everyday and laughs when she sees the videos of you running with the other dogs... "Morggy is happy again!". I know how hard it has been on her to lose her best friend... and although you probably don't miss being used as a landing mat, dressed up, or being walked around the house on your lease for hours... I'm sure you miss her too!

Logan is getting big and you would LOVE all of the food he now drops on the floor! That was when you first started to appreciate Lilly... when she could feed you :) The vet wasn't too happy about all the weight you put on those few months, but we laughed and just took a few extra walks! :)

Things just aren't the same without you here... but I'm so thankful that you're not as stressed and you're in good hands.

We love you Morggy! Big hugs and belly rubs!

The start of wedding season











With Tom out of town for a bachelor party, I was left to fend for myself at the start of wedding season! Now, normally I wouldn't complain. Free beer, good music, great company... but I had two small children in tow... and I wasn't quite sure how they would do. As it turns out Lilly LOVES weddings! She danced every song (minus the father/daughter dance where we had to drag her off the floor and bribe her with a sip of sprite... not my finest parenting moment... but I did what worked at the time). A true social butterfly she made friends instantly... it was so much fun to watch! Speaking of watch... Pa never took his eyes of her... especially when she was slow dancing with her "boyfriend". I guess having three daughters makes you attentive to those kinds of things... I should've known he'd be equally as protective of his granddaughter! Bring on wedding season... the Hooper kids are ready! Congrats to Katie and Cory... we had a wonderful time at your wedding!
