Adventures in Babysitting

So I'm niece-watching for a couple of days this week due to the fact the my sister's babysitter decided to run for her life take a little Christmas vacay!!  She's my "little girl I'm never gonna have", so I don't mind her being around at all!!

Love.Her.

She came with a little somethin' extra today!!  See, she's already celebrated one Christmas with my bro-in-law's side of the family, and this is what she ended up with...

a 7-week old Shitzu named Lolli!! 

How cute is she?!?!?

Now, I don't have a problem with dogs at all!!  But today, I was really wishing this little houseshoe of a dog was not here!!  Because this is what happened!!

Hesley fell in love with Lolli...like didn't want to let her go love! So everytime he had her this is what Emma was doing...

sobbing her little eyes out...sometimes it was a blood curdling scream!!

I finally had to make them put Lollie in the laundry basket so she could rest...they had worn her out!!

In all fairness to the children, there was ONE small moment of sharing and happiness...

But don't let 'em fool ya...as soon as the camera clicked, Hesley took off with her and the fight was on!!!!

Labor of Love

I heard this song for the first time in church this morning, and it brought tears to my eyes. Hope you love it as much as I did.
