On the 12th day of Christmas...

3 puppies snuggling, 2 parents napping and a baby kicking me constantly :) That's been our Christmas day so far! Today we've enjoyed pancakes and sausage and lounging around on the couch - we haven't even opened gifts yet :)  We both know that next year will be a totally different story.  

We went to Christmas Eve service last night and enjoyed some great Christmas carols and seeing (and hearing) at least a hundred kids hyped up on pre-Christmas adrenaline and sugar :)  Eric and I had to laugh, our lives are about to change dramatically!

I have to say one of my favorite things is to sit on my couch on a Saturday morning, with a good book, a cup of coffee (decaf for the last several months) and my puppies curled around me. I know that these days will be few and far between after Owen comes, so I'm soaking up every last one I can.

Since this blog is called "3 dogs and a Baby" I thought it fitting to spend a few minutes talking about the 3 pups that have been our "children" thus far. We have two chihuahuas - Sophie and Sebastian - that I brought to the marriage with me.  Eric was skeptical of them at first, but Sophie is now firmly "daddy's dog" and he often admits how much he'll miss her when she's gone. For Valentine's Day in 2008 we got a "big dog" for Eric.  Shady is part german shepherd, part golden retriever and too sweet.  She's still pretty energetic and gets into trouble on a regular basis, but we love her.  I have very fond memories of our german shepherd Heidi and I can't wait for her and Owen to be great friends when he gets older.

So here are a few pics of the pups.  Merry Christmas from the Oslunds!
