Sick Puppy at Christmas Time

Emma hasn't been feeling well today. Pout. In the morning I get up with Miguel and I take the dog out, feed her, make Miguel's lunch and breakfast, give him a hug and a kiss, and then Emma and I go back to bed when he leaves. Emma curls up next to me and we both get some more rest. However, this morning she was restless and kept moving around and jumping on and off the bed. Then I realized she was shaking. The last time she acted that way was when she ate the tennis ball and had an upset stomach for the day. So Emma and I camped out in the bathroom where, if she got sick, it would be easier to clean up. She was insisting on cuddles. She wanted to be on. I felt awful for her. I wanted to make her feel better so badly.


Poor puppy. 

She seems to be feeling better now. She's not shaking any more. Maybe it's the Christmas cheer Miguel and I put up yesterday!

Miguel was a BIG help unwinding the lights and playing with the lights so they would all light up


All we need is some presents under the tree

I'll try to remember to get a night time picture... prettier when the lights show up.

We don't have a fireplace, so we had to improvise 

These usually just have some rope wound around them, but the candy is festive!
Also, over thanksgiving break I bought these wooden wall hangings at a consignment store. Thought they were pretty. What do you think?


I also baked a new cake this morning... check out my Bored to Baking blog!

Thanksgiving Part 1


Miguel and I just got back from Thanksgiving part 1 at my parents house. I'm holed up in our room resting for a bit before we start round two at the Amadors house. So much extravert-ing! It's great, but I just get worn out and need a break to re-energize. Sooo, I'm using this time to blog. Here is the Leeper Thanksgiving in pictures:





My brother-in-law, Jared, and my Gramma
Love my daddy!






The boys went outside to play football



Sarah and me with the wishbone
we couldn't break it for a while, but I lost, so guess Sarah's wish will come true
We played Apples to Apples after dinner





Next we played Pictionary Telephone


we started with "Grapes of Wrath"

And ended with "Tahitian Cabana in a rainforest"


Umm... two hours after we ate Miguel is looking in the fridge for more food

Sarah was wiped



Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to my father-in-law, Pedro! Last night we celebrated with his favorite, chocolate cake. 


Make a wish!

My brother-in-law, Adrian.


One of my favorite things! Pedro's espresso! YUM!

This morning it's Thanksgiving! Yay! We woke up well rested, turned on the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade, and had some coffee. I love family and holidays! 


Emma loves her uncle Adrian
Miguel and I took Emma and Scottie out to play.  Emma did HUGE puppy circles. I'm thankful Miguel's parent's house is not on a busy street!

Emma is that tiny dot in the distance




Poor Scottie has to stay in the front yard while Emma does circles around him, rubbing in the fact that she doesn't have an electric collar







Then I took some pictures of the landscape. I am loving the overcast, fall-like weather!








and check out the orchids that my mother-in-law grows!


Beautiful!
