last week we got miss london for the entire weekend!
she was positively delightful.
no crying.
loves to cuddle…even with craig.
slept 11 hours the second night….too long…made me nervous.
she likes to go on walks and catch bubbles in our driveway.
and waffle loves having her here.
more snacks for him.
london learned very quickly that if she threw food on the floor…he'd come get it.
it was a constant flurry of people and action during her visit.
but we loved it.
anytime you need us russ and jenn…we are ready for london.
it's a lot easier than actually having another baby.
we'll just borrow yours.

My First Kitchen - Love your floors. I mean the kids are cute too, but wow. LOVE those floors. Okay, that sounds incredibly insensitive. I promise I love children. And that video of your son with the tooth drugs… that’s the best blackmail material I’ve ever seen.

Cynthia - How cute? Love your blog and your family.
Penny - Borrowing babies is fun. We do that with the nieces and nephews often. Love them and then send them home! I absolutely love Waffle. We have two Golden Retrievers. We will be breeding our female with a standard poodle very soon. So we may have a bunch of little waffles too!
I love your blog, thank you for sharing glimpses into your world.
Laura - Lauren looks so peaceful/in a good mood/loving in the picture of her and London…that sweet little baby should come around more often, might do wonders for Lauren…
God Bless,
Laura
sandy toe - I am coming over from Simply Me…what a fun blog…I think I may be here to stay:)!

Lazy Mom Leslie - London is adorable! Waffle is almost as cute! He looks like a huge muppet. This Lazy Mom loved getting a dog when my kids were toddlers. Tootsie ate up all the crumbs off the floor. And with toddlers there are tons!
traci - she is getting so big. her blue eyes are beautiful. i bet you all had a great time. that’s the best way to have a child, for the weekend, they you can send her home.
Shannan - I thought for sure I’d be the only one to fully appreciate that high chair…wrong again. What a find! And it’s true, Waffle is ginormous! And it’s also true that London is a gem. I love her name.
Brittany - I love your house. When we buy a house, I plan on it being a combo of your house and Nie Nie and Mr. Nielson’s house. Love them both.
Cherry Tree Lane - Um…the post was so sweet, but the only thing I could concentrate on was the highchair! WHERE?!?! Did you get that?!?!?!?!
erica - That last pic with Talby looks like YOU!!!
She’s a cutie!
Sometimes I think about baby #4, but I agree, borrowing is a lot easier! 🙂
Suzanne - wow! 6 kiddos in the house…you’re incredible!! we’re really seriously thinking of trying for #4 here before long & i just need to keep reading your blog & see how you handle it all…the good/bad & ugly & even host other’s children:)
ooh…i wanna buy some of your bottle cap magnets…so, so cute! could you “sell” your house for a weekend too?? i’d love to see it in person & would pay for that for sure:)
Kraesc - Meg,
I’ve been a lurker for a while. I LOVE your blog. You inspire me so much! Also… I’m in love with your dog!!! What kind is he? And I hope you answer the shedding question because I want one and if he’s a shedder, I won’t be allowed.
I also just wanted to thank you for having such a big heart and for helping people out… you don’t see that often enough anymore.
Thanks!
chris - That dog is huge , wow , and a wicker high chair come on where do you get this stuff .
Allikayes Mama - Waffle is a B-I-G dog!! hehehe!
Darby - Meg.. I know you get a million questions a day… but that Waffle… he’s really something. I must know… does he shed? I got really close to the computer screen and looked at your floors and I can’t see any hair… either
a. you just swept
b. he doesn’t shed
c. you “photoshopped” all the hair out
Which is it?
And London… she’s an angel too! Yes, borrowing is much easier! 🙂
traci - London is precious!! You have the BIGGEST HONKIN DOG I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW…is he going to stop growing?????? Seriously, he is HUGE!!!!! Its good he is a sweet dog or you would clearly be in trouble..lol
WOW, he is huge!!!
Christy - Cannot wait to see what you come up with for Etsy!
London is precious! Love that wicker highchair!
