It's definitely Winter...

Today we're supposed to get some decent amounts of ice and snow later.  Booooooo.  Kevin and I have big plans to stay home and hibernate.  We're going to watch some football, and I'm going to work more on my Christmas cards to send to people, as well as the few homemade gifts that I'm trying/hoping to make.  I'm hoping I finish some stuff today!  Fingers crossed!

Yesterday we drove down to Wilmington, DE to go to my dentist appointment.  Kevin came for moral support... I was feeling quite nervous after my last dentist appointment, when I had 2 cavities!  I had NO cavities this time.  Yay!  So then we ran a few errands while we were in Wilmington, and we had lunch at our favorite bar there and watched Kevin's favorite soccer team (Tottenham - they won!).  It's a really awesome British Pub named Stoney's, and they make amazing food (and their fish and chips is award-winning... Kevin loooooves it).  And in the evening we went out to dinner with Kevin's parents for his Mom's birthday.  We went to an amazing Italian restaurant that's near our apartment that we didn't even know about!  The food was amazing, and it's a cute little family-run place.  We'll definitely be going back!

We drove back up to the Philly area and went grocery shopping, and guess what I saw at the grocery store!!  BUMBLE!!!  Yes, the amazing abominable snowman from Rudolph was there.  We're still hoping to eventually find some sort of Bumble tree-topper for our Christmas tree.

Not too much else has been going on... Guinness has been more of a handful than usual lately (and by "handful", I politely mean "pain-in-the-ass"... just so we're clear).  He just turned 10 months old, and when we went to his vet appointment and weighed him, we found that our boy is 60 pounds!  So Kevin had guessed exactly right.  Our vet wants us to start the switch from Puppy dog food over to Adult dog food, so we just started that switch last night.  Our guy is growing up!  

Something new about Guinness is that he loves to hop up on the ottoman.  He tries to fit his whole body on it, but he's too large (or our ottoman is too small...)... so most of the time he just puts his front legs and body on it, and his back legs are still on the ground.  

He stayed like this (laying on my feet on the ottoman, chewing on his blue bone) for about 20 minutes the other day.

(he's giving himself a bath here)

I think he's becoming such a handsome pup!  

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Try to stay warm!
