The Shafferland Shuffle

Happy Sunday! Last Sunday feels like 100 years ago, and it was more than 100 pictures ago for us. #lifewithphoebe

* We actually didn't have Phoebe last Sunday...she was finishing up her weekend with her brothers, who watched her so we could do all Ryan's reunion festivities. We helped out at church that morning, working the sign-up booth for small groups! That afternoon, I made a Milky Way cake for the eclipse party at Ryan's work on Monday. It was SO GOOD. Phoebe came back Sunday night, and we took her for a sunset walk. Gorgeous!

* Monday was the big eclipse day, and in our part of Indiana, it wasn't all that exciting. It got cool out and the cicadas started buzzing (basically like evening), but I've seen it get much darker from storms! Nevertheless, Ryan was ready with his glasses! Pheebs and I stayed safely inside. I wasn't about to ruin my perfect vision, and I have no intentions of returning a blind dog!!

* Tuesday I had to go to Fort Wayne for a dentist appointment, and I got a great report at my checkup! This week marked three years since my oral surgery, and I continue to improve! I stuck around to have lunch with one of my WBCL friends, but I had to hurry home right after, because Ryan only had so much wiggle room in his schedule to get home periodically to tend to Phoebe!

* GORGEOUS sunrise on Wednesday. So pretty! Nothing really special happened on this day; just hung around home doing our thing! Phoebe helped me prepare for Bible study, so I guess that makes her extra spiritual.

* Thursday was eye doctor day for me; still have 20/12 vision! SWEET! Still can't handle eye drops. Sigh. Ryan needed to make a video for one of my friends who was having some nerve pain - to show her some pressure points or something. I was his video model, so Phoebe joined me in it!

* Friday night, we took a field trip to Lowe's, since it's pet friendly. We were "those people" shopping with our dog and our Starbucks. LOL! Here's a funny peek at our bedtime. Every night, Phoebe runs in and tries to claim one of our sides before we get there. It's a game to see whose side she picks each night.

* Yesterday, Ryan cut down a small tree in our backyard. Broke our hearts because it's SO pretty, but it's dying, so we had to cut it down. We had to take all the branches out to my parents' house for their burn pile (since we don't have one), and that was like a whole dog park for the Pheebster! She was SO excited to run, roll in the grass, and chase anything she could find. Fun day!
