Jasper needs a home

I tried to think of a thoughtful gift for Jeff for our anniversary that I wouldn't have to spend any money on. I thought about the things he loves . . . houses, poker, vacations . . . those were all too complicated so I settled for sugar cookies. My sister and I spent the afternoon making and decorating cookies with Ollie (her puppy), Ridley and Cooper. I wrote Jeff a poem and attached it to the cookie jar. I have to say - I always used to be afraid of poetry until just recently. Teaching first grade has taught me many many things and how to write a poem Lucy Calkins style is just one of them.



So, what did Jeff get me? Well, I got this picture text from him around lunch time.

"Can I bring him home?"

He had gone to my favorite pet store in the city on his lunch break and found this furry friend begging for a home. My very practical husband who thinks through every decision 10 times over, begged me to bring him home. As much as my puppy loving heart wanted to say yes, I knew it wasn't a good idea. We talked through what this would mean for our growing family and decided that it wasn't the best time for us to add yet another member to our family.
