Meet Boomer





My mom and her husband Dan were in town a few weeks back and we went to Babe's Chicken Dinner for lunch. If you've ever been or heard of Babe's, you know that even at the most random times of the day, you may end up waiting 30 minutes to 2 hours for a table...and you wait outside. We decided to wait for the Sunday lunch crowd to die down and we went to Babe's around 1:30. We had to wait for at least 30 minutes outside in the really cold wind. Neither Mylie or I were dressed to wait outside in the wind, so David took her across the street to this little gift shop where they walked around and looked at all the little gifts. They were gone about 20 minutes and when they came back, Mylie was holding the little doggie (the one she's snuggling above). I laughed and asked David what Mylie suckered him into. He said that as they were walking by the stuffed animals, Mylie leaned over and picked up this dog. He let her hold it for a little while and when it was time to go, he took it from her and put it back with the other animals. Mylie started to cry and wouldn't stop until he gave her the dog back. So, he bought it for her. She was smiling when they came out of the store and she now cuddles this dog as she goes to sleep, grabs for him when she gets out of her crib in the mornings and will sometimes just carry him around the house. It is precious! So we gladly welcome Boomer (that's his name) to the family!

That David is a total sucker. I have never heard of anybody doing anything so foolish just because a little girl asked. I mean the next thing you know she'll get whatever she wants. After awhile it just gets ridiculous. Seriously.
