Christine’s parents were in town for the past week for her mom’s annual cookie bake in St Louis. While they were here, an offer was made on their house back in Charlotte. After several counteroffers back and forth over the weekend, the buyers accepted the final offer on Monday. My in-laws have to be out of the house by the 2nd week of January. So they extended their stay and spent the entire week making arrangements for movers and storage while also customizing every aspect of the house they’re building here in town. Christine and I are working on cleaning out Daniel’s old playroom so her parents can stay with us while their new home is being built (the guest room is being converted into the nursery).

Her parents bought us a new bed for Christmas; the previous mattress was so old it literally was a pain to sleep on it. And with Christine pregnant, it’s not good for her to have sleepless nights and back pain. The new bed is a welcome change; king-size and firm. We still wake up several times at night – she because of the pregnancy, me because of Salem (I’ve been told that the dog is prepping me for the baby).

My poor puppy. He’s been going through some pain the past several days. We’re not sure what it is. Salem grunts or cries when jumping down off the bed, down from his window, or even going down the stairs. We try to keep him from jumping up (in a lot of cases, he can’t contain his excitement). We placed a temporary “bench” by his window so he can take it easy getting down.

He seemed to be worse this morning, crying when CL tried moving him on the bed. He was pretty mopey. He hadn’t gotten up to go out at all last night; we had to make him go before I left for work. Tomorrow, he sees the vet for his yearly shots; we’ll see what they have to say.

Salem was laying in the sun as he worked on what we refer to as a “special treat”. He looked cute and glowing, soaking up the sun and chewing on his treat. As you can see from this pic, he’s all done with it.
