Unexpected disaster.


I got to see Elias today. He is so cute and has such an adorable personality already. I just can't hold him enough...well except when he starts crying ;) I've held plenty of babies but I always hold them like an egg--fragile and ready to crack with one false move...but Ashley and mom just handle him like a real person...I'm sure I'll warm up to that one day but for now, I'd feel really bad if I ripped an arm off or something. After dinner, we raced home because we were late getting back to feed Corky. The entire time, we were talking about what we were afraid he may have destroyed...he does that when he gets mad or feels lonely. The only thing we could think of that we had left that MIGHT be of interest to him was the tablecloth. We get home, fully expecting to see the aforementioned tablecloth in shreds to not finding Corky at all. Then we hear him barreling down the stairs...and we remember....we forgot to close the bedroom doors. Upstairs, we find clothes that had been in the dirty laundry strewn about, some shredded some looked as though they had simply been carried around for fun...and then over by the bed, the trashcan was tipped over and all the kleenex and random trash was EVERYWHERE. One thing about it, Corky certainly kept himself busy while we were gone.

LOL, I can just picture Corky, an unruly teenager, running around the house set to destroy everything to teach you a lesson. Hope nothing of great value was destroyed.
And you look so cute there with Elias. Way to go Aunt Rachel.

Aww...lookie at Auntie Rach and Elias. He does love you Rachel. :) And I am so glad you guys came. Too funny about Corky. He's like having a toddler around the house so at least you'll be well prepared for that phase! And dont worry I was terrified of new borns too and when you have yours that will change.

one thing you can always count on is corky "having fun" while your gone. I guess the trick is to be beack before the "fun" gets out of hand! Imagine if he had a friend there with him. Double trouble!

I know Nina!!!! SOmetimes I wonder if his girlfriend Lady (neighbor's dog) sneaks in while we are away! Corky does remind me of a defiant teenager Jacque---that's so funny! When we get home, he is all better and acts so innocent..even when he's sitting in whatever mess he happened to make. He relies on his cute-ness to win me over...and it works every time. Ash-I love love love your baby and am so glad I get to see you as often as I do!!!

Haha! That dog is too funny! And I'm so envious that you get to see Elias so much! I miss him already!
