Affection

Do you ever walk into a room, see something adorable, and feel a new swell of love for people you already love darn well? I feel so lucky that this happens to me with great regularity. (I know. I am a huge sap. I can't help it. I'm guessing this trait will prove highly embarrassing to my daughters right around 7th or 8th grade, but whatever.) 

Five things I love very much, all wedged into one tiny little corner of our house:

Though it is hard to tell in these photos, Zephie actually seemed pretty psyched while Madelyn was sitting on top of her, thereby proving my brother's theory that, to a dog, any attention is good attention. After Maddie climbed off, she leaned over and kissed Zephie and said "Tanks, Zah-fee!" I thought that was quite considerate.
