The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I like this meme because it gives me an opportunity to take a look back at last week and forward to next week in both my personal life and my blog and book life! I also like to see what other people are doing and what books everyone is reading. This is a great meme to take part in every week and I thank Kimba for hosting it!
Last Week
Home & blog
Lots of puppy time this week. We took her to the Vet this week to have her checked out and make sure she’s healthy. She is 🙂
She’s 9 weeks old now and she sits quite reliably (before eating, before going into another room, going up or down stairs). She loves to play with her toys, but she especially liked a gallon size plastic milk carton! We have some steep stairs to go down to get outside and she hasn’t gone down those yet. We’ve had to carry her and both my daughter and I had sore backs by the end of the week (she weighs about 17+ pounds already!) The next step is for her to learn to go down those stairs so we don’t have to carry her as often!
I’ve spent a lot of time reading and listening to books this week. I didn’t get as much blogging done as planned. I was too busy playing with Bailey to concentrate on writing posts!

More puppy stuff this next week! We’re going to eastern Iowa this week to visit my father-in-law. My husband and older daughter will be there, too. We’ve been taking Bailey for rides in the car so she gets used to riding in the car.
