Narcism

Nar·cis·sism - inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
Synonyms: self-centeredness, smugness, egocentrism.


I'll admit it, we love us.  Plus we needed to hang some stuff on the walls and thought to ourselves...why not our own mugs?!













Ta-Da!

Newness

This is my new friend Luke.  I love him.


100% wrinkles


Eventually both ears will stand up

French bulldogs are the coolest

Grace is really starting to like him.....

Mostly because she's finally bigger than someone!
