Relax

Dane and I ended our winter break with two unexpected snow days due to the extremely cold weather.  There we were, lounging on the couch and binging on the show The West Wing.  Bella, our little Boston Terrier, was curled up between us, burrowed under the blanket.  We were the purest definition of "relax."  It was absolutely wonderful.  

Eventually, Dane had to get up. When he turned around he froze and started motioning for me to get up and look at Bella. With the stealthiest, ninja-like moves I could muster, I quietly slipped off the couch and there was our sweet little dog wrapped up like E.T. with her little nose poking out.  

I started a drawing of this photo, but felt that I would need to spend way more than a week on it to do it justice. I might revisit this post in the future, but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy these small, relaxing moments with my family.
