Our New Addition

Okay, so it's been nearly 2 months since my last post. Yes, I am a slacker, but honestly it's not like a have a huge following, so I know you've all been surviving without me. : )

Our latest big news is that we're getting a puppy soon! He's 4 weeks now (in the pic) and we'll be getting him before Christmas. He's a miniature schnauzer and I can't wait to get him!



Mark has named him Tiberius Atellus Maximus. It means something that he thinks is cool. I don't care as long as we can just call him Max. : ) He is such a cutie! I'm nervous though. I've never had a pet of my own. I mean, growing up we always had pets but let's be honest...I never had to be responsible for them! I sure wasn't the one doing the housetraining, keeping them fed or taking them out at night. I just played with them when I felt like it...typical kid. : ) So I'm under no dillusions that my family will be different. I understand that Mark & I will be the responsible ones (read as...I will be the responsible one since Mark is at work most every day). And I'm okay with this. Mark's been wanting a dog forever and I've just now gotten to the point where I'm wanting one too. The girls are excited and carry pictures of the puppy around but I'm not sure if the little ones really understand that we're getting a puppy. I know Cassie does and she's ecstatic!

Hannah & Olivia just made 3 this week. Can you believe that?!



They had a Dora the Explorer party last weekend and it was lots of fun. The girls were so excited about their party. Now they think every party is for them. : )

Is it sad that I listed our puppy news ahead of my kids' birthdays? : )
