WINTER

Just posting a few more pics.  These winter days make me miss having you all around just to hang out with in our pjs, drinking cups of coffee, laughing lots.  I'm still looking into plane tickets for April.  Mom, what is your schedule like the week of April 14th-22nd?  I'm thinking of bringing the girls.  Tickets are $168 but they are all overnight trips which might be okay.  It would be good to be home again.  Well, I need to go start my day.

Heather

here are some pictures for you heather. i think maddie might be in need of a trim.

Welcome Gracie

I'd like to introduce the new member of our family.  Gracie's a very sweet and gentle girl who we got from the humane society this past Friday. Emma fell in love with her the minute we took her out of  the kennel to walk around.  We looked at two other yellow labs while we were there, but Emma didn't want to have anything to do with them.  She just kept saying, "I like Gracie.  Let's go get Gracie."  I have to admit that Emma knows how to pick out a dog.  She's awesome with the girls.  We couldn't have found a better dog for our family.  

monkey business
