11

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY  Zach

 11   . . . how did this happen?

This kid is a sweet one.
Kinda quite.

Very trustworthy

Sensitive

Good at school, behaves great at school though he does not love the homework, in fact he HATES homework and let's us know it.

He got his birthday wish SNOW . . . no school

Loves his Duke

 

We love you Zach!!

So blessed to be your momma, can't wait to see what the next 11 years brings.

So far

It is only 7:30 Am and I have already cleaned up

2 piles of poop

a pile of pee

and a torn apart book

She is driving me nuts today.

and to think last night we were thinking she was potty trained.  HA HA

Good thing God makes things so cute or else.

P.S.  We named her Phinney after our old neighborhood Phinney Ridge.  10 years of memories in that hood

Gung Hay Fat Choy

She's a Keeper

We could not have ordered a better pup.

She is about 12 weeks 25 pounds

Lovin the big ol' soft ears

Duke establishing the big brother roll - showin some teeth.  He would like us to think he is tough, we pretend we believe him

Puppy breath

Big paws thumping on the deck - I LOVE IT

Sweet thing -  though she is a bit of a thief.  I find random socks, shoes, undies in odd places.  Still makes me smile though ask me in a few weeks.

PUPPY!!!

Isn't she sweet. 

 I can't wait to get my hands on her.  Tomorrow 3 PM  Sharp. 

She needs a name.  The people at the Shelter call her Thelma.  I think it's kinda cute, but the kids, not so much.

Zach wants to name her Duchess  because her big yet not so big dog brother is Duke

Nathaniel is hoping for ToTo, Yes we watched Wizard of Oz last weekend

Naomi agrees with whoever she feels like at the moment.  Though she sounds awful cute saying Duchess.

Any name suggestions for our new puppy???  Love to hear ideas.

Shopping

Look what we bought today

Looking forward to a very special new family member coming home this Saturday

Guess what kind??? 

Yep!!!  The 4 legged, tail waggin, ball chasin, puppy breathin kind

It would be way to boring if I posted her entire pound puppy self . . . check back soon. 

I am My kids are so excited I they can barley stand it.

Looking Up

My girl is doing a bit better.

Still pondering our visit to Children's last week. 

No planned surgeries for several more years.

We are considering getting an obturator to help with speech.  The question is will it help with speech???  If anyone has experience with one PLEASE chime in.
