We're expecting...

...a new addition to the family in June!

It's a boy and he'll have lots of brown hair! I'd announce his name, but we're not sure about that yet. Our long list ranges from Brown Brick to Zane...literally! We have narrowed it down a bit though.





We decided a few weeks ago to add a new chocolate lab to the family. I wasn't so sure I was ready. I still tear up when I think about Buxton. I miss him so much. I felt like I'd be replacing him & couldn't bare the thought of doing that. A friend of mine said, "You could never replace such a wonderful pet. Just look at it as a tribute to him. You loved him so much that you want that joy for your family again. He'll be an addition...never a replacement." Those words made me feel so much better about it & I do miss the joy an animal can bring into a family. On the flip side to that...I started worrying about the mess, the expense, the destruction, & the work!! In the end, I felt like joy & love out weighed those things. So...I said yes. Our little pup was born on Easter & we'll be bringing him home on June 10th. The girls are so excited! This will be their first experience with a puppy and we'll have the whole summer to train him :0).






Here are some pictures~

Here's the mama with her pups. Isn't she beautiful?







Here are the boys we'll have to choose from. Right now they are two weeks old & haven't opened their eyes yet. So sweet!
