Meet Mercy??

Since Butler passed, I've been missing the indoor pet companion. Even though I like Cooper, he's not an indoor dog. I'm allergic to him. I've watched the pound's listings for a few months now and saw a posting for a Lhasa Apso about 2 weeks back. I went and visited him and rubbed him all over my skin - and no allergic reaction! I brought him home on Wednesday. He's 6-8 years old, a big love, fairly quiet, and likes to eat kleenex. Which is fine. Lots of kleenex in this house!! hahah! I think I'll name him Mercy. So when he gets into trouble and I say "Oh Mercy!" I don't have to keep on going with the dog scolding. hehe. Sarah loves him, Andy agrees he's a great dog, and even Cooper has managed to make friends!

Here is Cooper posing because he didn't want to be left out of Picture Time.


Both dogs together. They really are "mutt and jeff"!! They haven't snuggled up together yet, but maybe?



And here he is - our Christmas Dog - Mercy. Ain't he cute! The nice thing about being the mom is I can bring him home. Cuz I'm the MOM. And I SAY SO! :D




He has wonderfully trained begging eyes but he doesn't whine or paw at ya, so that's good. He does follow us around the house so closely that his wet nose hits the back of your legs, though!



More snow!

The volume of squeals in our home this morning was nearly deafening!!!
Pictures from this morning. The new dog doesn't mind the snow at all!






Pictures from tonight - Andy, Sarah, and Cooper walked to the grade school and sledded down the hill. Well, Sarah rode the disc and Cooper pulled her.



Snow Day!!!

Here's a video Andy took in our back yard this morning - we got more snow all day. Pretty impressive for 45* lattitude at sea level!

Hi Dad! Hi Mom!!

I know you guys peek in here on occasion to see what's going on in your favorite daughters life and get a look at the most beautiful granddaughter in the world!
I just wanted to say HI! If you click on any of the pictures, it will get bigger for you. Then you can just "back" arrow to get back to the blog. Just in case you didn't know. Don't go on and on about how when you were a kid, calculators were your fingers and a personal computer was using your fingers AND toes!! :P Can you even imagine what things will be like when I'm the grandparent and Sarah is trying to show me these things??

More Layouts













Cindia took this picture of Amelie on the beach in Tolovana (or, at least I think it's Cindia's picture) and I just loved the composition. Such a perfect photo, I had to use it BIG. :D















Andy and I get a kick out of this layout. Not because it's the best layout EVER, but because we've experienced Sarah's giggles and just the mention of it makes us want to giggle too!!


























Stoooopid People




When we took Conny & Helga to the airport, we were greeted by this incredibly stoopid human being. I just had to take a picture. :P
I don't need to say anything more, do I???
