Exciting new addition!

Our family has grown.  We have added a four legged family member to our midst.  After numerous discussions with a friend we finally brought home our 13 month old, female yellow lab last night.  We are so very excited and loving her!!!  She is still in the puppy stage, but very big.  So we are working on training her and the girls as well so that they can use forceful words to make her listen and teach her to stay down from jumping, and come when called.  So far, she is a really good dog.  Her name is Bella, and she fits her name.  She is beautiful!  So, we will be even busier keeping  up with things but I welcome the challenge.  I am on cloud nine with a new dog I have always wanted and a bit of snow in our forcast!!!!!  Things can't get any better!  :)

Picture overload!

I apologize for my lack of posting!  I have been a tad busy.  I have been volunteering a LOT at the girls school this year.  I am helping in my youngest Daughter's preschool class.  I used to work at a Montessori Preschool years ago before we had children and am really loving working with preschoolers again!  They are a lot of fun to be around!  I am finding the older the girls get, the busier life gets.  I thought it would get easier, and that is NOT the case!  We are still loving country life however and love being just a few miles out of town.  My Husband can't get enough of the great outdoors.  He is in paradise.  I will try to post pictures from last Summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  I just figured out how to download all of the pictures from my new phone.  Sorry for the overload!  Hope you enjoy looking at our cute kiddos as much as I do! 

Thanksgiving at my folks.  The girls were finally able to see their cousins!
