Our New Doggie

We finally got a dog. His name is Miles. He's a five year old Basset Hound and he's just the sweetest guy. We got him from his previous owner because they had moved to an apartment and had no yard for him to run in. He's a little bigger than we were supposed to get, but he seemed to fall in love with us the second he saw us. The feeling is mutual. :)

He's adapted to our family very quickly and the only one's who seem unhappy with him are our poor kitties. They'll get used to him. ;)

Kiddos

I'm at the kitchen table, listening to American Gladiators and the squeak of my rocking chair as David rocks little Oliver, allowing me a much coveted, though not completely, childless moment.
I love David.
Rain is falling heavily outside, and if I try hard, I imagine I can hear it over the tv.

Then, as suddenly as the peace came, it is gone. All three kids are screaming. It was nice while it lasted.

Let's try this again ;0)

A lot has happened in the past year and three months.

New kid before.

New kid after.

This is Oliver James.

Still trying to figure out how the picture stuff works.
