Weekend excitement

The weekend brought a new arrival–a new puppy. If you had asked me as little as three weeks ago if this was on our minds, I would have thought you were crazy. Yet here we are. Her name is Charlotte and we are smitten. Pictures will be coming soon. Of course the evil part of me wants to match puppy pictures post-for-post (and pose-for-pose) with the other new arrival on my husbands side. I saw the glint in my husband’s eye when I mentioned it. But we’ll just let that impulse fade away.

This little addition, of course, has brought chaos and destruction from day one. She’s a little stinker who likes to scurry off with shoes, socks, and anything else when no one is looking. Lacking any other options, she is a true ankle biter. But I can’t wait to get home and spend time with her. She romps and plays with her big brothers and we can hear her feet all over the house. She was a cuddlebug this morning, snuggling into the crook of my neck. I could hear her little puppy snorts in my ear. It was a wonderful start to the day.
