well, we finally took the plunge...we got a puppy! tanner is just over 2 years old which means it's time to have another kid, right??? here come the sleepless nights and lots of pee and poo!!
she's so dang cute!!
i'm sure she's wondering what kind of crazy nuthouse she's in.
emma loves smothering her to death with hugs and kisses!
needless to say, the kids wear her out.she is a 2 month old beagle and we named her roxie (emma and kaylee had 2 very long lists of boy names and girl names before we even told them we were getting a dog.) for the last several weeks we've been taking the kids to the shelter to walk the dogs. it's been really good for not only getting the kids used to taking care of a dog, but to also scope out the different dogs the shelter has and what kind would be a good fit. after being presented with a great dane (aaron politely asked to walk another dog) and a papillon (who almost got trampled by all of us), we decided a beagle would be the best fit for us (we took care of one for a short time while we lived in NY). so we looked for a while and then aaron found this cute little dog from a backwoods minnesota farm in the middle of nowhere and knew that she had to join us! she was a little skittish and we think her tail may be broken, but she is warming up to us and is now frolicking with the kids like she is one of them. so far she is exceeding all expectations with crate training and going outside to do her business. we hope she will be happy with us!!
bring on the chaos...

What was wrong with Aaron??? When we get a dog (much further in the future) a great dane is one of the top two choices. Of course, Brynn has to get over her absolute and total fear of dogs first. Sigh.
Congratulations on the newest addition.
OOh my gosh the puppy is cute!
