Another Adoption!

It’s true we have a brand new member to the family. He is nine months old, has the most beautiful blue eyes and really, really long legs, four of them! After much debate we have decided to name him Lewis. He’s been home a week and well it’s been a long one. I have forgotten how much work a puppy can be. The beach fence is no match for our little explorer and forget about trusting him while I run out! He has no idea what a command is and really doesn’t have much interest in learning them, but we already love him to pieces. Well all but Ben, for some reason Lewis doesn’t like Ben, he’s so scared of him that every time Ben is around Lewis is just about climbing me to hide from him! All in time.

In other news, Mariada is keeping us very busy with soccer; her team is doing well with only one loss. She loves her team and coach and is even thinking she can handle overnight soccer camp this summer! Speaking of overnights she was invited last Friday night to a slumber party and she had a blast! This weekend she will be attending the Ride and Rock event with a friend from school. So socially things are great! She really is doing great!

We are still very busy with Ben’s open house and just getting him ready for collage. We took a day last week to drive over to Ann Arbor and found him a two bedroom apartment, right across from where he has drill every morning at 6:30 AM. He will be living with a fellow ROTC friend. Oh to live in a very small collage apartment, yikes! But they are on the 18th floor and their apartment does overlook the “Big House” So GO BLUE!

Sara will be home in two weeks and we can’t wait! She won’t be home long, she has ski camp at the end of June, but we will take what we can get!

Things are going well and we are feeling pretty blessed.


Lewis is half Mountain Cur and half Border Collie, as soon as I can get him to sit still I'll post a better picture.
