Ellie

This summer we decided to get Lela a playmate. We still hadn't quite made up our mind if we wanted another dog or not, when Joe found out there was an adorable little golden retriever puppy that had been at the pound for 2 weeks and they were ready to put it down. Joe just didn't have the heart to see her put down...so we decided to take her home! We named her Ellie because she so reminded us of the puppy on the Cottonelle commercial!! She has stolen our heart and she and Lela play all day long!

It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile since all of my immediate family were together for a holiday! But this Thanksgiving, we were finally all together for the holiday! We certainly had much to be thankful for! Judson had fun hanging out with his nephews - who are older than him! And all of us took turns loving on my neice Aleah!! We ate till we were full, visited, watched football and Brandi even broke out a deck of cards and patiently taught us a new game! It was a long day as we drove to Wichita and back the same day...but such a wonderful day! I hope the next holiday we all spend together isn't so far apart from this one! And, even though none of us wanted to get our picture taken and our clothes didn't coordinate...we did manage to get a photo of all of us together!
