Toby sleeping?

Plus one

Soooo - some of you know this, but our family grew by one, without me even really knowing about it.

Daniel brought home another puppy who needed a home. After a few weeks of trying to find her a new home, we've decided to keep her. So yes, we have four dogs, one cat and too many chickies.

This is Tessa and Tula- all snuggled up!

They spend a lot of time together

I love when she does this - she puts her little head on the chair and makes really funny noises!

She's a sweetie, super smart and we are happy to give her a loving home.

The Number One Super Mom!

My mom just celebrated her birthday
and I thought I'd like to post a little about her.

Basically, I think my mom is really the best. She's always been an example of love and kindness in my life. Her countless acts of service are inspiring. And she raised, I think, EIGHT wonderful children - along with several other foster children! For anyone who knows her - they'll agree that she is one amazing woman!

(I thought this one was so great -
It looks like she's being sneaky or something!)

Love you tons mom!
