who let the dogs out

so.... we finally got a new puppy. how totally stoked, am i? YAHOO...

the kids are happy too, his name is Pete. he's chocolate... like jackson and kavi's eyes.

he's lovely - and smart and good... i'm so excited... and my camera is not working! and i can't take a picture and show you how cute he is. you'll have to take my word for it - plus he's a blast!!!!

after being chastised for lack of content... i would like to point out... that its not for lack of material, but lack of time... however, as this is the only current forum for personal meanderings... i shall meander...

today the kids asked why we knew we weren't going to have any more babies

they were bummed

we are still not bummed, that we made that decision...

but i thought it was curious that they were... and now maybe i am just a little bit... oh wait, i hear four people fighting and having a hard time being kind to one another... let me take care of that...

happy firecrackers and independence...

now it's time to get ready for the next adventure... Kamp, that's right Kamp with a "k"
they are totally stoked - so am i.

i have a new realization.... relationships are very important, i know it, i learned it, i think i work at it... but i'm determined to work harder... everywhere i turn i am hearing how important relationships are. it's what we're here for... very freeing, i think, because it gives me freedom to pour more in to people and see that as valuable - see... i get all scarttery, that's why i haven't meandered in awhile.
