New Addition to our family. Jan 2010

We added a new member to our family. We found Maisie on the side of a busy road by our house on a very cold day. We tried to find her owners, but couldn't. She has had a rough life, and has a nasty scar on her head to prove it.

She was very nervous and scared when we first got her, but she is getting used to living inside and playing with toys and other dogs.

Maisie fits right in with my other two dogs, Rosie and Joey.

Sometimes Maisie helps Mom with the laundry.

She likes to "read" magazines when we aren't home.

I am so glad that we decided to keep her.

Christmas Break 2009

We spent Christmas at our lake house this year.

Ashley and I drove around in the golf cart every day. We have a lot of fun together.

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas." Santa knows that I LOVE hippos! He brought these two to add to my collection.

Santa also brought me this rockin' drum set! It's awesome! I already sound good!

Mom and I drove to Grammy's house after Christmas to see all my cousins and aunties and uncles. We had our second annual game night. That was fun!

We also got to have a "Cousins Christmas" and got to give and receive our presents to each other. It was fun to see everyone open their presents that I helped pick out.

One of the best parts was seeing the new babies! I got to meet my baby boy cousin, Mac! He loves being held by all of us. My cousin Laura is very good at taking care of him.

Getting a snuggle with Elise. What a sweetie!

I love hanging out with my cousins! What an awesome Christmas break!
