Welcome Sophie!



Yes, call us crazy, or better yet, suckers for cute labs! We welcomed Sophie "Too" to our home on December 10, after she immediately needed a new home, and some friends of ours hooked us up. She is a pistol, to say the least, but Coda is doing quite well with his new sis. I was worried at first, because the first two days Coda didn't want anything to do with her and was soooo skittish (quite comical, really), and all she wanted to do was bite his ears and wrestle. Now, all is well and they are two peas in a pod. They wrestle, sleep, wrestle, sleep, and on and on. It's been good for Coda, and to be honest, we wanted to get another lab in the near future anyways. Timing was a bit off, but just like kids, who's ever really "ready" for another? :)

The story behind her middle name "Too" - we have some friends whom have a black lab, named Sophie Lou. When we were deciding on a name for the new pup, I thought of Sophie, not remembering that these friends of ours (who had actually hooked us up with getting Sophie) named their dog that. We still like the name, so naturally she is Sophie "Too", not to be confused with Sophie Lou. :)

Look Who's 8!!

Our little boy turned eight today! After the traditional candle in his breakfast waffles, Connor enjoyed his day at school complete w/Black Diamond Bakery donuts for his classmates and Mr. B.
That night we went bowling at Acme bowl with a few of his friends and had his very first overnighter. The theme of the evening was all BOY - complete w/mcd's, pizza, cake, video games, and of course, noises from every bodily orfice. What fun! The boys finally retired at 2:30 am, much to Dad & Mom's excitement. :)
Oh, to be 8 again!
