New Puppy!

We got our puppy on Monday. The kids had been waiting for it for 8 weeks so they were SO glad to finally get him! We named him Pepper as his mother's name is Ginger (thought we'd keep it in the spice family). He's such a little joy to have around (Rachel, Kara, Tam - I'm serious about that - I can't believe he's so good!). He has not whimpered or whined for his mom at night. He's been responsive when we've disciplined him to not go into the house (a little flick on the nose). When he sees the kids heading for the door he just stops and watches them go in! Hope this lasts! :)

Josh and the boys made a doghouse for Pepper. 

Pepper's cute mug.

Spencer and his new friend.



Katrina was SO excited - squealing - when she saw Pepper.

Checking out the doghouse - it's a converted crate.  Still plan on a coat of paint.

Julia and Pepper.

All your pics are awesome Jos! Thanks for the updates. Katrina is just such a little knock-out. Pepper is definitely rivaling all of them on cuteness! =)

Super duper cute!!! Make sure when you come home that someone doesn't offer to "take care" of him for you! hehe
