It's A Girl!

Ok. So you may or may not know that we lost our sweet basset hound, Scout, in August.  We'd had him 10 years and had been through so much with him, good and bad.  We missed him A LOT.  I had started obsessively scouting out the internet for dogs and finally must have bugged/ignored Bruce enough that he gave in and said he was ready for a new dog too.  I don't know why I wanted another one.  It was kind of like wanting another baby, but I must not have shopped online enough on that topic to get my husband on board...So anyway, I finally found a cutie pie online in Lawrence.  We went to visit her on a Sunday (with Scooter in tow) and were able to pick her up the following Wednesday after she was spayed.  She wasn't cheap even though she's a mutt, but giving money to organizations that help animals is no problem for me. 

Meet Lolly!

Finally~SNOW!!!

All bundled up!
 

 

 

 I don't know what age it is when you see snow and decide that you have to be out playing in it or inside drinking cocoa in a blanket.  That age has divided us for sure!  Cooper would have been outside until he was frozen solid.  He loved it and it was magical to watch him play.  There is nothing better than seeing your baby that happy.

Another Year Down

Ok.  I promise that I did really try to get some pictures on here since Christmas.  We have been busy doing a lot of stuff and Cooper is as cute as ever and every time I sat down to post, I could never get my pictures to load.  Frustrating city!  So, I'm going to attempt this feat again...

We had some of the family up for a little visit, since we didn't get to see them at Christmas.  This is Chance and he may be the best cousin in the world!  While the girls were trying to explain my camera to me, he was playing hide and seek with Coop, having shoot-outs and dressing up. 

This was our beautiful tree before I had to sadly take it down.
