Restarting

It's been such a long time since I've posted to this blog, and so much has happened. We had to say goodbye to Patches in the middle of the summer last year(one day after our anniversary to be exact). We also had previously added two guinea pigs to our little group. They were Humane Society adoptions: a long haired girl named Dakota, and another American shorthair named Speedy. Speedy passed earlier this year :(, so now we are down to 3 piggies aaaandd..... a puppy!

Yes, we dove in and adopted a puppy at the Humane Society on New Year's Eve last year. His name is Joey and he's a black Lab mix with some white patches on him. He's now almost a year old and we've been taking ng him through obedience classes to help us all learn together. He's much bigger than we initially intended our dog to be, but he's learning as he grows and has been such a wonderful influence for Aidan, who has gone from being afraid of all dogs to being confident around them.

The kids are growing and learning so much as they continue e school. Caleigh is now in grade 5, Aidan is in grade 3 and Brynna is an SK!  Both Caleigh and Aidan are in Cubs and Brynna has started Beavers.

I'm going to try to keep up with this blog better than I have in the cast, but make no promises that I won't forget from time to time.
