Our new bundle of joy

This is our new 10 week old puppy. She is a Labrador/German Shepherd mix. We haven't named her yet. Ashley is rooting for CoCo. Or is it Cocoa? Bri and Chelsea don't like that. I think we will have to take a family vote tonight. Grace is so excited that she can barely contain herself. She cries when the puppy plays with the boys because she thinks that means the puppy doesn't like her.

Any name suggestions?

Victory Rolls for Grace

Yesterday, I watched a YouTube video that showed how to do a vintage hair style. Today, I tried it on my 3 year old. Doing a hairstyle on a three year old isn't exactly a smart thing to do. They don't sit still very well! But it turned out okay. I'm not too happy with the faux bang thing. But she's cute anyway! And, actually, getting her to stand still for a picture was way harder than for the hairstyle. These were the best I could get while she was dancing around.



Please ignore the peach yogurt that she spilled all over the front of her dress.






For some reason, Grace feels the need to purse her lips when someone takes her picture. I guess, it's her "model pose".



This is my favorite picture. I think she's trying to see if any of the baby praying mantis that we released here last week decided to stay around.
