DRAKE! After a total of 55 votes, Drake has 22 votes or 40%. Thanks to everyone who voted! Jason is happy that his favorite name won!
On Friday, the Girls, Ms. Debbie, Toby (Ms. Debbie's Dog from the previous litter ) went to visiti the puppies. In the 3rd picture, Toby stuck his head in and all the puppies rushed over to say hello to him. It was so cute! The owners said we can bring Drake home next weekend! We will keep you updated!

New Puppy






























As many of you know, Jason and the Girls have been trying to talk me into getting a dog for YEARS! I always had good excuses/reasons (little kids, not enough room, we lived in a townhouse ect). I am now officially out of excuses. I knew I would loose the battle eventually, I just didn't know when. As you know, my girls are obsessed with dogs. Their favorite game is still pretending to be different dogs they know.
The Surprise...... Jason and I decided that there are very few surprised left in this world, so we would do our best to make it a good one. We made all of the arrangements for Sunday after church. We packed clothes and lunches so we could leave just after church was over. It is about a 1.5 hr drive to VA to see the puppies. We told the girls that we were going to look at a house to buy. When we arrived, the girls were thrilled to see that the owners had a few grown dogs. Then Paula mentioned that they had puppies.....They went nuts! Then Jason said "Girls, do you think they would let us keep one?"
They just flipped out.....They were sooo excited. (I did capture this moment on video, but I have to figure out how to upload it to the blog...this may take some time...)
We had 3 boys to choose from. We ended up picking the Orange collared puppy. We will be able to bring home our new addition on April 3rd. We are very excited! We have not decided on a name as of yet, but we are working on a few. I will post a poll so you can help us decide!
We will keep you updated!

Snow Day

So much for Global Warming! On Sunday Evening (March 2nd), I received the dreaded call cancelling school on Monday due to a significant snow storm (for MD). After all the snow had fallen, we received about 10 inches. The kids had a great day off and enjoyed sledding in the back yard. Here is a picture of our winter wonderland back yard.
How many more weeks of Winter do we have???
