...and an arrival of our own

Scott and I adopted our first dog, Deacon! We rescued him from a wonderful shelter, Saving Grace, and it was one of those things where I never expected to come home with him. He's part poodle and part bichon frise (I know what you're thinking), but he is super sweet and very spunky.

These past few weeks, he's been sick, so it's been a bit eye-opening to understand the money and care needed to go into a pet, but we think he's finally on the mend and his old personality is shining through!

We're excited to add little Deacon to our family! And yes, he's named Deacon because of the Demon Deacons. He may not be winning any NCAA championship titles, but he is one of the smartest breeds out there, so we think the name is entirely appropriate!

Congrats! They say a dog is the last step before a baby.

Craig and I got Cooper almost 2 years ago and no baby for us!

That'll teach "them" what to say about us!

He's too cute!

very cute little pup although if he was really smart you would have call him Duke or Devil (the latter would be pretty funny).

And don't be in a hurry on the kids. Our poor dog spends most of his days being tormented by Kai who's now 3 (7 yrs b/w dog and baby). That said, dog keeps going back for more...maybe we should have called my dog Deacon.
