Family Pictures

Yay! Yay! Yay! It literally took me a year to get my family pictures scheduled--

I scheduled with a photographer in the spring and whatever could go wrong went wrong after two reschedules the last one because Ellie got Roseola she gave up on me and I never heard back :( 

Dave was pushing the idea of using a tripod {ugh- they never seem to turn out very good} and I was looking for another photographer to possibly do trades with {I take her family- she takes mine} Found one and the timing was not working out :( So than I scheduled with another photographer who seemed eager and I hoped would do a good job! And than guess what happens- I get contacted by the other photographer willing to trade pics and this time it's gonna work- So I had to get back to other photographer and cancel {felt very bad about that} So now you understand the Yay! We finally took some Family's Pics! what a hassle!

We had the wonderful Andy with {andykayphotography}take our pictures!

I really wanted some of Me and Dave considering we only really have a very small few of us together- and what can I say I love the man :)

 
I'm excited to hang some of these in our bedroom when our house is finally finished.
I was also very glad for a nice picture for our Christmas Card this year

Babysitting Puppies

Remember this little cute puppy back at Easter that was so so cute with Ellie- but sadly was already sold--

Well the second batch of Puppies was born- and Dave is still very much wanting to have a Boxer.

Over Thanksgiving we we're able to tend them for a week and get to know them a bit while John and Mandi were visiting their parents.

They were just barely starting on the Dog food and it was very fun to get to see them learn-- now they are a bunch of oinkers whenever there's food around :) 

{also ignore the really bad pics- they're living in the garage with a heat lamp not good lighting at all}

They are so cute! I've actually really missed feeding them and getting to see them each day.

But in a couple of weeks or so we'll be bringing one of our own home 

{I'm actually still torn on this decision, Dave's set- but bringing a puppy home is a lot like bringing a new baby home they have to be really watched and taught and I'm just a tad bit busy lately-- ugh-- but when we go see them then I really want one too- I'm sure it will happen- Dave always wins :) }

So the decision is between these two 

{there was a third which was my very favorite but it died :( and I still get a bit emotional over talking about it- While we were feeding it, it choked and nothing we did -and we did all that we knew to-- would help it-- It was very very sad and heartbreaking}

But these two are very adorable and have very cute personalities to match

 {I personally like the white a bit- I think she's very cute}

{Dave likes the full fawn color}

Which one would you pick?
