'bout time for an update....

Okay... so maybe it's been a while. I'll try to include some events that have happened from after christmas up to now without blabbering on and on and on. You may have to scroll down a bit to catch it all. We have slower internet than we had before, so it takes FOREVER - literally - to download pictures. Sadly, I won't be posting as many as I want to.

February 4th was our 4th Anniversary. Due to the fact of celebrating with a cruise in Sept. '09 we decided not to do anything fancy... however Jake surprised me with THIS...

two days later, after I thought we had decided against having one until we lived in the country. Actually, I assumed we would never have one at all - anyone who knows Jake can understand that. We named her Naci, which happens to be the name of Jake's cousin. That sounds horrible doesn't it? Actually it has nothing to do with the person, although Jake LOVES her. We had a hard time coming up with a name, but when Jake mentioned NACI we both thought it was perfect. Don't worry, he asked permission first. Surprisingly, Jake likes our pooch quite a bit... most of the time, when she isn't digging or chewing. Andrew adores her. He loves to play with her. Grant seems indifferent right now. He likes her at a distance - she is just too big for him. I have found that it's hard for me to enjoy a dog like I did when I was younger, now that I have kids and other adult responsibilities of my own. However, I still love her and find that she fits our family well.
