Introducing Gunner

We got a puppy!  Gunner is an adorable black lab field dog, and he is 9 weeks old.  He is super smart and such a cutie, we are in love!  We've had him a week and a half, and he's already doing great with potty training, can sit, lay down, and come.  Derek is looking forward to having him as his hunting buddy next season and the girls are loving him.  Paige is still deciding what she thinks.... :)

Madeline's 4th Birthday

Our Maddie girl is 4 years old!  Can you believe it?!  On her birthday we had a quiet day complete with spaghetti for dinner, per the request of the birthday girl.  The following Saturday she had a gymnastics birthday party with her friends.  It was a really fun week!

We will miss you Bubba Boy

Two weeks ago we made the heart wrenching decision to put our beloved Ulrich (Bubba) down.  It was not an easy decision to come to.  Bubba was our best friend, and such a great dog to our family.  We will miss him dearly.
