A picture is worth a thousand words

I love this picture of my mom and dad.  They were married 56 years.  Kevin and I feel extremely blessed to have grown up with moms and dads who truly loved each other and their children.  We had the most happy of childhoods!

                                 This is such a tender photo.    Young love - lovely sweetness!

Introducing our newest family member

Sophia and I have spent the better part of last week combing through Petfinder.com in search of our newest family member . . .

 

 

 

We drove to Robinson, Illinois yesterday to a tiny little county animal shelter run by sweet, sweet people.

 

 

 

This is who we came home with last night!

 

 

 

She is a love.

 

 

Our new furever family

 

 

Look at that face!
