Sorry Kristen...but the puppy's name is...

CALI! Tigran got to choose the name and I think Cali fits her mighty well. I wanted Lily but I have soon realized that she bites way too much to be a sweet Lily.

We are working on her manners but they are slow to come. She can sit, lay, and shake though. Hopefully she will start in puppy kindergarten classes next week at OSU.

She's pretty good about going outside to use the bathroom but occassionally she has a slip up...she loves to pee in my dining room for some reason. I will post more pictures soon b/c unlike the first picture, her ears actually stand straight up!

Our New Baby

Tigran and I are headed to KY this weekend to pick up our new puppy. I found her on petfinder.com which searches shelters across the U.S. She is 12-14 weeks old possibly (the shelter doesn't know for sure) and has some purple on her tongue. (She most likely is a lab/chow mix just like my parents' two dogs).

We haven't thought of a name yet....

Our First Nephew

Annie and Danny's first child was born on May 12th at 11:19 a.m. She was in labor for about 9 hours total and he is 7 lbs. 8 oz. and is 20 1/2" long. His name is Mason Van Ross Wade.

Take a look!







I didn't hold him yet because I have a stinky cold...Uncle Tigran got to hold him though :) He has a great set of lungs (proof is in the last picture).
