Our New House and Our New Dog!

This picture was obviously taken in the fall. We haven't seen green grass since winter began. The kids love to explore the back woods where there is a great sledding hill and trails to hike.


Introducing KJ! Many of you know we had to find Opal a new home just prior to our move because she did not do well with small children. That was heartbreaking. We were not planning on getting a new puppy for a while because of all of the traveling to and from Massachusetts that we will be doing this winter and spring. However, a few weeks ago we were driving to Albany to bring Haven to Build A Bear on her birthday. My parents were following us in their car, and we got lost. Eventually, Tom pulled into a big empty parking lot and we decided to say goodbye to our parents and make our way back to the mall. While there, a car pulled up beside us and the driver rolled down her window. I jokingly asked her if she was lost too. She said, "no, I'm with Labs 4 Rescue". Peeking through the back window was a little black lab that looked a lot like Opal. He was on his way to a foster home and is now cuddling on the couch with the kids. He is 5 years old, playful, gentle, obedient, adorable, and ours! What a blessing we've received.
