Thank you Bill Simmons!

This is our... um... little puppy Palin. After ONE week! She already weighs 17.5 pounds! We're getting a little nervous.

Palin has been up to quite a bit since she's been here. She's learned how to go up and down the stairs. She's pretty proud of herself, as you can see.

She tries to eat everything. We're getting use to pulling things out of her mouth (rocks, leaves, goose poop, etc.). I guess it's pretty good training for a human baby.

Luke is pulling a post-it note out of her mouth.

Luke finished school last week! Only two semesters left! Since he has so much free time these days, he picked up a book at the library for some light reading.

700 pages of basketball bliss. Thank you Bill Simmons!

Summer break (the last one we'll ever have), a puppy, and a book all about basketball... life is great!

And Puppy Makes Three!

This is our new puppy, Palin.

Palin is her name, yes, Palin. Like Sarah. But, don't read into it too much. Our dog isn't a political statement. We just like the name.

Palin is an old english sheepdog, so one day (in the not so distant future) she will probably look like this....

She is a sweet, playful, fun puppy! We already love having her around. I'm sure Palin will be on the blog a lot! Prepare yourself for puppy pictures and stories!
