TINK

I love animals-and especially dogs! I've wanted a new dog for quite awhile and things just kinda fell into place and we found ourselves with a new puppy. We tossed around names but in the end Ellee's choice of names stuck, Tink. It seems to fit her personality. She is just a little fluff ball. She is a havachon (a havanese, bichon frise mix). Damon and I have always had big-very big-dogs and this is our first attempt with a little one. We'll see how it goes. She is seven weeks old and has stolen everyone's hearts around here. We've had to remind Cole a few times not to maul her. He wants to carry her everywhere and he really is her favorite. She loves him just as much as he loves her. It has been fun to watch Ellee and Luke go from screaming and running away to cuddling her and rubbing her belly. We'll have to see how this all plays out. Yay!

St. Patty's Day

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day. Cole had so much fun at school and seeing everyone wearing green. He thought it was so silly. The real highlight for him turned out to be our St. Patrick's Day dinner. I got all the kids together in the kitchen and we made green pancakes, green eggs, green applesauce, and green milk. It was so funny. Luke was in heaven-since his favorite color is green. Cole still asks for green applesauce each time we have applesauce.
Ellee was a little freaked out at first. She didn't know what to think. She said "ewwwww", in which Cole responded by telling her that he's had green eggs and ham at school and that the food still tastes the same-"It's just green!" It was lots of fun-and they all ate their whole dinner!
