Never been thankful like this...

I've been thankful for many things in my life--my family, my education, my husband, my job, my house, my pups, etc. But I've never been as thankful as I am this year. How could I not be, with a face like this?

Her first ponytail:

We started with a bow, but it flopped over when we laid down...

It has been a year full of ups and downs, but now more than ever we have to remember all the things we have to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Puppy Love

I remember when we were first pregnant with Heidi that Josh and I were worried about how our other canine babies would react to their new little sister. That first day when we brought her home from the hospital and placed her carrier on the ground for them to get a sniff, we knew our worries were all for nothing. It was love at first sight for our big brown girls and our little baby girl.

Do you think it's possible to get Heidi and Molly to smile at the camera at the same time?

Well, that's a little better.

Sometimes they just like to lay around together...

And sometimes Molly likes to help Heidi with her self-care, she's excellent at cleaning ears.

Her better tomorrow...

is on its way! Thank you Americans for electing Barack Obama. America can once again be a place that is respected around the world. Halleluiah for a fresh face in the white house that doesn't pander to the big corporations and oil companies. A true spokesperson for the middle class. Having a daughter makes many things more important to me, and the future of this country is one of them. So thank you Americans! Yes we can!

This election was a nail-biter

Vote for Obama!

You know you want to!

You voted for Obama, right?

Thanks for voting for my better tomorrow

A better country for my daughter, I could not ask for more.
