A Lovely Monday

Gosh it's been a week already - so why did it seem so long and slow? Boys were back in school today. Hurray! Oops, did I say that out loud? You know I love them rascals silly but, um yea, I need some time alone . . . sabes?

Many things accomplished today: hike with Chaco . . .

Wait a minute . . . have I not properly introduced our newest family member - the most adorable, perfect puppy on the planet . . .

CHACO !!! 15 weeks and already 30 lbs!Look at that face - who does that remind you of? I know, right?I am one happy mama. This pup is so amazing! He followed me right along the trail today; right at my right heel without the leash. He sleeps on a blanket next to my bed all night. He does his thing outside no problem. We've got some work to do with the begging for food and listening in general, but really I feel like I can't complain. Isn't it great when you have a good gut feeling about something or someone and it turns out you're right? I love it when that happens.
