Meet Kasey!!

Kasey is the latest addition to our family!


She is a Chow/Border Collie mix that we rescued through the SPCA. They believe she is about a year old. Kasey has a wonderful temperament, very calm and laid back. She craves affection and is willing to be loved by anyone. Hard to believe someone abandoned her. The girls have been waiting for this moment for years. In fact, Kate says she has asked for a dog since she was 2...6 years later, her wish came true! The girls love to take her for walks and give endless hugs and kisses.

We are so grateful and blessed to have her! Thanks to Biz (Mom-Mom) for telling us about her and to Ryan for the beautiful picture.

I'm sure you'll be seeing quite a bit of her in future posts!

And just like that...

...both of our girls are off to school!

The girls started back for another school year on Monday. Lauren has staggered entry this week for Kindergarten, so she only went on Monday. Her entire class will come together this coming Monday for the first time...22 total. We were very excited that Lauren has the same Kindergarten teacher as Kate. She has been teaching for many years and is a fabulous teacher!

Kate has enjoyed her first week and loves her teacher! Her teacher student-taught in 5th grade last year at our school and is now teaching 3rd grade for the 1st time. So far so good! Plus we've heard only excellent things about her.


Here's to another great year!
