Raimey and Lola

Raimey and Lola have had some time to warm up to each other...

 

Lola is a pretty bossy girl, and Raimey took awhile to learn how to handle her.

 

 

I am sure it will be a work-in-progress,

 

since eventually Lola will outweigh Raimey.

 

But, I think Raimey is starting to get the hang of it.

 

 

 

I have a new respect for photographers...

 

seriously, kids and animals....how do they do it?

 

 

Perhaps a sleeping puppy is the best way. :)

 

 

Baseball

 

Baseball season is in full swing...

 and tonight, one of my handsome boys was catching.

 And the other one was stealing. :)

 

 

Meanwhile, this one was modeling. 

(her waist just won't hold those shorts up!)

  Such a fun day,

 

  and so enjoying the sun!

* Our 15th Anniversary *

I love my hubby deeply.

 

Life gets busy and we forget to make time for us.

 

But, anniversaries are a time to celebrate and reflect...

 

and sometimes even splurge.

 

So, for our 15 year anniversary ~ it was time for a surprise.

 

 

Andy has wanted an English Bulldog for as long as I've known him.

 

So, I've kept this ginormous secret for seven weeks!

 

And it was so worth it!

 

He loves our newest addition...

 

and finally gave her an official name, other than "puppy".

 

Lola it is.

 

Lola and Minnie haven't quite hit it off yet,

 

but I think in time, they'll be friends.

 

And, of course, the kids adore Lola, too!
