the puppy adventure

this morning we packed up the boys with a surprise destination in mind ...
we didn't tell them why, just told them we were going for a drive ...
after about 3 hours drew finally started to question what we were doing ...
his words exactly ... something like 'i don't know why we are driving this far ... but it better be good.' HA!

thankfully it was only minutes later that we pulled into the place we were meeting our puppy.
the lady put the 2 puppies that we were taking into our car -
(my mom took the sister to our puppy, the black one, so we were picking her up too)
and THEN the boys started to figure it all out :)



NOW ... our boys ride for 3 hours quite often -
HOWEVER ...
i'm pretty sure this was the longest 3 hour drive EVER for them.
it's hard to stay buckled and let your new puppy rest!! :)
-----------------------------
before getting home we stopped at a park to hand off my mom's puppy
it was our first chance to see them really run and play
what a riot!
they are SO little - but packed with these short bursts of energy.
we played for a while ...



and then it was time for the puppies to say goodbye
which was sad :(
the boys still randomly ask our puppy if he is missing his sister :(

after 8 hours in the car ...
our kids were running out of things to do ...



and we were ready to get on with life as our new family of 6 :)

welcome to our house little chewbacca - a.k.a. chewy ;)

We already love our new little princess and are so glad to finally get her-but better yet is seeing the look on Ben's face to finally be getting something he has wanted for such a long time-the first pictures of him with Chewy just give me tears in my eyes-A huge hug to you and Stacey for finally "breaking down"!!!! And thanks again for doing so much driving to get our new little family members!!Love you!!! Mom
