Max- our new puppy

We got a new little puppy on New Year's Day. His name in Max and he is the funniest little thing. He is very motivated by food, and I think it shows because he gained a pound and a half in 2 weeks between his vet visits and is up to a whopping 6 pounds now!! We will have to be sure to switch over to some "light" treats pretty soon! He snores just like all pugs do and his personality is showing more and more each day. He loves to nap in your lap- he likes Quintin's and Abby's the best! Adri loves to give him his treats and even calls him her little brother!!

Quintin goes to Washington

We are so very proud of Quintin!! He was invited to have breakfast with some members of Congress this past week to discuss the importance of Head Start. He was selected because they were looking for former students of Head Start to kind of show "Where are they now?" He is doing so much to support the community through The Children's Center and Early Head Start here in our area, and he truly has a passion for helping families. We were also very thankful that he made it back home and beat the snowstorm that hit there again Wednesday afternoon.

Even better than cake

Quintin and the girls surprised me with this beautiful edible bouquet for my birthday. It was delicious!!!

Adrianna is 3!!

Our little princess turned 3 today!! She had a great day- had some fun at Chuck E. Cheese's, shared yummy cupcakes with her friends at school, and then had her own beautiful Princess Tiana cake when she got home. Even though she was starting to get sick with a winter cold, she was all smiles!

The Big Snowstorm!!

We couldn't believe how much snow we got today- it ended up being about 12 inches! We had to wait a little while for the wind to die down before we could go out and play in it, but once we did we all had a blast!! We made snow angels, snowballs, snow forts and tried to make our snow family but it was so soft and powdery that we had a hard time. Abby went sledding and had the hills all to herself!! We can't wait for the next big snowfall!!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas!! I couldn't get the slideshow website to work for me, so I loaded all the pics on here. Merry Christmas everyone!!
