Warm Wishes

Sorry, we have no pictures to post today. We just wanted to take the opportunity to tell our OLD Auntie E and Uncle Bucky HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY! The sad thing is that they are Mom's younger brother and sister. We think they are old, so that makes Mom really old. We hope you each have a great birthday and we will see you soon!
Also, we would like to tell our 17 year old cousin Matt that we hope he gets better quick. Matt had to have emergency surgery late last night in Chicago for a bacterial infection. He had an infection that settled into his hip which had to be cleaned up. The surgery lasted longer than it was supposed to because they had to go into the sack around his hip and clean it out as well. He will be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and will have to work with a pain management doctor. We hope he is okay and makes a speedy recovery.
Check back late Wednesday night for some new pictures (which cannot be released until we get the okay from someone...we'll explain when we post them)!

Introducing...

Our new puppy, Kurt Cobark (yes, he is a tribute to a certain deceased singer). We got our puppy last Wednesday and he is so CUTE! Sorry our pictures aren't that great, but he likes to wiggle around a lot.

Kurt is a Miniature Schnauzer. We had to give him a German name and Jake came up with Kurt Cobark. Mom says it's kind of funny and appropriate because Honey and Daddy Earl had a Schnauzer when she was little named Kurt.

This dog is so spoiled! Did we tell you he has his own jacket and snow boots? He also has a ton of toys and treats. Mom and Dad even let him sleep in their bed at night. He's such a good boy.

He is just a little lap dog who loves to sit with us and have us scratch his belly. Dad is taking him to the vet this morning, so we will be able to tell you how much he weighs and everything later. Kurt can't wait to meet everyone!

First Snow of the Year

We are getting our first real snow as I type. We had a light dusting of snow Sunday morning when we woke up, but it was all gone by 10:00. These pictures are views from Mom's windows at school. Do you think her kids are getting much done today? Not only are they back from break, but they have snow to distract them as well.

It is pretty. To our loyal readers, be sure to check back tomorrow for information on our early Christmas present. Mom and Dad gave us our present early. We got it last Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). Check back to see pictures and hear all about it!
