Announcing

Meet Ava! We finally gave her an official name! We had tossed

names around the night we got her and Tyler came up with Ava

but Bernie, who didn't think she needed a name right away..,

couldn't come up with anything else, so for lack of any other

contenders, and it not being appropriate for the boys' to call her

what I do ( ha ha ) we decided Ava it would be!! Right now, she

doesn't really answer to anything so we'll see if Ava sticks or not.

The boys' are discovering that puppies are a lot of work and I'm

having flashbacks to when the boys' were babies and I couldn't

take a shower unless they were napping! Aaah! No wonder I'm a

cat person!

She is cute I'll give her that! Hopefully we'll all survive the 'puppy

stage'!!
