We are ExPeCtInG!!!!!! :)

I bet I had you going for a second huh!! Ha Ha!!! Nope not yet!! :)

This is our sweet 6 week old Boxer puppy!!! The kids named her Missy! She is so stinkin cute!! I had no idea how much work and sleepless nights go into to puppies!! We got her yesterday. Carson and Ellie were so happy. They new we were going to get a puppy but they didn't know when. I met the lady to pick her up and surprised the kids! I don't think they really understood that she was ours for good because on the way home Carson asked if she had to go back later. They are so excited to have her. As you can see by these pictures they won't leave her alone. I have to really watch Ellie because she will lay her whole body right on top of her and I am afraid she is going to smother her! Ellie lays on the dog bed by Missy and pull her cheeks, pokes her nose, pulls her head, I think she has inspected everything on her. Carson loves to just hold her on his lap. He could hold her for hours. For those of you that know me, I like dogs but I am NOT and inside dog person. (even though secretly I would love a little tiny black and brown Yorkie with floppy ears!! Todd said it will never happen and if I want my family to ever visit again I can't!! Even though I doubt my sister will ever come to my house even now that we have Missy~she is allergic and I think she is afraid she will have a reaction even though promised she won't be all over my house!!) She is not allowed anywhere in my house except the kitchen where the tile is! My sister-in law's brother gave me some advice on how to train her and he told me I should let her sleep in my bed for a few weeks because she us still so new! Ha Ha!! Not a chance! I did break down last night and slept on my floor and let her sleep by me, I know yuck but she is still so tiny and new and she is so sweet. She never touched the carpet though and I can wash all the blankets!! My struggle is going to be getting her to only go to the bathroom in a certain spot so my kids aren't stepping in poop! I have a long month or two a head of me! If anyone has any advice let me know!! If you ever want to come see her, come on by! The more people the better!! ~ MISSY ~
They won't leave her alone. I have to lock her in my bathroom with me when I shower because I am afraid Ellie will hurt her because she loves on her too hard!

Carson and Ellie have wanted a dog for so long. Everyday they would beg me to take them to all of our neighbors that have dogs so they could see them. I am so happy I don't have to bug them anymore. They were always so nice and let us come see them anytime!! Thank you!! I think every kid needs to grow up with a dog!!
