Wicket, 6 weeks

We found out today that we can bring Wicket home anytime after February 19th. We were expecting the last week in Feb. or the first week in March- so we are soooo excited. Here a the 6 week picture;) Oh, and he weighed two lbs today.

Introducing...Wicket Shumway.oO(

It wasn't easy, but we made out final decision. We are so excited... 4.5 more weeks!

He's a fighter...

In an unexpected turn of events, Brown Wicket has taken the lead! With only one day left until the boys see their fifth week, and we meet our deadline for picking, Brown Wicket has turned the hearts of blog readers everywhere (OK- not really everywhere, Seven voters? Seriously people...) as he made an amazing come back and now leads the poles by one voter!
With only 15 short hours left until the decision must be made, which of the two puppies has the face of Wicket Shumway? Only you can choose...Vote Now!

*Deadline emphasize only for dramatic effect, we probably have until Friday when we get our next set of pictures.

a camera;)

So we got a camera... it's pretty great. When Doug and I weren't quite sure what to do about our camera decision we turned to none other than, Tyan, the great photographer. She's so amazing, I decided I'd try and see if the camera gives me the incredible talent she has.

Doug took some photography classes in college- and I think he even TA'd one... so he's catching on a lot quicker than I am...


Pictures soon to come...get excited.

Wicket, 4 Weeks

We got the four week pictures today, we are so excited we can't wait. We have to pick which on we want next week, when he's five weeks old... so HELP us decide- vote in our poll.


Brown Wicket weighed 1 lb. 7 oz today; Black Wicket weighted 1 lb. 6 oz.




Tiff thinks that the little black puppy would make a better Wicket- you should vote.

We're having a baby!!

Baby Puppy, of Course!

These two cute little pups are the two we are choosing from for our first child. We aren't so ambition to try a human first- Here are the boys at three weeks:

Heres one of them at two weeks:
Here they are with their sisters at just one week old.

We are going to choose one of these two little guys to be ours in two weeks... I have pictures of the parents too- but first, what do you think? Brown and black, or black and white? Either way we have named him Wicket... after the Ewok, because that is kinda what he will look like when he's older.

Check out Daddy, his name is Zecy. He was born in the Ukraine! Do you notice the Ewok resemblance?:
And this is Mommy, her name is Soxy. Isn't she adorable?
The puppies were born on Christmas Eve and we will get ours the last week in February, but we have to pick which on we want in two weeks.... tell us what you think. I'll post next weeks pictures when we get them.

Christmas time is here;)

Sorry about not blogging for a while... I don't believe I have very many faithful readers anyway. But here goes:

I was laid off about two months ago, it was pretty traumatic but I made it. It turned out well because now I'm doing the marketing for Doug's law firm and I'm going back to school in the Spring. I will be going on Tuesdays and Thursdays- and working the other three days. It's a fun job and I get to boss my boss around-

We went to Doug's family's for Thanksgiving but I lost my camera after my Florida trip so I didn't take any pictures. It was fun-

I went to Florida with my mom and had a ball- I hadn't gone on a trip with her in a long time, it was great! We went to Universal Studios, Blue Man Group, the beach, Johnson Space Center... oh and the Spa- my mom spoiled me with a full day at the Spa! It was fantasic- I'd never done that before- but I think everyone should, at least once in their life.

Doug and I are spending Christmas here- we were going to go to Texas, but the plane tickets were too expensive and we couldn't use award tickets- so we are going in January instead. To Medina- my grandparents house. My parents and sister (elizabeth and heno) are meeting us there. Doug hasn't been to Medina ever, and it's a euphoric place for me so I'm excited to go.

We'll also go back to Vegas in January- Doug spends time each month down there in the Vegas office- and because I'm working for the law firm.... I will now too!

I'm still planning my Christmas menu, but I'll let you know what I decide-- Merry Christmas y'all!
