Alrighty-
As many of you know-we got ourselves a new puppy. He is the sweetest, calmest puppy I have ever seen. Me & the kids & a friend went to the humane society to look at puppies. Luke wanted a "little puppy he could hold in his hands". Well, when they brought us out several tiny puppies, they were hyper, and crazy-and Luke changed his mind real quick about a little puppy-Emmy concurred. So I asked the lady we were working with what she recommended. She said "I would hate to give him up-but I think we have the perfect boy for you" She brought in Alex, who immediately sat down, and cocked his head and waited. When we put out our hands he came over and licked us. When we told him to sit-he sat. He licked the baby-and she laughed. It was just perfect. Turns out-Alex was brought in when he was just a few weeks old, and someone had pulled his hair out and put him in a dumpster. A huge black man found him about an hour and a half away-and drove in a thunderstorm to bring him to the shelter. The man's name was Alex. The shelter didn't think he was going to live-he was in pretty bad shape. So the head guy at the shelter took him home with him every night-and let him live with him for the last 3 months. He never went in the kennels with the other dogs-he lived under the counter with all the people who worked there. So-he is house trained, crate trained, knows commands, and is so sweet to the baby. He is a big boy-part rottweiler and part german sheppard-so he will be HUGE, but he is going to be an outside boy most of the time-so it should be good. The kids love him-and are still worried that we will be taking him back. Luke wants him to sleep in the bed with him-yeah right. Emma Grace tries to play with him-but when he gets hyper-she's done. Baby Lauren LOVES Alex. she is as sweet with him as he is with her. Considering they are technically about the same age-I am very impressed. Here are some pictures. (I know the caulk in the bathtub looks hideous-but it's on the to-do list) And this is what the house looks like now that Steven has finished painting it. I think it looks fab!
Laying outside of the bathroom waiting for the kids to get done with their bath
What a handsome boy
(Note: the white on his head & ears is where he was trying to help Daddy with the painting)
It's nice being able to bathe them all at the same time
Those are some seriously studly muscles!

I did cut Oliver's hair a few weeks ago, but I don't think I posted about it. It just looks nice in the Easter pics cause M'laine slicked it over after his bath :) And we find out what the sex of our baby is on April 8th! We'll keep everyone posted.
Hey Abbey! Now THIS is more my style. I use Facebook sporadically. I love to read blogs and find out what everybody's up to. So, ya'll live in Leeds and we live in Moody. Crazy. Where do you go to church? Quinn is on staff at Community Pres in Moody, however we are moving to Jackson, MS in May for him to finish seminary. Anyway, I'll be checking your blog daily now! Good to hear from you!
