Announcing some new additions

So for all of you who know us, you probably thought this day would never come.  To be honest, neither did I. 
Ethan took these pictures.  They are his fish and frog.  He had 2 frogs but 1 died.  He's buried in our backyard.  We had a touching memorial and talk about him often.  Oh, but this is not all....

These guys are soooo fun!  We love them.  They stay downstairs most of the time because of Randy's allergies, but there are times they wander upstairs.  The one on the left is Bouncer (boy) and the other one is Patches (girl).  Don't worry, we got them at the Humane Society and they are both fixed...guaranteed!

So now you are thinking our hands are full, right?  We wouldn't possibly do anymore, right?  Well, you are totally wrong!

Yep, we got a puppy.  Oh, but not just ANY puppy.  We got a Great Dane.  Why?  Because that is the only dog Randy has ever wanted.  Besides a boxer, but we can't do one of those right now - too much energy for our CALM family!



This is the face that keeps me up at night.  Literally. 


POST EDIT: How lame that I didn't tell you the name of the dog.  The kids named him THUNDER because his bark will be as loud as thunder.  Boy, ain't that the truth!

I ask this with complete love... are you insane? Love animals, but with so many kiddos i wouldn't dare! Love that you are more daring than me, or it's that you are completely and utterly insane.
