A New Addition to our Family...

On Thursday, April 16th, we welcomed the cutest little Jack Russell Terrier to our family. She was born on March 8th and we've decided to name her Piper. At five and a half weeks old, she weighs in at all of two pounds (if that!) and she stands about 5 inches tall at her shoulder but she is full of all of the classic Jack Russell energy!




The new puppy was all a huge surprise for Emory and Ellie on Friday morning when we got them up early before heading off to school. They thought Daddy had to go out of town for work on Thursday and had no idea that he had spent 10 hours in the car going to pick up their new puppy!


Here's Piper curled up in her "bed". She's so small that she's been sleeping in a laundry basket with a fleece blanket for her first two nights with us. She likes to be snuggled and keep warm. She's just so cute! We love you Piper!
