White as Snow

One week with Daisy in the books and I think that we will all tell you she is a lot of work. In addition to regular puppy issues, we have had some interesting weather here to add to the task. Last Sunday it rained all day and she did not enjoy that and this weekend it snowed about four inches. So, enough with the weather.

The kids are getting used to having the pooch around and she has been pretty good at night. That being said, she has been a lot of work during the day and Marcy has been busy taking her out quite regularly. Even with diligent efforts, Daisy appears to have the bladder of small field mouse and she has been making a few messes in the house. Thank goodness there is not much carpet in the house :) Kudos to Marcy who has borne the brunt of the thankless task of potty training.

Anyway, as we adjust, life goes on. The kids are doing well and had a busy week of activities and play dates. Lily had time to play with Madeline, Hayley and Cole and her friend Claire from school. Lily continues to do ballet at school and started gymnastics again today. She is busy busy and is rocketing towards kindergarten.

Jack is staying busy with Beatrice but is ready to go to school with Lily. He is talking a ton and is learning stuff so quickly that we all collectively shake our heads sometimes (Lily included) with the things that come out his mouth. Last night, Lily was singing along with the radio and Jack told her to "Stop singing". Lot's of long car trips ahead of us!

Anyway, that is all for now, onto the pics.
