The family is the building block of society. It is a nursery, a school, a hospital, a leisure center, a place of refuge and a place of rest. It fashions our beliefs; it is the preparation for the rest of our life. –Margaret Thatcher

Our new Puppy!


Yeah! October 30, 2006! The day was finally here to get Maggie! I was so excited, probably more than the kids, to meet her. What an adventure we had. First, we went to the wrong part of the airport and then when we tried to go to the cargo terminal we discovered that we had a flat tire. Of course, that is also when we discovered we did not have the right tools to lower the spare tire. I was so upset! Our little puppy was going to have to sit in her crate with no one there to take care of her. John must have thought I was nuts but he helped to keep me calm anyway. Almost an hour later, we finally got to the right area and we all ran to see if she was there yet. There she was - cute as anything! She came right out of her crate. We signed the paperwork and went outside for a better greeting. She was 8 weeks old and weighed about 8 pounds. Cute as ever! Especially with her cute rose colored squishy nose. She romped around on the grass for awhile, licked the kids to death and then was ready to go. Off we went to begin a new chapter in our life with our new Buchi pet.
