Well Hello!

Okay, I know it's been FOREVER, but here we are.

Rather than try to sum up the last month and a half or so I'll just start from today, okay?

We spent some great time at the park this week.  The weather is fabulous in the mornings and evenings and we 5 Whicker's are making the most of it.

Alice is hilarious.  She loves slides and goes down them by herself with no prompting.  That's not to say that her sisters will let her go by herself, afterall it's so fun to slide together, but that's a different story altogether.

Have you ever sent your husband to the store and they come back with something other than what you asked for?  Well, I have a whopper for you.  I sent Nathan to the store to pick up some pictures for me and also asked him to grab me a soda.  He got the pictures and the soda, but he also picked up a puppy!  Meet Duke, our new dog.  He was being given away at the Circle K and Nathan just couldn't resist.

Everyone loves Duke.  We're re-learing puppy etiquette...no tossing the puppy (he can't land on his feet like the cats), no hitting, no pulling toys out of his mouth etc.  Is has been a while since Izzy was a puppy, afterall.

A few weeks ago we went up to see Papa and have a picnic with him.  He'd been in the hospital for 6 weeks with a broken rib and phenmonia.  It was great to see him and we're so glad he's feeling better and otu of the hospital.

Alice is a ham.
