Grayson & Liam ~ July Photos

Grayson and Liam pictures from July:  

We had fun taking the dog to the park in her special dog backpack.  It was much easier to run around after the boys when Sophie was in her backpack vs on the leash.  Grayson and Liam started Fred's Camp, but sadly, it ended after one week.  JuJu invited Grayson over for his first sleep over and they had a blast.  They went to dinner, played games, watched a movie, went to the candy store and had so much fun laughing and playing.  

Sophia (Sophie) ~ New Puppy

We found our puppy from a breeder in Michigan (just 30 minutes from the Ross family).  I had searched and searched for a dog online and found a breeder close to Northville, MI while we were visiting our friends.  We went to meet the puppy to see if we were ready for a puppy again and we instantly fell in love.  The mommy was 4 pounds and the daddy was 5 pounds so they expect her to be around 5 pounds.  Once we met her we knew she was the one, but had to wait 4 more weeks to pick her up.  It was a long 4 weeks, but with the help of a paper count down we made it.  We went back to our friends in Michigan to spend the night before picking up our puppy.  The Ross family also got a new puppy, Coco, and we can't wait for them to meet.  Sophia Braham (Sophie) was a great addition to our family.  She is feisty, but sweet and loves to chew on things, nip at everything and cuddle.  She slept through the night from day 1, except one night when she woke up once to go to the bathroom.  She sleeps in her crate at night with a blanket over it.  She is puppy pad trained and has been doing well, but definitely has accidents when we are not paying attention.  The boys have been great with her, although they are still learning to handle her.  She definitely lets them know when she doesn't like something by growling at them.  We love our sweet Sophie and can't wait until she stops the biting.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July!  Daddy bought a bunch of fireworks in Indiana (too much of course).  We were so excited that JuJu was able to come over and spend some time with us.  We had fun lighting off the fireworks on our roof top (slightly dangerous), but after a while decided it was best to move the party to the parking lot of the school across the street.  Luckily there were several other friends lighting off fireworks at the school so we had fun watching the fireworks show.  Unfortunately, one of the fireworks caused a small fire on our roof top (oops!).  Thankfully Daddy double checked this before bed and made sure we were safe.  We always love the 4th of July and lighting off fireworks.
