Our Other Girl

For those of you looking for an update on our black, hairy child (Mia), well here she is! She is now almost 8 months old and is a handfull. She's faster than we'll ever be, which makes things difficult when she takes off with our laundry. In fact, besides her amazing speed and agility, she's quite adept at hiding under our coffee table, just out of reach, when she's done something wrong. She's definitely a trouble-maker, but she's also a lot of fun. As you can see from the picture where she's in the basket, she has changed QUITE a bit in the past several months (the picture in the basket is from when she was six weeks old). She loves to play fetch, lick Dave's face, and seems to really enjoy having stinky breath. We're planning on breeding her with another pure-bred lab when she 'comes of age', so let us know if you're interested in a pup of your own. Otherwise, you're welcome to come take her off our hands any time you'd like (provided you eventually return her).

It's a Girl!

We've decided to finally join the 21st Century, and what better way to do it than by announcing that we are expecting a baby girl. We went in and had an ultrasound on Thursday, Sept. 27th and heard the great news. The ultrasound picture is about as clear as mud, but if you look closely, the word 'girl' on the bottom picture is between her legs (directly to the right of her distinguishing 'part'). The top picture is cool, but a bit eerie. Her face is towards the right, and you can see her eyeball along with the bridge of her nose. She was being a bit stubborn and wouldn't show us a full profile. Just to the left of that (the round section) is her belly and ribs. She was quite the wiggler so I have no doubt we will have our hands full come February 15th, 2008!
