Today Emma was giggling while I was tickling her and I noticed that her top teeth are finally coming in! She has one big top front tooth that is poking through and the others are right there as well, getting ready to poke through. She also, for some strange reason unknown to me, has 2 teeth coming in way in the back that are in the top. Those are kind of freaky cause they look like vampire teeth. Aside from those few teeth poking through on top, she only has her 2 bottom front teeth. But she has become very proficient with mashing food with her gums. She has also become a very good climber, or shall I say a very bad climber! In the blink of an eye she can climb to a standing position onto the kitchen table! All of this exploring has put her skin in a constant state of being bruised or scratched. Ok dudes that is all for now. I have to go walk the pups!!

Well, we brought the new pup home last night. I think we have settled on calling her Boda. Just so that everyone knows...Boda was the female companion to Loki (the god of mischief). Together, Boda and Loki created Hella, goddess of the underworld. This is from Norse Mythology in case you were wondering. Anyway, I did end up staying up almost all night with the puppy. But not because she was bad or anything, because I was too excited to sleep! I am such a dork! I have always wanted to own two bad-ass dogs that everyone would love and be totally jealous of. Now I have the perfect dog team. I know some of you are probably thinking that Loki is less than perfect but you are seriously mistaken. Soon, Boda will be just as cool as Loki. Ok, I'm starting to sound like a freak so I'm going to stop. Anyway, now I have 2 totally cool dogs and I'm very excited. I will get some pics up soon of this beautiful pup but beware: I will say that she is not as beautiful as Loki.

Hey, I'm sorry, I forgot to update these past two weeks. I was on spring break for a week and then I forgot this past week. However, none of that matters now, because we have big news. We are adding someone to our family!!! That's right people, we're getting another dog!!! HA!!!! You probably thought I was pregnant!! Anyway, we are adopting a 13 week old australian shepherd girl puppy. We are not sure what to name her yet so please email me any suggestions. So far we have Piper, Shibby, Boda and Torrance. If you like any of those names, please email me and tell me which and why. We are picking her up in Roanoke, VA on Saturday the 13th of April. It is going to be a long day since it is a 200 mile drive(one way). I guess I should go to bed now since I have all that driving ahead of me.....
