Isabella Vedette

Fun, more fun! We have a new member of our family - Isabella Vedette - our new Rottweiler pup. Isabella refers to her beauty and Vedette is Italian meaning 'guardian'. She is 9.5 weeks old and very cute. She is snuggly and friendly. McKenzie came with Tony and me to pick her out. McKenzie will look at the puppy, bend at her waist and say to Bella, "Chase me!" (This is similar to what McKenzie does when she wants us to chase her, although at that time she says, "Tickle me!") Bella will be starting Puppy Kindergarten on January 22nd.

Memorial to Neeka

On December 17th, 2007, my beautiful Rottie, Dominique vom Claussen, was put to sleep. She was a wonderful dog, and will be greatly missed.

Birthday Boy!

Marky turned 1 today! His Grandma made him a Cars cake and he ended up with red frosting on him inside and out. Mark is walking and talking and is the cutest boy. His great uncle and aunt, Chris and Marie of the Crazy Caras Clan, brought him a telephone which he immediately picked up and began talking into the receiver. McKenzie tried to help, although she was more interested in eating about 5 cupcakes throughout the evening.

New Year Motto - 2008 is Gonna be Great!

I talked to my sister Shauna on New Year's Day, and was informed that we have a motto this year . . . and I'm all for it! And since last year was pretty good, I'm excited for this even 'great'(er) year . . .

We went to Chichen Itza, Xel-Ha, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres. We will definitely be back!

We did end up going home with a virus, but after a few days with fevers in bed, we recovered!
