Hamilton Happenings

We've had Jett for 1 whole year.  What in the world were we thinking getting a 12 week old puppy?  And it wasn't even Justin's idea!  I had been thinking about getting a dog for months.  I would tell Justin, "please remind me why it's a terrible idea to get a puppy."  And then we would discuss all the negatives to getting a dog.  And then the next day I would go back to thinking about it!  I could NOT get it out of my head.  Weird. Click HERE for a post shortly after getting Jett. I would peruse craigslist looking at all sorts of listings for dogs.  I knew I wanted a dog that didn't shed.  One night I found a listing for a springerdoodle puppy.  It was a slightly blurry picture of a very black, fluffy puppy.  I was mainly interested because it was a few hundred dollars less than other "doodle" breeds.  I started texting the breeder and set up a time to just come look at the puppy.  That was a joke.  Ain't no...

My kids love playing in the snow.  On December 2nd we got the first snow of the season.  Immediately after waking up the kids wanted to go play outside.  Which means... a lot of work for me.  Boots, hats, snow pants, coat, gloves, etc on three kids.  And then Isaac can't go outside on his own.  But their excitement is worth it.  Snow is magical to them!  And luckily it doesn't snow very often, usually.
