Announcements and such

We've talked about this for some time now, but not even two months ago we were in a small two bedroom apartment. So it just seemed wrong to even think about. Fortunately though, we are now in a spacious, three story, three bedroom town home. Not the biggest back yard, but we have a ginormous park across the street. I know Leah is ready for a little bit of big kid responsibility, and she'd loooove having a little friend around ALL the time.

OK. OK. OK. WHAT IS YOUR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT MEGAN!!! Get to the point.

Haha. Alright.
I'm not pregnant.
We won't be welcoming a sweet little human into this world. Just yet. Although, we would live to. But that's all I'm saying about that.

However, we are going to be welcoming a baby into our hearts and home. He just isn't human. Yes, I said HE. Its a boy! And he's a PUPPY! An Australian Shepherd puppy to be exact. He was born on June 1, 2012. So he is just 6 weeks old right now. He'll be staying with his his mommy for 2 1/2 more weeks. He will have his first shots and a health guarentee. His parents were beautiful and unbelievably friendly and loving.

This Tuesday past I decided to randomly look up some ads online for puppies. When i came across these twelve little Aussies up for sale. They were all gorgeous. All had unique and different pots and markings. Matt and i talked about it all afternoon, evening, night, and finally decided it was the right time, and the right puppy, and the right price. The next day I called and arranged to go meet the puppies for the following day.
I knew they'd be cute, but my gosh, I didn't think they'd all be THAT cute. I fell in love with a little girl, and she sort of fell in love with me. I hate saying he wasn't our first choice but, he was our second. The girl was already spoken for. The boy we chose was calm and cuddly and patient. He was curious and had the most beautiful markings. We took pictures, cuddled him, and sadly, said goodbye for another 2 1/2 weeks. But he is ours. Family, and we know he was meant for us. He has gorgeous blue eyes. Which might change to green, or stay blue.

We will welcome him with open arms and open hearts. We are so ready for this little guy.

His name.... is Jax.
