Christmas Morning 6:30am.....

Sadie (7) climbs into bed with us....

Sadie: "Mom, it is 6:30, I think I will wait until 7:00 and then wake up the boys."
Me: "Good idea."
Sadie: "I just woke up from a dream. It was Christmas morning, and we went out to the tree, and there were only 2 presents under the tree. But it was still a great Christmas because Christmas isn't about presents. It is about Jesus and family."

That was the best present of the day!!

For Sale: The Cutest Puppy Boy EVER!!....

The home for our boy pup has fallen through, so we are again on the lookout for his forever family!! He is AKC reg. Chocolate Lab, 5 weeks old, and the CUTEST thing you have EVER seen!! He will be ready to go home on Labor day. If you or anyone you know is looking, have them get in contact with me ASAP for details and to come see him!!!

One month old!!

We are thouroughly enjoying these little guys for the next 3 weeks....then they will move on to thier new families. :o) and :o(

Can you guess what today was????

I think the music and the photos say it all.....

Peek-a-Boo! and playful pups.....

The pups turned two weeks old, and thier eyes opened up.....

And now they are starting to play with one another...TOO CUTE!

As you can hear from the video, we are all very amused by them.

Puppies are 10 days old now....

They are oh so cute! Their eyes will be opening within the next few days, and the kids cannot wait!!!

Pics of Brother pup....

(I love this pic on Jon's knees)

Pics of Sister pup....

Sadie is head over heels for these puppies. We keep reminding her that they will be going to live with forever families when they get big, and that ours is just a temporary home for them, but I am not sure she wants to believe it. Just look at the smile on her face!!

5 days old...

These puppies are getting big QUICK!! They were about 1lb at birth, and at 1lb 10oz at 4 days old!! Here are some updated pics.

Mama Marlee with the pups at 5 days old - compare this with the similar photo of them when they were 8 hours old...WOW!
All snuggled up!

Sister pup using brother pup as a pillow....sweet!

R M Puppies?? S M R Puppies. L I B!! M R Puppies!!

(Maybe only the Daly family will get the title.....maybe only me, LOL)

Today, Marlee had her babies!!! All I wanted was to be here for it, and she had other plans. I left the house for less than 2 hours, and when I came home, they were both here!! There is one male and one female, and they are both solid chocolate (from the best I can tell, I havent examined them TOTALLY yet) and they are BEAUTIFUL!!! She is a good mama and they are just eating and snuggling and making the cutest puppy noises!!

The darker, smaller one right in front is the female. The slightly larger, and lighter one under her leg is the male.

This is a picture of Lenard with both doggie parents back in May.

I will post pics as they grow cuter and cuter!!!

UPDATE!! - Pics of the pups 8 hours old.....
