This week our family was very sad when our wonderful dog of 12 years passed away. We will miss Sydney so much. Carter was very sad about it and we have talked about it alot. This picture of Sydney was taken just a month or so ago at Carter's 4th birthday party by my photographer friend Jennifer Anderson.
Carter immediately began asking for another puppy. We were hesitant to rush into getting one but when Jayson found out that we could get Sydney's nephew from McMinnville (same place we got Sydney), he just could not resist. Right or wrong to rush into a puppy purchase...we quickly took to this little guy. Carter has already named him "Thomas." Imagine that....ha! :-) He is chewing on my feet right now while I am typing...I think we are in for some work. He's so cute though...I think he'll be worth it. Here is a picture of Thomas and Carter watching Peter Pan before going to bed tonight.
