It's been six months since I've updated my blog. In that time, Sam turned 8, we had a trip to Wisconsin, and we got a new dog. See below for the quick update.

We got Tootsie (full name Tootsie Roll Bush) over the kid's winter break in February. She is a shitzu mix and was 6 weeks old when we got her. She's very cute and has been a pretty good puppy so far. She's been housebroken for a while now and hasn't chewed up anything major.

Amy, Mom and I took a trip to Wisconsin in February. Here is GG on her 81st bday!

We surprised Lissa and showed up at her shower. She was VERY surprised.
