It's birthday season

This is the time of year we like to call birthday season. Emma and Ryne have their birthday the end of August then Kate the beginning of September followed by Matt the middle of September and my birthday the beginning of October wraps it all up. Did I mention our anniversary is the middle of August. So this year we decided to get the kids one present they can all share. Lest you think we our lousy, thoughtless, mean parents please check out the present:





This is Cooper Karpowitz. Each of our kids asked for a puppy for their birthday, not one of them thought they would get one. We suprised them on Saturday and they are all in love. He is a great puppy, he sleeps through the night and goes to the back door when he has to go to the bathroom. Matt and I are in love with him. Our older and grumpier dog Nikki is not in love and hates this little dog. Oh well you can't make everybody. Happy birthday kids!

So cute! I think Cooper wants to take a roadtrip to Utah!

Cute kids holding a cute dog! I love puppies! I'm assuming that since my birthday is during birthday season, the dog is part mine.

I love it, we leave and NOW you get a cute puppy! Sure. I see how you are.

My kids are insanely jealous. He is adorable.

We just finished our birthday season too. Matt's, mine, Morgan's, and our anniversary (which is also your anniversary, I think), all wrapped up in about a month. Welcome back to the blogging world, Leah.

Love your new puppy! I like claiming your dogs as ours also (along with Finn). Just glad they live with you guys and come for a visit occasionally. :)
Happy Birthday to ALL

We have birthday season too! Jane and Hank in August, Kate's in Sept and the Claire's in November. Then Christmas hits and we are pooped when it's all over. Walter is the lucky man by himself in March.

I love your cherry background!

If you don't mind me asking, how did you set up your blog list on the sidebar there? I have a weird feedgit that I don't love...where can I get one like yours?
