Family Time!!

So this past Saturday Dave convinced me to step out of my prissy box (which I'm quite content in)
and we went hiking at Babler Park. It was great to get out and get some exercise. We took Lola along
and she carried her backpack...yes, the dog has a backpack. As a "working" breed, they like to be able
to haul things during long walks, so we filled it up with her water bowl, water, our keys, phones, etc.
The hike was great, as was the scenery. However, I quickly discovered on Sunday that I had been seriously
attacked by chiggers!!! Gross!!!!! Dave and I counted the bites tonight and I'm hanging in there around 65
or 70. Needless to say, the itching is unbearable and I will not be venturing into the woods anytime soon
wearing anything short of a full suit of armor.
I'm also posting some pictures of my new niece, Stella. Corey came home this weekend and brought the
lastest edition to the family. She is part Lab and part Charpe(don't know if I spelled that right). Anyway, she
is absolutely adorable and has a very sweet disposition. Can't wait to get her and Lola together!
Also, just want to say congrats to Stevie and Jessie on their new baby girl, Ayden! Can't wait to meet her.
