So she's finally here. I think Paige has thought she was never going to be here. Paige and Ryan met Grampa Keith on Thursday night to get her. They got home at 9pm; so we had a short time with her before Mom was mean and wrangled Paige to the bathtub and bed. Bless my husband, as he dealt with the puppy all night long while I dealt with my baby (who is still up at night); but that night Ryan learned what a newborn is like! She cried a lot. The kids and I ventured that next afternoon to Williston and got home this afternoon about 2pm; so Paige finally got to get some Piper time in. Ryan reported that the crying is much better and she was quiet until about 4am this morning. The two of them have gotten some major bonding time in; and that's a good thing. She's had a few accidents in the house--most on the cement where her 'area' is; but hopefully we won't have to be watching her every move so closely hoping she doesn't go on my carpet! She had her first run in with a neighborhood cat this afternoon; but Paige reported that they 'didn't even tackle' so it must have went okay!

Meet Piper

Our family had a really busy weekend. We took Friday off and survived very icy roads near Bowman and made it to Fargo that afternoon. We spent the weekend with Keith and Sandy, who were great hosts and didn't allow me to cook or help. I am not going to lie, I appreciate that! Little I was this weekend, so we met up with some old friends for supper. I joined the boys for supper and then Ryan and the group descended on Chubs for the remainder of the evening. Saturday was spent meeting friends, and their beautiful little boys. Kaden and Brandt, thanks for letting us come and meet you--you are both adorable and I am glad I got to visit, even for a brief time.


Another bonus part of our weekend was to pick out our puppy. Our family will be getting a beautiful Australian Shepherd puppy courtesy of Keith and Sandy about the end of March/first of April. Conveniently right around Paige's birthday! She has puppy/dog fever and didn't even want to leave their house for a moment unless a dog was with. The mother is a wonderful dog; she's calm and has great manners. I will be thrilled if our puppy turns out even half as good as she is. The puppies are only 2 weeks old, but ours had open eyes. All the better for her to see the little girl that fell deep in love this weekend. Everyone, meet Piper.
