Meet Tessa Christine, the newest little person in our life, born October 16th.  Here she is pictured one day old.  Isn't she precious?  We can't wait to watch her grow!

Congrats Alisa and Mike!

And a big congrats to big bro, Gavin, who insisted on naming this child Erica, however it went in one ear and out the other of his parents.

Puppy Birthdays

Lucas

 We celebrated two pretty special birthdays this month.  On October 4th, our little Cockapoo turned five!  We celebrated with unlimited bones, a can of dog food, and a new toy that he destroyed in a matter of one hour!  October 15th marked 5 years of having our Florida dog.  We rescued him and never turned back.  The date is now his birthday, we think he's 12.  He celebrated the same, but his dog toy is intact and he carries it everywhere.

"A new dog never replaces an old dog, it merely expands the heart!"

Josh and Christina's Wedding

2 weeks ago, Ashley came for a visit to Chicago to see her friends Josh and Christina get married!  I was her date!  I was super excited to be her date because I got to see these two love birds get engaged  last year in front of Cinderella's Castle in Disney World,  It was another match made in Disney, so of course I wanted to be apart of all of it!!!!!!  To see it come full circle was awesome!   And hey, I would like to say I gained two new friends!

I made a ridiculously good lookin' date, if I don't say so myself.  

Besides the wedding, Ashley and I passed the time, watching TV, looking at each other's Pinterest accounts, sunbathing, and looking thru all my photo albums.
