KATY!
We had to send Katy off to live with Ayden and his family when we couldn't get her to stop barking at the neighbor in the early morning. Lucky for us and Katy, Ayden had space for her. She now lives with Brownie and Tommy (fellow Beagles). We went to visit her yesterday in Corona.

Our Christmas Tree

Our Christmas Tree
I discovered that you cannot just take a tree out of a box and expect it to look like the tree pictured on the box! You have to separate each branch! It was more work than I anticipated, but we are delighted with the results!

Ouch!

Ouch!
