Harper finds a home....

We got a new puppy!
  
But first things first.  Please pray for sweet Emily.  On 1/23/09 Emily will be undergoing a procedure in Birmingham to close a small, persistent blood vessel that usually closes at birth.  The problem is called a PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus), and the procedure involves running a small catheter up through the artery in her leg to the problem vessel and then closing it with a very small coil.

So please join us in prayer for an effective, uncomplicated procedure with a quick recovery.  We love Emily so much.  She has been entrusted to us by The Lord, and we want only His best for her! 


This past weekend we added Harper to our family.  He is a sweet little Golden-Doodle, and he has already grafted into our organized chaos.




Our dear friends from Norfolk Virginia, The McCormicks, flew in and got their new puppy, Scout.  He's a Schnoodle.  The two of them played so well together.  Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Hi,

What a beautiful family...even the puppy is gorgeous! Thanks for leaving a message on my blog. I'll get in touch if this breeder doesn't work out.

Hope all is well with your daughter's PDA surgery. She is so precious...what a beautiful little being.

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'll be looking out for you at the beach. We are going for New Years, any chance you'll be there then? Looking forward to following along as you blog! You have a beautiful family!
