Adding to the Family

In the past year Mr. H and I have moved to Colorado, changed jobs, and became home owners.  We've been extremely blessed and I keep thinking one day we're going to slip - there has to be a trial coming! Deciding to add 2 new additions to our family might have been a self made slip! You read correctly, 2!

Two weeks ago we brought home an 18 week old chocolate lab.  Oh, did you think I was having twins? Nope.

His name is Angus and he is a ball of fun...most of the time.  He has his quarks like sleeping under the bed (and getting stuck), only playing fetch with a white tennis ball, eating wood, and doing what ever he can to sleep on our memory foam bathroom mat.  We love him and he has taught us a lot in 2 weeks.  I've learned that I need to work on the level of my voice and that Mr. H can disapline effectively.

We have been blessed again by finding out we are having a boy!  Of course we would have been happy to have a girl but we did hope for a boy so our kids will have a big brother.  Plus, it is so much easier thinking of boy names.  We had our first boy name picked out since our honeymoon (ok I admit we picked out all of our kid's names then).  Driving through Austin we discussed, for the first time, ideas for baby names.  We both like using family names and Mr. H has his grandfather's name so of course the middle name would be Lee like Mr. H.  During this conversation Mr. H asked, "What do you think of the name Brodie?"  I loved it, but of course I knew we had just past Brodie Lane!  Yes, our son will be named after a road!
