Though blurry, this is Cameron receiving his high school diploma from Apex High School. He's already moved out on his own, is working full-time and is planning to go to school full-time as well. If anyone can do it...that kid can.

We just got a new puppy. I was missing Shasta but was not ready to have a new Husky and David had always wanted a Bassett Hound, so here is our new Bassett Hound, Ellie Mae. We figured that she needed a Southern Name. She is a real sweetie but going through the "Alligator" stage of puppyhood where she wants to bite everything. We've also spoiled her already. She thinks she belongs on the couch with us and we have been taking turns sleeping with her (since she is not housebroken yet) and so I'm sure that she is going to assume that she needs to be sleeping on the bed with the people as well. That's not so bad when she only weighs 10 pounds...but when she weighs 60 that might be an issue!

Daffodil Thinks She is a Shoe

Well, I came across this picture of Daffodil (our baby cat) and I just had to post it. It's a few years old...she's much more tubby now. But she is so sweet (David thinks she may be "simple" but that just adds to her sweetness) and looks like a little stuffed animal. Her legs are on "wrong" (she is bowlegged and her feet turn out as well), her tail is too long and her ears are too big. But she is just the sweetest cat and thinks Whisper is her friend. Whisper actually seems to be in agreement with that.
