We Are Pleased To Announce a new addition to our family

Please meet our cockapoo, Brooklyn

(how could I say no to that cute face?)

Before I was ever pregnant, Joe announced that he had the perfect name for our first daughter. The name? Brooke Lynn. After laughing for about 5 minutes, I told Joe that I would never name my future daughter Brooke Lynn, but that we could name our future dog, Brooklyn. For years Joe continued saying that his idea was genius, and for years I continued laughing, and insisting that we would give that name to our dog. So here she is, the daughter we never had.

I'm quite sure Joe is laughing at me now, wondering what I was thinking when I purchased us an 8 week old puppy. And honestly, I have no idea what I was thinking, or how I even got the idea of a puppy. But I've got to tell you, she is beyond cute, and she has already added some much needed laughter to our family. And for that I'm sure Joe is thankful.

p.s. how well you all know me. I really didn't think I'd bring a puppy home today, but you knew better!
