Holiday Hiatus

This past month has gone by in a blur, a season of family, friends, and festivities. We hosted and attended many a Christmas party. We had great friends over for the New Year. We were able to really test how efficient our home was built when the power was out for 12 hours during a snowstorm (it did well)... and we got a puppy!

We discussed a second dog for a couple of years.... and I may have periodically trolled Petfinder to see the dogs available in our area... But finally, in December, we stumbled upon a little dog that we just had to take home. She is a Lhasa-Poo (Lhasa Apso/ Poodle) and a little sweetheart. We adopted her from a wonderful rescue in central Nebraska, A Passion for Paws.

She is all puppy, with her snuggles, playful romping, and the evening wake-up call to go outside. I almost forgot how tired you become when you are regularly getting up at 3:00 am! 

So please excuse the holiday hiatus from posts. We are finally getting back into the rhythm of our days, with a new member of the family. :)
