1. How do you divide up chores in your homes?

I'm officially in charge of everything.

Toy pick up.

Raven

My camera isn't working, so we'll have to wait on pictures of the new puppy. I'm still trying to figure her out. As most dogs in the pound, they had her and her brother labeled as 'Chow/shepherd cross'. If every dog labeled that way WAS that mix the whole doggy population of this city would be chow/shepherd.

I'm pretty certain that Raven has no chow in her. Both her and her brother were completely free of black tongues. Coloring alone suggests border collie as one parent... though Raven has hardly any white on her-- just the tip of her tail and a tiny patch on her chest.

She has button ears-- with curly hair on them-- and her whole coat is rather fluffy and woolly... and a very short saber-like tail....

Happiness is...

... a husband who calls on his way to work just to say 'I love you.'

... a little brother who emulates everything his big brother does, because he thinks he's the BEST.

...two little bunnies who have a new ramp that allows them the right to be free and run around the yard.

... a sweet husband who makes a craft room for his wife out of the third bedroom and says 'the boys prefer to sleep together anyway!'

... a mother who is also a best friend, to weave with... and obsess about fibers with...

... a new puppy, who is coming home TONIGHT!

... having the gospel and knowing this never has to end!!!!
