Kaleigh has decided to cut off her long hair after only having two major haircuts in her almost 7 years of life. Ryan and I finally gave in and decided to let her cut it off with the condition that she wait until she could donate it to Locks of Love. Thanks to a terrific stylist, April, Kaleigh has an awesome new hair cut and someone else will benefit from her beautiful hair.
It was a mistake...I knew it the minute I walked up to my parents door. It was an honest mistake though. Ryan and I stopped by my parents house to drop off a couple of things before our quick date night at Kitchen Pass. As I am knocking on the front door, these HUGE brown eyes peer out from under the lawn chair. Dad comes to the door and said that this ugly little puppy that was missing all the fur from his belly to middle of his back had followed him home from the park. It had been dumped and was starving. Needless to say that my parents had fallen in love with this mutt that has absolutely attached himself to their front porch. They don't need another dog to take care of and well we are without one. So.....the kids have begged to keep Sam, Scrappy, etc..whatever his name may be. Time will tell if I can resist this mutt's brown eyes or if we will be the proud new owners of a puppy! I will post pictures later.
The newest addition to the Burke family arrived on Saturday April 25th, 2009. After the loss of our family dog in early April, the kids were just feeling empty. Then came the all too early death of a 17 year old in our church. I guess the feelings of life being too short and unpredictable made Ryan and I give in to their requests. So that is how Sophie Marshmallow Sonya Burke came to our family. Sophie is a white and tan colored gerbil.
