Our Little Family

Wow, starting out a blog is tricky.  Basically, Peter and I are getting ready to expand our family!  I thought it would be nice to blog about our experiences over the next year or so.  This definitely an exciting time for us!

We were married on May 26th, 2006 - we just celebrated our 4 year anniversary.  We have a really fun life together...we sing, we dance, we laugh...Peter can make me laugh like no one else can!!

We have been blessed with an amazing support system - we are very close to all of our family members and have an incredible group of friends.

We love to travel...we have been on several cruises,  including our honeymoon cruise to Mexico.  We have been all over the country to visit family and to see many of our friends get married.  Peter's mom lives in Hawaii....this will always be a special place for us....this is where we fell in love!

A big part of our lives together are our pets.  Our little family includes 2 cats and 1 pup.  Both Peter and I look forward to getting home each night to be with our babies.  

Keiki was our first baby - we adopted her when she was a year old.  She had lived on the street for most of her life....to this day she remains very independent.  She is smart and sassy - she is an old soul.

Oliver (Ollie), our giant orange tabby is quite the opposite.....we adopted him when he was only a few weeks old.  He has grown into a very big boy but he still whines like a baby and requires a lot of attention!   He  loves Peter and will often follow him around the house. He even  likes to sleep in between Peter and I on our pillows each night!!  

Our newest addition is our puppy, Trudy!  She is a very tiny malti-poo with white, fluffy hair.  She is playful and has a ridiculous amount of energy. She LOVES her mama - I can always count on her to snuggle up with me.  Her favorite games are fetch and chase me/chase you.  She likes to help load the dishwasher and always protects Peter and I from the vacuum cleaner. Peter has never had a dog before and has said that he didn't know what he was missing....so cute!

OK, so that's us....I hope you'll stop in occasionally to see how things are going.  I will try to update regularly.  My goal is to blog 4 times per month for an entire year (they will not be this long, I promise!!).  My hope is that my last few posts will include pictures and info of our new baby.  Here we go......
