Introducing...

...the newest member of our family. I'd like you all to meet...Holly! She is a mini-daschund (not sure how to spell that). She is 19 weeks old and weighs about 5 pounds. We got her this afternoon, and already love her!

To try to convince us to adopt her, the kids wrote up and signed this contract...

Contract For Holly

We promise to make sure Holly always has food and water. Take her for a walk. And clean up any of her accidents. If Mom or Dad ever asks us to help with her we have to do what they ask. Signed...Rachel, Braden and Stefanie

Say "YES"!

My Creed

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

*To make all my associates feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

*To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

*To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

*To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

*To be too secure for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

*To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in small deeds.

*To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
