Easter Eve - A New Journey

Spent a delightful day at Scraggy Neck "picking up sticks" to clean up the yard.  Great exercise which we all needed and what a spectacular weather day!  So sunny and cool.  Perfect for that type of work.


The kids enjoyed playing in the "Wolf pup Hideout" - (Koen's creation) - aka The Honeymoon suite, aka The Shed at Scraggy.  Once they got bored with that, they headed over to the playground.  Pretty phenomenal to see how tall they are all now.  For the most part, all the kids get along great, which means the adults can finally breath a sigh of relief.

So, beginning tomorrow, we (the four of us) are on a road trip to Michigan to meet the parents of a puppy we intend to adopt in August.  Lisa and the kids have been lobbying for a dog, and while I felt pretty strongly against it initially, we have found a pretty amazing breed that will work with Lisa's allergies, and be a great fit for our family.  It is a Siberian Indian Dog.  They are stunningly gorgeous
and as a family we are ready now to expand by one more.  In preparation for the pup we have been tossing around names and so far the options are Noa, Piper, & Sky.  Even having gone through what feels like hundreds of names, there are few we can all agree on.  Luckily we have another several months to help solidify a name.

First stop on the road trip is Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, then Monday morning heading straight to Stanton, MI.  Should only be seven hours on the second day.

Much more to follow, but that is all for now.  Happy Passover and Easter for those who celebrate!
We will post updates in the next few days here.
