Ernie

Paul and I are fostering a dog named Ernie. He has been with us for two weeks now. I have been in denial so I haven't taken any pictures, but I don't think Paul is going to let him go. He is catching on to commands such as 'sit', 'off' 'down' and 'no'. He is 18 months old and a rescue dog. He is very emotionally needy and has to be right by your side. I have been taking him running everyday this week and it's been good for both of us. I'll keep you all updated on if it becomes official.

Smoker's Come to Town

Grandma and Grandpa Smoker from Wayne, PA came for a short visit this week. The four of us went out to dinner at Olive Garden on Tuesday night (I am currently hooked on their bread dipping sauce). Then the next day we showed them the church where Paul works and where we attend and they were greeted by the entire staff. They got the grand tour of Paul's office and the sanctuary. Then we took them to downtown Greenville. They were amazed at how beautiful the down town area was. It was a beautiful warm day and there was even lots of flowers in bloom (I still can't believe that its February!). We had a great time of fellowship with them and we love them so much! What a blessing it is to have Grandparents.
