Lara

Hi everybody,

She's here!!!!!
Yesterday morning we picked up our new puppy Lara. She is just over 7 weeks old now and adorable.


Although she still needs a lot of sleep, she loves to play with the kids, their socks, sweaters, t-shirts and of course with her own toys. Today we went for a walk and found out that cars, other dogs barking and moving trees are still a little bit scarry, but..... she's a real dare-devil so we don't expect any problems in the future.


In order to feel a little bit secure, she sleeps the first couple of nights in Sanne's room. This means for Sanne, that she needs to get out of bed in the middle of the night and let Lara pee. But everybody who knows Sanne, knows that she's great in taking care of things.....

This week all the kids (and Samantha) have the week off from school/work, so Lara will get plenty of attention. Hopefully by the end of the week she also knows how to be alone for a couple of hours. We'll see.

This is it for now. Enjoy the photo's and let us know what you think of our new family-member!!

Big hug,

Henk

The last couple of weeks

Hello everybody,

A couple of weeks ago we went with my grandma to an amusement park. We went in a rollercoaster that went really fast. There were little boats as well, you could drive it your self. I also liked the slides. They were really high and went really fast.

A few weeks later I went to a friend. We had a sleepover and we went on a boat. It was pretty much fun. We went to bed at 11:00 and woke up at 8:00. The next day I was really tired. My aunt and uncle came that day.

Two weeks ago we went to look at the puppy again. The mother Dixi has 9 puppy’s, 5 black ones and 4 light brown ones. The one we picked is a light brown girl and her name is Lara.
She is growing really fast, but she is still the smallest of them all. She was 5 weeks and 3 days old at the time of the photo. We are going to pick her up at the 18th of October (this Saturday!!!!!!)


Two weeks ago a friend of my mother came to visit us. She slept in my new bed and I slept in the spare bed that can be rolled under my bed if not in use!! She left on Sunday.
Last weekend we are going to Talitha and Richard (my aunt and uncle) because it is Yara’s birthday. Mom and dad go to Teuske, to help with her new house. And after that only one more week and then…………….autumn break. On Saturday we are going to pick up Lara and after that one whole week no school!!!!!



Love,

Sanne
