October fun

Austin turns 9!

We surprised him with a trip to Portland & the zoo.  Inviting cousin's, friends, and grandparents to join too.  It was a fun weekend and one to remember.

 

We stayed at the Washington Square Embassy Suites which worked out perfectly.  My parents stayed too & brought Isaiah. The Franklin clan met us that morning at the zoo.

Austin was presented with a "respectful" award at school

Newest member of the family

 

He is suppose to be a toy Australian shepherd, but based on his size now we are thinking he will be mini size full grown. He has one blue eye and one brown eye and is considered a tri merle color. He doesn't have a name yet, but is blending in very well with our family.  Kallie even loves him, which is saying a lot. She is usually very mean to other dogs.

Chris and "no name"

He moves so much... picture is a little blurred.
