New puppy and first winter snow

Ok so it started snowing at 8pm. The kids were already in their pjs and decided to go out and play in the fresh snow. Ahhh who would have thought I would let them out not properly dressed. :)

Maya our pound puppy. They say she is lab and who knows what else. She is about 10 months old. Such a sweet girl with pretty good manners. She puts up with a lot from C.

While I vacuumed the kids piled up the 3 dog beds in the hall way. Maya jumped right on top and the kids followed.

C. passed out.

Maya's first night with us.

My computer is in the shop... hope to be back soon.

Some scenic shots by Rob; Tanya does not think they are blog-worthy for some insane reason. If any of you agree with her then you all are insane too.
