Meet Sophie....

Here is our new puppy we got today....Sophie is a 10 week old mini-schnauzer.

We're praying that after our last experience after Christmas, Sophie will be a happy member of our family!

I've attatched some pics of her...she's too cute!

I should metion HOW we ended up getting Sophie....

Brandon vowed we would NEVER have another dog, we had a Yorkie when we were first married who we could not house train....he now lives with my parents in Roanoke (and has since Evan was born)...

Gracie started asking for a puppy several months ago...and I over heard a prayer the week before Christmas, "Dear Lord, Thank you for my family, my friends, my house, my Christmas tree, my toys, food,etc.........And Lord, Please help my Daddy change his mind and let us get a puppy. I've already prayed 3 times today and I believe you will help him change his mind. AMEN."

Brandon decided he couldn't stand in the way of that prayer and as she was crying that night, he told her he would get her a puppy soon, and to keep it a secret. For the next week, she kept her secret, didn't tell a soul. Brandon took her to pick out a collar and they wrapped it up and gave it to me on my b'day, which was a total surprise...

And now...her prayer was answered =)
