Life with Cocoa





I never dreamed that having a dog would be even harder than having a baby. At least with a baby you can put a diaper on them. (Although, they do have diapers.) And babies smile and coo at you....YET we are so thankful for Cocoa, even if our carpet has been scarred for life and our nights more interrupted. She is sweet and will really be a great help for us with Tallinn soon. Already she has woken us up several times when Tallinn's blood sugar was low. She has been getting better during the daytime as well, but I think it's harder as there are so many more distractions. We have already taken her so many places...the beach, church, Trader Joe's, restaurants, and she's done remarkably well. If only she would behave this well at home. Kinda like when your kids are perfect for their teachers, but naughty at home.

Anyway, I don't get as much time to post these days, but here's our newest addition. We've also had a fabulous Japanese student living with us since September and she is a gift. We will be so sad when she has to go back to Japan, as we are with all of our special guests. So, this will be a mix of pictures.
