Professional photos!

Last week we had professional pictures taken of Cooper, including a few with Tatum. We are thrilled with the results!

Christmas, etc

Wow, what a whirlwind we've had the last few weeks!

We are in the process of settling into a schedule, and our nights have ranged from really good, to more like the all-nighters we pulled in college--at least there were no tests the next morning ;-)

We are so thankful for our 2 wonderful boys as we celebrate the holidays :)

Joyfully,
Kirsta & Michael

OK, can't resist this cute picture of Blaze & Joker--we were away from them for 3 weeks.
We were sure happy to re-unite!!

Pups on the deck in Westcliffe--Trapper was really hoping he was now in a 1-dog-family
since he was home with us for 5 days before we went to get B & J. Unfortunately for him....he was wrong ;-)

Blaze loves Cooper and would really like to lick him 24/7
