I forgot to post pictures of the dog! This is a shot of Scout when she first came home at 8 weeks of age- She was 16 lbs- and now, at 4 months she is the better part of 36 lbs- and has soo much energy. She is a fantastic addition to our family; Here is a more recent photo- but she is even bigger now!
This is at about 14 weeks old- I'll take a more recent one in the next couple of days..

From when Aunt Susie came to visit- She bribed the heck out of the kids- and they all fell for it!

Steph and I made the Cherry Cola glaze ribs- that apparently Lara and Mom did not like at all. Hmmm, mabye we should make these more often???
