Gretel!!

I realize everyone is waiting for wedding pictures...I promise they are on their way. My sister, who I am likely to refer to as Dr. Chapman, found us a new member of our family yesterday. Her name is Gretel and she is 4 months old. Carlos and I have talked about getting a dog once we get a new house with a fenced backyard, but when Beth called about Gretel we just couldn't say no. Gretel is a black and tan long haired miniature dachshund. Currently she weighs 4 1/2 pounds and Beth does not think she will get much bigger. We are so excited!!! Carlos was a little hesitant, only because he think a puppy will be a lot of work right now on my part since Alex is too little to take care of her. Marisa has totally agreed to help with feeing times and walking Gretel. Either way, she is pretty darn cute and will be with us in about 2 weeks when Beth is home for Thanksgiving!! Beth is giving her to us as a wedding gift!!!! She is the best sister and I know she will take great care of our newest addition until we welcome her into our home. Here are a few picutes Beth sent to us.
