Welcome to the family, Zoë!








I am long overdue in welcoming Zoë, the newest extended member of our family. Aunt Callie adopted her baby last July, adding yet another girl to our mix. Brooklyn and Talia are super excited to have a cousin to play with, and Grandma and Grandpa are thrilled to have yet another excuse to use the baby gates.

From the photos, you’ll probably notice the loving bond between Talia and Zoë. Talia made quick friends with her pug cous’ by willingly sharing her food. This wouldn’t be that bad except that she’d often finish it off after Zoë took a lick or too! We quickly discovered that the two have lots in common—such as drooling, chewing on everything, and eating scraps off the floor. They even like to go for rides in the same luggage carrier.

As for Brooklyn, once she got past her concern that Zoë was going to eat her, she discovered that a pug can be tons of fun to drag around the house on a leash. Fortunately, Zoë was very accommodating. At any rate, welcome to the family!

Priceless photos! Zoe was a hit at Christmas. However the grand daughters made her earn her place as the center of attention.

Keep smiling!

Love, Papa K.

Ok, once I got over the ew factor, I must agree that Zoe is very cute. Especially cuddled up with Talia.

That sounds perfect! Have your sister get a dog and you can enjoy it, but not have to take care of it. The pictures are beautiful. We miss you guys!
