The same week I started school, Charlotte decided to foster a rescue pup, so Toby (Tobiyas – Hebrew for the Lord is Good) joined us. 

He captured our hearts, so we have plans to keep him.

In addition to Toby, we also welcomed into the family another niece! Number 17 of my nieces and nephews, Abigail is a sweet little baby and I was so frustrated at not being able to get over to see her immediately.  Plus…I was not sure if I had the flu or just a messed up gall bladder.  I felt nauseous all week.  Come to find out, I think it was just stress, so I got to hold her briefly on Sunday. 

All around…it was one wild week with a lot of “new” happening!
