a new addition!

and her name is Maggie Coco. But we will just call her Maggie. We had a few giggles picking her name while driving down to Welly in the car. Ruby loved Molly, Finn loved Coco + Taidhg loved Fluffy!! I was suggesting silly names like Bart, Homer, Moe, Crash .............but in the end Ruby came up with Maggie + we took a vote + it was 3 against 2 but we decided to be fair + add in Finn's choice of Coco in there too!!

So kev finally gave in + said we could have a dog but there had to be one condition that it had to be a Border Collie + pure at that too!!

So we found one at the end of last week on Trade Me. And even better she was in Wanganui + even better we were able to pick her up on our back from Welly yesterday.

She has one blue + one brown eye + her sight is fine. Her mother is like that too!

She is 11 weeks old.

So I guess I will be featuring a few doggie LO's now along with Donna!! :)

Thanks everyone for the warm thoughts in regards to my mum. Sadly when we got to Wgtn she she had to be taken back to hospital in a Ambo...........much to the kids delight!! So I spent the rest of the day with mum + dad at hospital + then mum got tranferred from the Hutt hospital into Wellington later that night. Bit of a bummer for dad as its very tiring on him. So Monday morning I basically hooned around doing a few jobs for dad + getting mum her BD pressie - a cardi........there are so many fantastic styles of them out for this winter + I just got her a light woollen one for sitting around in.

But good news in regards to mum's visit back into hospital.................she only has a infection from her wound. So she was hoping to be out today or tomorrow + hopefully now she can recover quickly form her op + start to regain a bit more quality to her life.

And lastly YEHAA for the rain!!
