  • picture update...

    We have a new member to the Ockrin household. His name is Brady and he has fit into our family rather effortlessly. That probably has much to do with the fact that he is one and trained as well as the few days we got to get acquainted with him while the older three spent some time between the grandparents. Gabe and I deemed it a date weekend staycation until last night. It was SO fun and peaceful! Who says you have to go anywhere to get some R&R?! This will definitely be in the running for future get-a-ways. It's official! We are old and we love our OWN bed.

    Brady LOVES Gabe! He was with a female owner for a year but his first owner/trainer was a male. Those early weeks of bonding play a big part in their lives so as a result he tends to favor Gabe. I think it's absolutely adorable! I can tell Gabe likes it and feels rather special.

    We had just Boaz on our staycation. It was special. It was a treat. This kid is such a peach!

    And a HAM!

    Staycation was fun but we are happy to have life back to normal. We missed our other kids! I am glad to have them back. They keep us on our toes and make life interesting that is for sure! I can't imagine this world without them. They really are blessings, each and every one of them!

    Running to check wild blackberries and get an apple snack.

    It is good to all be home and under one roof again.

    Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, Grammy and Grampy for helping to make such fun memories with our children. They are blessed to call you grandparents! THANK YOU FOR THE R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
