Gary and I are both so fortunate to work with people that we really like and enjoy seeing every workday. A few weeks ago the people at Gary's work place threw us a baby shower and this week my coworkers gave us a shower for Natalie. Quite a few people picked up on the owl theme as you will see in the below pictures. Natalie was given some very nice gifts which we greatly appreciated, but our favorite part was the loving support that we received from our friends. Natalie is loved already and not just by us.

"Welcome home to the Happy Haus" is the greeting I used to receive from Gary when we arrived home from work each day. Gary and I brought our daughter Natalie home from China in November 2011 to live with us in our cozy cottage. In October of 2013, we unexpectedly lost Gary, our dear husband, father and friend.
Our family includes our two sweet Newfoundland dogs, Katie and Louie. Newfoundlands are working dogs, so we make sure our two always have a job to do. Katie and Louie are both certified therapy dogs and bring lots of joy to people who are in need of some Newfie love. They have also competed in Rally Obedience. Katie has earned a Rally Advanced title and Louie has earned a Rally Excellent title. In keeping with Newf tradition, Katie has become a proficient draft dog while Louie prefers practicing water rescue whenever he gets an opportunity. They are also both protectors of their little sister, Natalie.
