Speaking of Lucys ...

We just got a new puppy, who is now named Lucy.  My family loves talking to her and saying "hey, Luce" in their best Joe Jr voice.  She is a precious little thing.  She is a miniature schnauzer who is 7 weeks old, currently weighs 3.2lbs, and is adorable.  Well, I'm just a proud owner, so judge for yourself:

Oh, and if you ever find yourself bored during the day, try repeating the word "schnauzer" over and over.  "Shhhh-now-zuuuur"  It can be very entertaining to a sleep-deprived mom!
