Our new addition....

Introducing Lucky, our new puppy....
 
He's a cute 7 week old Lab. Nathan is completely in love with him...
and has already claimed Lucky as his own. 
Audrey on the other hand isn't quite warmed up to him yet. 
She likes him when someone else is holding him and he's not trying to play with her and when he's sleeping. Then she'll get close enough to pet him. 
We've been talking about getting the kids a puppy sometime this spring and while driving back home from getting Chris and Nathan haircuts we stopped to check out what kind of puppies someone had over in the Walmart parking lot. Usually they end up being pitbulls and we didn't want one of those, but this must have been our lucky day because she had these cute labs. She was trying to get them sold so they were half price and we decided to go ahead and get one. (We thought about getting 2 so he had someone to play with, that thought lasted only a few seconds, I'm glad we've only got one, who knew he'd be so much work). 
Chris went in to get some cash and then we let Nathan give the lady the money for him and we brought him home. Within just a few minutes Nathan was calling him "my dog". 
We let Nathan decided on what to name him. He couldn't think of any names so he chose between Charlie and Lucky and Lucky won. I thought the name was cute since it was "lucky" we stopped to check out the puppies and also since he'll kinda be Nathan's dog and his birthday is coming up in a couple weeks on St. Patrick's day.
