We are experiencing breeding for the first time. Bella, our female Maltese, gave birth to two girl puppies today (Nov. 7, 2009). One was born at 10:00 am and the other at 10:30. Unfortunately only one of the two survived. This is the one that survived. The children call her squeaks because of the little squeaky noises that she makes. It was a neat experience for the whole family to witness.
She is a tiny, little thing that can fit in the palm of your hand. I would say about 5 in. long and maybe a half a pound. Not quite a "pound puppy". Ha Ha!


Happy Birthday to our little princess. She turned 3 yesterday. It is hard to believe.
She had a Barbie cake. She LOVED it....she is 100 percent girl even with all these boys around.








On Saturday we went the the annual Firefighter's Ball. It was a great time. The food was good and we got to boogie it some out on the dance floor.

We had our family pictures taken this fall...and I think they turned out fabulous. (Thanks Karla!)


















Curtis decided to take a day of his 3 day break to go hunt for some moose. The area he went was about 20 miles away but still on base. He saw about 7 moose but they were all not huntable(if that is even correct terminology?!) But he got some great pictures. Better luck next week!
