The Newest Member of the Family

Published by The Leakey Family under on Saturday, October 03, 2009
Welcome Biscuit! On Wednesday we officially adopted Biscuit into our family. She was being fostered by a British family in town who would have loved to have kept her for themselves but they already have 5 dogs so it was not much of an option for them. I'm not much of a dog person myself, but Dan has been wanting a dog for some time now. After meeting her, we both fell in love with her & decided to make her our first family dog. She's a very sweet 6 month old Australian Shepherd. She has one blue eye & one brown eye. She's very calm & well behaved, especially for a puppy. And surprisingly quiet!! Here are a few pics. Enjoy!!!




August 13, 2009- Anna's 2nd Birthday

Published by The Leakey Family under on Saturday, September 26, 2009
I can't believe my sweet, baby girl is 2! She is growing up so fast!! Anna is very energetic, loves to climb, read, & play with her kitty cat Smudge. She is talking so much now. Although we can't always understand what she's saying, she certainly does! But everyday I feel like she's getting clearer & clearer. One of her favorite show is The Backyardigans. We have a couple of the books & she can point & name every character all on her own.

Here are some pics from her special day.

Opening a present!

Her new favorite book Little Einsteins! She calls them Geins....so cute!

Playing with Mega Blocks from Grandma. Thanks Grandma!!

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged so I guess I have some catching up to do....so here we go! In July Anna & I took a trip to Ohio to visit family. So here are a few pics from our trip!

Visiting Uncle Brent & Aunt Mary's farm.

Just A Few Pics

Just a few fun pics of my sweet Anna! She is growing up so fast, I can't seem to slow her down. She is talking so much now & definitely getting into her terrible two's :) But overall, she is a delight & I love being able to stay at home with her. What a blessing!



What You Can Do With A Kitty Bed!

Published by The Leakey Family under on Sunday, May 10, 2009
This past week I finally started packing as we are moving in just a couple of weeks! As I was going through stuff in our closet I came across Smudge's kitty bed. She hasn't used it since she was a kitten. Anna wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but then discovered that she can do all sorts :) I love when her little creative minds comes alive.




Dedication

Published by The Leakey Family under on Monday, May 04, 2009
Sunday our church held their baby & child dedication. There were 11 families dedicating their kids! It was really special & it really made Dan & I realize just how important it is to raise your children in a godly home. It is our job to be their role models & to teach them about Jesus. Anna is such a blessing to us & we thank God every single days for our beautiful, healthy little girl.
