Meet Charlee


Check out this cutie!  His personality is even cter than his face =)  Jaden and Morgan are infatuated with him.  We got him on Saturday, and they have been spoiling him ever since!!!  He is a Chorkie (a Yorkshire Terrier mixed with Chijuajua).  He may get to about 8 to 10 pounds which is perfect for us.  He doesn't eat much and he is full of energy.  We named him Charlee from one of the girls' favorite t.v. shows "Good Luck, Charlie".

A Trip to Paris

We took a trip to Paris.  On the road trip, we discussed French words: Merci, De rien, Je t'aime, Bon jour, and Adieu. When we arrived in Paris, nobody was near the Eiffel Tower, so we had it all to ourselves.  Unfortunately, climbing was not allowed, but the girls sure wanted to!! 

After visiting the tower, we went to eat hors-d'oeuvres at a local restaurant.  Jaden was trying to pick up on some of the language that she heard the restaurant workers speaking.  Then, she asked me, "Can I tell them 'Bon jour'?"  To which I said, "They are speaking Spanish not French."  We did not find a single French-speaking person in Paris, Texas.  Oh, well, at least we still got to see the Eiffel Tower, even if it did have a cowboy hat on top!
