Introducing The Baby

I can give you a hundred reasons for my hiatus from blogging over the past couple of weeks, none of which will satisfy my loyal readers, however. Thank you for hanging in there with me. It occurs to me that some additional regular features might be a way to manage my blog content a bit better - gotta have a system, you know! So, it is time to launch the Nikki-Watch!

Nikki is the youngest member of my family, having just turned ONE! She is an American Boxer according to her papers, but we are quite certain she is part human. Her full name is Nikita Latifah Guadalupe, courtesy of my teenage daughter, Taylor Ann. Here is the first picture of Nikki that we ever saw, courtesy of the breeder's ad on the Internet, which was the impetus for us to hop in the car and go get her:

I will post additional photos of Nikki from time to time, chronicling her life with us at the Foster household. You will be able to click on the "Nikki-Watch" label for postings and get all those related to Nikki at the same time.

I'll catch up with you all again soon.
