The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Almost the First Time
7 April 2011
I just uncovered this little piece of history. :) It's not the first time we were all five together, but it's the first time on video! As you know, I was present at Pup's birth. The rest of the family met him the night before this video was shot, but no one get film of that (the picture with Punk pulling Pup's hair actually is from that first night). This was taken the day we took Pup home, before we signed reams of paperwork (how many trees are sacrificed for each adoption, I wonder...). So, it's a smidge lackluster, but still worth the few seconds it takes to view it. At least I think so. But I may be partial.

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
