Meet the Family

For those of you who haven't met the other members of our family, I would like to introduce you to our dog, Layla. We rescued Layla about two and half years ago. She is not a huge fan of men (right, Martin?) but she is really sweet.

In case you are wondering, that is fear in her eyes. She is not only afraid of Martin but she is also afraid of thunder, Dallas Cowboy football games and cell phones. And, yes that is one of my shoes laying in the floor and Marisa's stuffed animal behind her. I never claimed to be neat.

So it's blurry but here she is again. Anna and Marisa like to "tuck her in" for her naps.

The other member of family is our cat, Talem. Talem has been with us one year this October. He is Martin's only son and the girls say that he's Martin's favorite child. He is very sweet but I find him to be pretty annoying. Love ya T!

Some might say this is not a very good picture. Well, here's the truth. He was an adorable kitten and then he grew into...........well............not so adorable. Anyone seen Tommy Boy? Our dear Talem is a fat guy with a tiny head. Not just that, he can't take a good picture to save his life. We have tried. Repeatedly. Finally, we had to admit it's not the camera or the photographer, he just is indeed ugly. We love him anyway.
