Padme

Padme Boxy Batcheller is the absolute best dog ever. She had some special moments of cuteness this week so I've decided to publish them.

Loves: Lily, being petted, sleeping, snuggling, playing, running sprints in the backyard, and her best friend Harley (a Rottweiller)

The Stairs Chronicles

Two months after her first small leg raisings, she makes it up two steps before her mother whisks her off the stairs! See the progression (really quite entertaining)... Also new this week - "ba ba ba" and several other consonant/ "ah" combinations!

The Stair Chronicles

Happy New Year!

I woke up this January 1, with this view outside my kitchen window, and thought of this verse in Lamentations. Snow is such a great reminder of newness and purity! Thank the Lord that His mercies are new and perfect every morning, every week, every month, and every year! I thought this was an excellent reminder from the Lord as we remember the past year and begin anew.

"I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.

I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

--Lamentations 3:19-23
