New Year, swimming lessons, and a new puppy!

We've had quite a 2013 so far.  We had a rockin party on New Years Eve!

Cheers!

Just a little confetti 

Brodie has been taking swimming lessons this week at the YMCA.  He is doing great.  At the beginning of the first day, he didn't want to put his head under and by the end he was repeatedly putting it under.  He is swimming by himself with a noodle and does cannon balls into the pool (with a life jacket on).  He loves it.  I just need to remember to bring my camera now that he is getting more confident.

Brodie got to ride in the boat for trying something new

AND...we got a new puppy yesterday.  We've been talking about getting a puppy since we moved here.  We've visited the humane society a few times, but really thought we would wait until the spring to get one.  Well yesterday, we saw a puppy we just could not resist and ended up with Simba.  He is a great puppy so far and so good with the boys.  He is only 8 weeks old and we hear that your angel puppies go through the terrible 2's at around 12 weeks....so we will see.
