As a family, we are all involved in many school and community activities so you will see us around. In addition to our children, we also have our fur baby, a chocolate lab, named Puddy Pop, who is often with us and like most labs, is very friendly and loves when people greet. You may see me walking her around one of our local neighborhoods.
