Today we achieved resolution on two issues that have been the topic of intense conversation over the last few weeks: what the girls will be in The Nutcracker, and what to name our new dog. Well, here are the answers!

First, the girls will be

SNOW ANGELS

in The Nutcracker! They are VERY excited. Lots of stage time and pretty costumes.

Second, our cute little beagle is now named

 LUCKY

because we are very lucky to have him! It also kind of sounds like Bunky so hopefully he won't be too confused. I called the vet and confirmed his appointment for Monday morning – they said, "Oh, for Dog Weiswasser?"

Big day here!!
