Our newest addition

Yep, that's right, we've got a new baby and no, i'm not pg (well, not yet at least). I'm now the mommy to a cute little long-haired hampster named Gertrude or Gertie if you will. I wanted to name her Big Bertha, but Ty put the nix on that one. So the boys have been bugging me about getting them a dog, but this momma isn't having any more four-legged creatures running around shedding and destroying my house, so this was the next best thing.

Gertie, we found out, is a little skiddish. I tried to put her in her run around ball today and she leaped out of my loving hands four different times. We'll have to work on that. The boys did think it was awefully funny to see mom squirm and scream every time Gertie tried to bite me though. At least i'm good for entertainment.
