This is our guinea pig, Chawlie! We named him after the famous "Charlie bit me" video on youtube. As we were driving home from PetSmart that day, we knew we needed a name for this furry new friend of ours. I had him on my lap and after a few minutes I felt something rather warm on my leg. Yep, he had peed all the way down my leg. I immediately came up with the name Willy. As in, "Will he" pee on me again before we get home!? Then, as I was patting myself down with napkins..... he bit me. Out of no where I shouted, "Chawlie bit my finger!" and that's how Chawlie got his name! The kids love him and.... I kinda do too!


This was Addyson on New Years Eve. She went from happy to grumpy in 2 seconds. One thing about Addy is when she gets tired, she'll let you know! Addy is a lot like me when I was younger. I would always ask my parents, "What time is my bedtime?" They would reply with, "When do you want it to be?" knowing I would say, "Now." Addy does this every night. I try to get her to stay awake until 8:30 but she usually asks to go to bed around 8.
