New member of the family

On Sunday we brought home a puppy! Nick and I have wanted a dog since we got married and have been talking about it a lot lately, and finally we decided that now would be a good time. (Get him potty trained before the new baby comes.)
Its all a little bit crazy, two small children, one on the way, two cats, and now a puppy. Wow! we are nuts, but we love it.
His name is Shadow, he is an all black Cocker Spaniel. Born on December 14, so he is three and a half months old. We took him to the vet and he is very healthy. Surprizingly we know more about taking care of a puppy then we thought. It turns out its a lot like having another kid. But I am happy to report that he is sleeping through the night. (what a relief)
Sasha is having a blast with him. She is really good at helping to use up his energy before we put him to bed. MacKenzie still doesn't know what to think of him yet. Its like she gets nervous and excited all at the same time when he is by her.
As for pictures.... I dont have a good one to put up yet because he is all black and i am having a hard time getting one to come out clear. I will try some outside in our green grass today and maybe that will work.
Its my first dog ever so this has been a very fun adventure.
