Meet Baby Bella! When our old girl Bella passed away in May, we hoped to get another redbone coonhound at some point. Well, we found a three month old puppy within driving distance and made the trip on Saturday to bring her home. So far she’s full of energy and very sweet, but we forgot how sharp puppy teeth can be! Hopefully she can live up to the name Bella because Jonathan refuses to call her anything else.

Pray for this woman. In addition to dealing with her own ongoing struggles with autoimmune diseases and managing our son’s constant mental health issues, as of today she has also been married to me for 30 years, and that has to take a toll on a person.
