Banks



We have a new member to our family, formally known as "Mr. Banks." We are calling him Banks. Most of y'all know that the girls love the movie, "Mary Poppins," and we named the dog after the Banks family that she comes to live with on the movie. The girls have been praying for a dog (literally...every night!) for a while, but we hadn't made a decision on what kind or when we would get one. Yesterday, totally out of the blue, we saw an ad in the paper for Cairn Terrier puppies(the "toto" dog from the Wizard of Oz). We decided to call and find out about them......a few hours later we were on our way to Eufaula to get one. We hardly ever do things on the fly, so this was WAY out of character for us! When Allyn told the girls we were going to get a puppy to come home and live with us, they were beside themselves. Ella even jumped up into Allyn's arms and said "thank you so much daddy." Well, we were locked in for sure at that point. Little Banks has been a very sweet addition to our family, and the girls absolutely adore him. Here are a few pictures of the little guy:)
