Our beautiful circus

Cooper
Asher

Jacob & Scout

Well, it seems as though everyone and their dog has a blog these days. So, I've decided to create one detailing the life and times of the circus that pervades our family. And with two dogs and two kids, it is very much a circus here in the Cowell household.

As introductions go, our firstborn was Scout, a Yorkshire Terrier. He's a sweet little guy who has had his share of health problems over the years but has provided us with lots of joy. He used to be about 2.5 pounds but has recently crept up to about 4.5 pounds (with the arrival of Cooper) and has become quite bitter about the newest additions to our family.

Jacob arrived next. He's two and a half now and such a little man. He loves any and all trucks, cars, trains, puzzles, Diego, and his new sand and water table. He is super smart and inquisitive and makes us laugh everyday.

Then about six months ago, we adopted Cooper from the Humane Society. Someone had given him up and I just couldn't pass up that sweet face knowing that we could provide him a nice yard in which to chase squirrels and birds. He adjusted quickly to our routine. He loves all children and is very protective and sweet. Except to his brother, Scout, whom he enjoys taunting and antagonizing, constantly.

Our newest addition is Asher. Or as Jacob calls him, "Baby Asher Samuel Cowell." He is six weeks old now. He was a big boy at birth, weighing in at 8 pounds, 9 ounces. He's a cutie, of course, but still hasn't been educated on the importance of sleep. We're anxiously awaiting when he sleeps through the night -- or at least for several consecutive hours!

So, that's our story. We'll update periodically when milestones occur or when we just get some cute pictures to share. Hope you'll check back often.
