sweet memory

Patrick and I searched through old emails to find this picture.  Almost three years ago, a lady from  Munfordville, Kentucky sent us 5 pictures of dark golden retriever puppies.  All of the puppies were adorable, but I knew this one was ours...

...because her paws were crossed so sweetly.  To this day, Vali still lounges with her paws crossed, reminding us of her very first photograph :)
