In the wee hours of July 1st, we welcomed a new blessing into our family. Our Little Explorer is finally here!
Elaina is happy, healthy, and she’s by far the cutest puppy we’ve ever laid eyes on!
Love, love, love this little gal…

Melvin has taken quite a shining to her, too! ![]()

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. -Numbers 6:24-26

Congratulations! Such a wide-eyed and wise expression on her and the hair is too cute
You must be head-over-heels in love with her!
Yay!! A two legged puppy for the team! She is just beautiful. I hope Mom is doing well. We have been thinking of you and praying for you. Just last night we were talking about this little one and hoping she was here! Yipee! May God bless her with a long and happy, healthy, prosperous life.
Kisses,
Emma Rose and the Duchess
This is going to be one intelligent, tough and adventurous girl. She has an incredible advantage by being born to these particular parents. Hope all is well, you’re getting enough sleep somehow and I am so happy for you!!
As an update, Tip and I are going on a trek to Pakistan to base camps including K2 in August.
Take Care,
Carolyn Schlcik

I am so happy for you both!
