The past couple of weeks have been very hectic but fun in the Hart household. Marco has a new baby sister who is 9 weeks old. Her name is "Mocha Chaca Latte" and we call her Chaca; she is the first puppy we have had in our home in over 29 years. As you all know, Marco is totally my baby and although he's very sweet with Rob and Papa, he's most definitely a "mommy cling-on".



That being said, a few months ago Rob told me he really missed having his own "buddy" that would go everywhere… Continue

For the last three weeks I have been fighting a good old fashioned case of "whooping cough" but am happy to report I finally feel healed. Leave it to me to catch something from the 1920's...hah!
