Meet Memphis

The Slaton family is growing by one! Meet Memphis.
Formerly Parkway. Found on N. Parkway in Memphis by our neighbors. 

Last weekend Peter's folks heard that our neighbors were fostering a pup looking for a forever home.
A Lab, Great Dane, mutt pup. Just like Lily. Frankly, it was over before it began. 
Kathy named the pup Memphis before she'd even seen him.

After a short meet-and-greet with our pups on Tuesday, we knew this special guy was family.
A few phone calls, pictures, and videos later, it was a done deal.
And Aunt Lisa was headed back to Tennessee.

Friday, Memphis will head to Georgia to meet his family and explore his forever home.
We're so thankful for our kind neighbors and their hearts for dogs.
Who knows where Memphis would be had they not stopped their car to get him off of N. Parkway?

The Grands

Peter's folks came to visit last weekend. After an easy Friday night at home, we ventured out Saturday to the Memphis Botanic Garden. There are over twenty specialty gardens at the Memphis Botanic Garden so there is plenty of space to explore. 

Peter bummed a quarter from his dad in order to buy some fish food. The fish were desperate and overly aggressive for food hungry.

Cole got to snuggle with her grandparents a whole lot while they were here.

We saw this gal on the way out.  I don't think she'll be hungry for awhile. 

Cole is turning out to be quite the fan of accessories. She'll gladly wear a hat or sunglasses which is helpful. Since she likes to be outside.  As much as possible. 

When we got home, Cole cozied up next to her daddy and told us all fascinating stories.
