now and then

Today’s photo assignment was “Now and Then”.  Last year we got our puppy Lily.  A few days later we had a freak snow storm since we rarely get snow in Texas and I snapped this fun pic of Lily playing in the snow.  This year, almost exactly one year later, we have another snow storm!  So I wanted to show how much Lily has grown over the past year.  She means a lot to our little family, and we sure love having her.  This summer we lost our beloved Java, whom we had for 13 years.  While Lily can’t replace Java, she has filled a hole in our hearts that Java left.
