Alright readers! 
Heres the deal for the rest of the week be posting pictures of the things you find your thankful for. 
To play along and have a chance to be shown in the weekly recap you need to play along. 
How to play: download the picture you see below (right click to save to your computer, or save image or screenshot on your phone), post it on Instagram to get started! Then when you post your thankful picture each day, simply tag it with #KTAthankful and @gracielathrop so we can see! Each friday I will go through all of the posts from the week and share my favorites!! 



Our Puppy!

This is baby puppy, Tepe. 
She is 9 weeks old. 
We got her two weeks ago from a shelter in Liberty, SC. 
She is an English Pointer/Lab mix and is so cute!! 

The name Tepe is short for her full name Ticuantepe, which is the town in Nicaragua where Reeds parents own a Pineapple farm. We shortened it to Tepe, which we pronounce as "Teppy". 

This is one of my favorite pictures of her. 
It was the first day we got her home :) 


I ordered Tepe some special collars from Etsy. 
They are BEAUTIFUL! 
Allyson from SophiesDogBoutique has so many different fabrics to choose from and can make them special for your precious puppy :) 


Go on over and check them out, she also makes leeshes and accessories too! 
Just tell her I sent you:)



I ordered 2 so Tepe could have choices!! 
But really, one is a medium and the other is a large. 
We aren't sure how big she will get so we needed options.


The blue is the large so she still has a good bit of growing before it will fit her. 


And Yes. I sat her on our island to take the pictures :) 
I wanted to light from the window... 


This one is my favorite! It is such a cool fabric, I would love to have some of it for myself :)
This one is also a little big but it will do for now. 
She is growing so fast I'm sure she will fit it in a few weeks.


And I just thought this picture was hilarious! Looks at her face!! 
She was just enjoying the yard and the sunshine :)
And she eats the grass every now and then. 


And ending, with this beauty!
I thought it was similar to the one in the bath tub but showed how much she has grown in the 2 weeks we have had her. 

So anyway, we love our Tepe and I wish she would stay little forever!
Right now she is sleepin in my lap with her head on the keyboard...
Its official, Reed and I got a puppy and our heart has melted. 
Now we are a real married couple :)
