And Bunny Makes Seven

Behold the cuteness:

This is Pepper, small enough to perch in my cupped hand, but just big enough to warm our winter weary hearts and add an element of new energy to our home. 

I think she is a girl, but she is still too small for a novice like me to really be able to tell. 

I would like to tell you that I felt badly for our kids, who have been sick nearly every week since September, and so I brought them a bunny to cheer them up.


And while they are visibly cheered by Pepper’s presence, the truth is that I was the one who needed cheering.  After a year of losing people and pets that I loved, I wanted to start 2009 out on happier footing. 

And Brendan likes her, too.
