So, after a last minute decision, Kevin and I decided to buy a new puppy!

We decided to get another puppy, in part, to keep our dog Hoeffer company. While I am deployed, Hoeffer would have been quite lonely so we got him a friend. He is a Havanese (just like our dog Hoeffer) which means he is hypoallergenic and doesn't shed. So our house doesn't always smell like dog!

His name is Lewis. Let me explain the name: Hoeffer is named after
Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This is a tradition that started with my
stepmom, Jill, and my Dad naming their Havanese Ravi, after
Ravi Zacharias, who is a relatively well known Pastor. Then my sister,
Heather, got a Havanese named Piper after
John Piper, another famous Pastor. So Kevin and I wanted to continue the tradition and name our dog after famous pastor's we respected and at the time we got Hoeffer, Kevin had just finished listening to the audio book of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's biography.

When it came to picking Lewis' name we went through a lot of options. Eventually we picked Lewis because of
C.S. Lewis, who, aside from writing The Chronicles of Narnia, wrote some of the best works on God, Jesus Christ and the Bible.

So there it is. I will add a picture of all of us soon!
