Welcome to the USA!

Tanner came home with three of his daughters from Europe: Fiona from France, Landon from Estonia & Liina from Finland.
They jumped out of the crate after crossing the Atlantic Ocean like they had just traveled down the street to the market. They have taken over. We love them!

French Connection du Hameau des Baronnies aka FIONA came to live with us,
Ridon Hennet Highland Park aka LANDON went to our dear friends Christine & Michael at Blue Moon Bernese in Boulder CO, and Funatic Nuthin' But Fun aka LIINA lives with the Stallard family in Richmond VA.
We are eager see these girls to grow!
