Happiness is a big stick

It's almost legal for Nicky to be on the beach again. We cheated by a few days. Leo still likes to pretend to dig like Nicky -- some things never change.

Trip Highlights

Taking Nicky for walks in the woods


Putting in the last piece of the puzzle


Visting the old steam engine (see here for the same photo two years ago)


Enjoying the world's best chocolate milk

Vermont 2007

Nicky especially enjoyed the drive to Vermont this year.


Leo got to feed a real kid at Shelburne Farm.


We spent lots of time watching the three-day-old piglets and rooting for the runt to latch on.


Leo can now climb on tractors all by himself.

Happy Birthday Nicky!

She got a new kerchief, a ball...


...a kiss from Cousin Finn...


...and a two-bite birthday cake!

"English springer spaniel becomes top dog"

Well, we already knew that, but the Westminster Kennel Club just saw the light. Check out these adorable photos of James, the Springer that won "Best in Show". There's also a cute story on NPR.

Two dogs at the beach

  

Quiet amidst the Chaos

A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down. --Robert Benchley 

Goodbye two...

A nice warm day at the beach today
