Our Thanksgiving guestlist…

… included these two guys! They’re our niece’s (Hi Kate!) dachshunds, Austin and George.

I’ve known Austin since he was a tiny little furball puppy- he’s actually nephew to our Elwood- and the genetic link is obvious, as they are both total weirdos.

George was a rescue pup- but, seriously- who WOULDN’T love this dog? He is such a spunky little guy- so sweet and 99% good (which is pretty much 98% more than most dachshunds). We keep trying to trade a few of ours for him… but, his mama is too smart to let that happen.

And while we all enjoyed having them (and especially Kate ), I’m pretty sure our old fart dogs were exhausted just from watching them run around. It’s never more apparent that Geisha, Jake, Woody, Lynx and Leo aren’t puppies anymore- than when we have young dogs in the house!

Phew. Until next time, boys! I’ll work on my throwing arm.

Day 99

Woooooosh. There it went! The time between Gwen having enough hair to justify hair accessories (okay, barely)… and between her figuring out how to take them off. Darnit.

On another note, doesn’t she look smashing in her new polka-dotted bow-tie?

Day 97

Pureed sweet potatoes. They really don’t taste much like anything. Her responses ranged from this uncertainty- to massive smiles- to big fat tears. I’ll average them all to a “meh”, which is about right. Sweet potatoes are just not that … Continue reading →

Day 95

It’s hard to believe that the tiny little newborn we brought home 6 months ago, has grown into such a beautiful big girl! It’s so true what “they” say- time absolutely FLIES when kids enter the picture. And I swear it’s even faster this time around. I can’t believe she’s six months old- really, it was just YESTERDAY that I was feeling her dance around in my belly! :::sign:::

Day 94

Chris — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:53:43 +0000

Happy first Easter, Gwen- happy third, Gabe! What a fun morning. Gabe had some window markers in his Easter basket, and Gwen sat on his bed and watched him draw on his window. Is that a look of adoration, or … Continue reading →

Day 90

I’ll never ever get enough of this smile.

Day 89

“Oooh, smells so pretty, mom!”

Heheh. No it doesn’t- it’s a scentless weed. But, he’s awfully cute.

Day 88

Chris — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:11:07 +0000

Gabe was not the drooliest baby. He really never needed a bib except for mealtime (and seriously, we could still use one some days- applesauce comes out easily, thank goodness). Sweet Gwen, though- she’s got some major drool-age happening. Gabe popped his two bottom teeth around this age, so maybe she’s working on some! Until then, we will keep searching for new and different teething toys for her to soak.

Day 82

Good-bye newborn tub. We’ll never use you again- sob! But, it was fun welcoming the Duck Tub
back into the kids’ bath. Quackquackquackquackquackquack.

Day 79

Yes, she sure is lovable.
