Saturday was another hot one, but not quite as bad as the day before.  It once again began with early Jasper snuggles in bed, but Don decided to take them for an early morning walk and romp before it got…Read more

Friday began with Jasper's new sunup routine – although he was a little less excitable this morning, so we were able to get a bit more sleep.

Slowly catching up...

We'd used the heat wave as an excuse to run the air conditioner overnight – hoping it would drown out the early sounds of screaming children, and hopefully keep the dogs asleep a little longer.  Well, it…Read more

It was a rainy day...  but we didn't mind a bit!  That's what covered porches are for, after all.  After a morning spent with books and view, Alyssa ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SURPRISE Don with his anniversary present (it's been a…Read more

So, where were we... ah yes, the disappointment that we couldn't do a…Read more

Hello, everyone!

First of all, let us apologize for yesterday's posting – we didn't realize until this morning just how messed up it got.  The glitches have now been fixed (we hope!), and you can now see all the photos…Read more
