Catfish Love Hot Dogs

My Dad Went to the Philippines ...

and all he got me* was this HYSTERICAL pen toy thing whose head pops off!






*OK, he brought me some other things too - but this is my fav!

Puppy's Big Day

This is puppy.


Today, puppy went for a walk ...


climbed the jungle gym ...


rode in the big swing ...


and went down the slide.


Whew.

Puppy is tired.

Missing Cee-Cee (Part II)

Once Cee-Cee left, Owen and I knew we had to stay busy to fend off our sadness. So we ventured to our local Humane Society (and Beamer's former residence) to drop off a donation of old towels and food bowls, scouted out a new playground that we are going to try out tomorrow, then ducked into the supermarket for more chocolate soy milk.

After lunch at home we headed outside to enjoy this glorious weather - bubbles, car rides and laughter.




Then back inside to make a calendar so we can count down the days until C comes home again!



As you can see from Owen's arms, he's come a long way since the days when he came running to me in tears to wipe the stamp off his hand after Tumblekicks!

Not Goodbye, Just See You Later

We're a little (well, no, more like a lot) sad today ... Cearra left to drive to Virginia Beach to stay with her mom for the rest of the summer. Lucky for us, she'll be back for the Mechem family reunion in a few weeks, then her and Owen's birthday party, then my family vacation.

But boy, we are going to miss her until then.
