Sam, Veronica, and their Dogs

Kevin brought the kids to the lake on Saturday while Amy was working. It was a rainy day, so we had to do inside activities. We did a lot of coloring and playing with toys, but then the kids thought the dogs needed to be walked. They got out all the leashes and trucked them around the house and tied them to doors while they went to get other toys. The dogs were great with their activies, but I got the evil eye from them every time they walked past me. They were sure tired after all their "kid" activities. Thanks Veronica and Sam! They have surely come a long way from a year ago when they would stand on the couch and scream when any dog got near them.

NOVEMBER

These pictures depict a typical rainy November day in New England. It's such a cloudy, dark month and I can't wait 'til we can have blue skies again.... even if it's cold and snowy. Bring on December.... :)

Kyra's New Present

Here's Kyra's new dish holder that Pop Pop made for her. We only had three of them at camp, so she had to have her dish on the floor for a while (she didn't really seem to mind as long as it had food in it). This one puts our others to shame, so I think that Pop Pop will need to make three more so the others won't feel left out :)

Puppy Pics

Here are a few cute pictures of Nancy's new puppy "Spirit". He won Best of Breed Puppy at the show on Sunday and thought that he needed his own chair to watch the rest of the action. Lee would have easily taken him home were he available :) (JK)

Thanksgiving Dinner Anyone???

Look who dropped in on us as we collected all the leaves at Mom's house. They didn't seem to be phased in the least with the leaf blower, rakes or people. I can see them on someone's Thanksgiving dinner table now.... YUM!!

AUTUMN LEAVES

Well, we thought we cleaned up the lawn and it looked magnificent. Then all the oak trees decided it was time to dump all their leaves. Oh well... get out the leaf vacuum again. With the rest of our weekend spoken for until December, we hope that we can collect these before the snow falls.
