1st Day of School

School started on Monday. The girls were all ready and excited to go back and see all their friends. Sophie is now a big kindergartner and mommy is home all alone (token sad face followed by a big smile) . Here are a few pictures of the big day.

Gotta get a picture of the new school shoes...

Ready to go.

Big sisters pose again with Sophie

Sophie gets to write her name on the white board.

Eliza is ready for 4th grade.


Hannah, a 6th grader, and smiling even though she claims to be the
ONLY girl without a cell phone.

Then mom and dad went home all alone...

We need a bigger couch

We now have TWO dogs. Yes really. We have TWO dogs that hog our couch. We added Figaro to our family a few weeks ago and he is great dog. We are all in love with him already. We thought Ashes was lonely so when we had to board Ashes while we were up visiting Family in No Cal we mentioned getting another dog. This was the same place we got Ashes and guess what... they happened to have Figaro who was looking for a new home. He is another whippet, 7 1/2 years old and a retired champion racer. Here are a few pictures of him.

Here is a picture of Figaro racing. He's the one out in front.
