As the boys share a rocking chair, they stare at the dog in the backyard perhaps wondering what mischief they might get into if only the two of them could manage to get out side or perhaps get the dog in. All else appears to have been forgotten as they consider what next. … (9 comments)
I was out showing homes today (yes today), and I had to stop and be glad for the camera I always carry with me. All of this rain we've had the past couple of weeks has created so much snow and beautiful photo opportunities. … (27 comments)
We were out Christmas tree hunting and our little one went off and found one just his size which he carted back to us with a hopeful look in his face. It was very tempting to add a second Christmas tree to our household just for him. … (19 comments)

He is looking forward to the next couple of weeks and all of the celebration and joy that comes with this time of year.
I have a feeling I'm going to wind up writing a post around the feelings this photo invokes, but in the meantime I wanted to share it as it just makes me smile each time I look at our new puppy as I hope it will do for you. … (14 comments)
Tonight the kids were looking forward to dressing up for Halloween. Who am I kidding, I love the excuse to dress up too! Then out and about the neighborhood for trick or treat and gathering more candy than anybody should eat in a month.

I offered to help my little one feed the animals today at the petting zoo, but after observing how I opened my hand palm out to feed them, he informed me he could do it himself and didn't need any help. By the look of it, he was right.
The boys were playing a game of expressing their emotions. The little one was game to try but having a little trouble with the concept. What do you think? Did he cut the mustard? Was he able to convey his emotions? What expression did he convey to you? … (13 comments)
