It's beautiful outside!


Today Penny Lane had a check up at the vet to receive some booster shots. She now weighs 28.5 pounds. She has all her adult teeth in the front and lost one of her baby canines. She also has grown a new adult coat of fur. She's looking more like a grown up doggy than a puppy! :(

After her appointment we took Penny and the kids to Barton Springs Pool in Austin. It's a natural fed spring pool and it's run off pours down into this river which flows to Lady Bird Lake. In this area people bring their dogs to swim and play fetch in the river. Penny liked the water but we couldn't get her all the way in to swim like the other dogs.

The kids really had a great time. Madeline went all the way across the river with her Daddy, she was very proud of herself. James kept busy being a typical boy, collecting rocks and throwing them in the water.

It was beautiful outside, mid 80's, a little overcast. Perfect river weather!

Can you say 'wet dog'? :)


The lawns here in TX are now requiring watering and turning nice and green. So the kids are taking advantage when the sprinklers come on. Here's Madeline running through our front lawn.

James has no interest in the sprinklers, just blowing his broken whistle.

Penny very curious of the pop up sprinklers, she started biting at them. :)

Ah to be a kid again. :)

Looks like a great day. What a beautiful spot to take a swim, I love rivers! BTW, did you sell the Yukon this past weekend?

I would like some 80's up here! Wait on second thought maybe not, I die when its in the 70's here... So after I have the baby i'd like the 80's! Those pictures were great! My favorite was James blowing his broken whistle. So cute!
