Kitchen: Mar 12

We're getting close! There are still a long list of little things left to do, but the light is at the end of the tunnel.

Middleburg, VA

York and his mom invited Trooper to go swimming at the equine center in Middleburg, VA. It was a beautiful, warm day for a road trip. Trooper and York had a great time swimming. Trooper met a new lady, a black lab named Freedom. It was a great time.

Everybody wants to sit by me

Trooper and I were sitting on the futon in the office. It is the only piece of furniture on which the dogs are allowed sit (or lie, as the case may be). Jake decided *he* wanted to sit by me, and the only available spot was taken. That didn't stop him; he just decided to sit on top of Trooper.

Kitchen: Jan 29

We have been 'camping' at our house. The food is in the garage, the microwave is on the dryer, and the toaster is on top of the microwave. It's not a fun way to live, but I'm sure it will be well worth it when the kitchen is complete!

As promised, here are some photos of the renovation in progress:

Experiencing Technical Difficulties

I've been wanting to post pictures of our ongoing, exciting, and highly inconvenient kitchen remodel, but alas, my computer is giving me fits. It is clearly possessed by demons. Once I get my camera talking to my computer, we'll be back in business.

I need to research cameras this weekend. Our current one is sooooo 2001.

Oh NO!

Jake ate the TIVO remote. I love him dearly, but can't he find something less important to me to chew up?! R has already ordered a replacement, so I only have to do without for a few days!

Family Visit in Georgia

It was wonderful for the entire family to be together!

Time for some variety?

Looking over my few posts, it occurs to me that they are mainly about the dogs. I'll try to mix it up with some pictures from trips and the house soon!

You've come a long way, baby!

After 8 months of trying different foods, adding special powders to food, and racking up vet bills, our sweet Jake is finally looking much healthier. It makes us so happy to see him filling out. As he's part hound, he'll probably always be a bit on the slim side, but he is so much healthier!

Obsess much?


We've been looking for the right paint colors for the living room and dining room.

The good news is that we picked, and they are going up on the wall as I write!

Jake's First Swimming Trip

Jake seemed to be more in touch with his inner Hound than his inner Retriever when we took him swimming. Despite Trooper showing him how it is done, Jake was happier out of the water. Perhaps he will like swimming when the water is warmer.
