Guilty as Charged

The main problem with having white fur is it's hard to keep clean.....it's also very hard to deny when you've been busted for playing in the mud....


 Mud? What mud? I wouldn't dare chew on a muddy stick.....

That's weird since you have a brown beard...

Just like when Amelia told me she didn't eat any Oreos....someone tell this puppy this isn't my first rodeo...

Sunny Days

After 40 days and 40 nights of rain, it was a blessing to have a few sunny days come our way. It seemed like the perfect time to try out my new hammock....if only the kids would let me have a turn....

Ten

My little baby girl turned 10 years old yesterday.  Being her dad has been one of the great pleasures of my life.  If you get the chance to have a conversation with her, you'll see she's one of the smartest, funniest, and caring people you'll ever meet.  She's a better daughter than I deserve, a better person than I could have imagined,  and I couldn't be more grateful to get the chance to be a part of her  beautiful ride through this life. 

Cutting It Close

Somebody got their first fur-cut.  She wanted a mohawk, but we decided against it...

The Family that Reads Together

We have implemented a 20-minute nightly family pajama reading time.  It isn't homework. You can read anything you want. The key is we're spending time together, not looking at screens, calming down before bedtime, and maybe even learning something.

Just a Taste

We've done a pretty good job at not feeding Olive human food so far, but it is haaaard to say no to this face....

Down Again

The rough patch continues.  Amelia got hit with strep throat. I couldn't believe it because I checked her the other day and her mouth looked totally normal...

My Valentines

Is there a better way to spend Valentine's night than watching TV with these two lovely ladies? I certainly can't think of one

Plus One

Given our past experiences with Teddy, who bit us too many times, and Tucker, who bit other people too many times, we've been hesitant to share some news. After keeping it to ourselves for the past 7 weeks, I suppose it's time to announce a new addition to our family.  Meet Olive, a little bundle of fur and snuggles that has stolen our hearts...

 

Pick Me Up

A late night at work, a trip to a comedy show, and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa put a temporary hold on the blog posts.  That said, we're back and ready to roll....just like Everett after his morning coffee....

The first sip really kick starts his day...

His sophisticated man look....

Powers

I think it is safe to say Everett's super power is not the ability to keep his sensitive eyes open on days where the sun is out in any capacity....

Party of One

On the downside, I've had a stomach bug this weekend.  On the farther down side, Meggan put me in quarantine, so my Superbowl party was a party of one. Oh well, at least nobody was talking over the commercials....or busted me watching the Puppy Bowl.
