unfortunately we don’t have any pics from the good times we had with kit and jakki, but the good times, they did happen. 🙂
we hope everybody’s stayin’ cool. colorado is in the middle of a heat wave right now, so i think this weekend’s pug meetup is off the agenda.
anybody want to donate a jacuzzi? 😉
yes, we do more than take cute pictures of the little fellow, but you’d probably rather look at baby photos than than hear tell of our (boring) events. 🙂
asleep in the peanut shell:
late night reading:
wait dad, one more page:
like scarface with a fine cigar, arthur, too, enjoys a fine bath, but with a binky:
in other news, we’re getting more company this weekend and we look forward to introducing them to the world of stinky diapers, projectile spit-up and inconsolable crying. 🙂
it’s hot. really hot. i’m already fantasizing about fall already.
in other news, arthur had his 4 month doctor’s visit yesterday! 😀 he weighs 15.5 pounds and is 25 inches long! 🙂 poor little fellow also recieved 4 vaccinations and a fifth one by mouth. he had a snoopy bandage on each chubby little leg, and he slept most of the afternoon and evening away. but he did stay awake long enough to help me bake some herbed olive oil bread and a peach nectarine berry galette!
see the flour on his face?
the pups also helped by “cleaning” up the bowl that had the fruit in it. 🙂 leia takes her job as dishwasher very seriously.
now that arthur can hold his head up by himself, we got him a little jumparoo to play in. if you click on the picture, it’ll direct you to the general album. the one with all the new pics is labeled ‘july’. 😀
what have we been up to lately? not much! 🙂
eric’s been pulling weeds, the pups have been sleeping, arthur’s growing, and i’m washing bottles all the time! 😀 well, there’s a bit more to things than that, but that’s the short story.
all of eric’s hard work in the garden is starting to pay off…i’ve started using some of the herbs that are flourishing. the dill makes great potato salad and the mint makes tasty cool mint tea.
the pups are certainly doing more than sleeping and getting into trouble. they help me mow the lawn every sunday morning and leia likes to assist eric in weeding and watering.
and yes, i wash bottles a lot. we also decided to cancel the diaper service, mainly due to the fact that it was a bit expensive once all of our gift certificates ran out. 😉 but it was great to have while arthur was going through 80 diapers a week! now that things are more manageable, i’ve been able to keep him cloth diapers by washing them at home. it’s affordable and easy and arthur’s happy, so i’m happy. 🙂
oh! we’ve had visitors, too! eric’s mom came out this past weekend to spend some quality time with arthur and us! 🙂 we’re also hoping to get more guests this month and next, too.
anyhoo, i’m going to go play with the little fellow in his play gym. there is a new album with cute arthur pics here….under “misc june” i think.
Today marks the three-year anniversary of our blog! :) Our first post was on July 3, 2005. We started the blog to be a way for people to track our progress on our big roadtrip from California to New York City.
Since then, we spent 18 very fun months in New York, although NYC proved to be a pretty expensive place to live, and not really a place we wanted to start a family, so in December 2006, we took another big roadtrip from New York to Boulder, Colorado where we still are today.
Other major events include buying a house, getting a second dog (Leia), and finally having our first baby!
Hope to see you around in another 3 years. ttfn.
