Our new Baby Boy!


This is Forrest. He is the newest addition to the family. He is a Harlequin Great Dane with bright blue eyes. Copper has warmed up to him really well, she lets him lay with her and gets excited to play when they are outside. He is 10 weeks old now. We got him when he was 8 weeks old. He has easily gained 6lbs since we have had him and is a riot when he gets to galloping and running around.

A & B in the North Country

Rock and I got to make a trip up to Canada to pick Alicia and Brady up in Montreal. Even though we were completely legal and had no plans of smuggling in illegal aliens, I was nervous pulling up to the border patrol, but no worries, we passed just fine. With our midwest accents I don't think they were too concerned.
We went on a really good hike. It was a good mile up, straight up, to a gorgeous view where we could see our very tiny car way down there. Huffing and puffing we made our way through the 4.5 mile hike which ended in a beautiful, huge waterfall. Copper was so tired she didn't even swim, she just laid in the cold mountain spring.
We ate at a local seafood restaurant that was delicious! I mean bacon wrapped scallops (yum!) and crab stuffed haddock with lobster sauce (double yum!).
A day at the beach was how we spent our last day. We drove over to Maine and went to Wells beach. I love the beach! The weather was perfect, but the water was on the chili side and when I say chili I mean COLD. Brady was braver than all of us and went in to play in the waves. It sure did look like a lot of fun B, sorry we didn't join ya, but our beer kept us warm.
It was a short visit, but we packed a good bit in. A & B got to see our new digs and we got to enjoy their company. They even got to see the start of the leaves changing. Thanks for comin! Love ya.
