Camping out...


We took Lindsey on her first camping trip this weekend. The weather was idyllic, sunshine and mellow breezes. Being right by the beach was the most incredible aspect, as it afforded us many chances to walk the shores and play in the surf. A co-worker of Kyle's and his family joined us on this adventure. The kiddos adored Lindsey, which made our job quite a bit easier. Unfortunately, sleep was not our friend as our neighbors were a little rowdy into the wee hours of the evening. Lindsey handled it all well, however, keeping herself calm and quiet in spite of the craziness. Overall, it was a pleasurable time had by all.

Holiday Hullabaloo...

Our holiday celebrations were filled with joyful noises and laughter as we reconnected with our family and friends in the land of endless rain. Coming from the sunny "central coast", the dose of liquid sunshine was just what we needed to rejuvenate our weary bods and minds. Here are a few moments, digitally captured, as sweet reminders of the time spent in the presence of those we love. Enjoy!

The graduate...


Tonight was a big night for Lindsey. She officially completed her dog training course and was awarded a certificate and toy of her choice. Though Lindsey still has a lot to master, the class was definitely beneficial for us all. Here are some pictures of the festivities, including her trainer and a few other dogs from the program.
