Too Much Puppy? No Such Thing

21 Jan 2011

Can’t Get Enough of Tillie!
Shot this snaps this morning. Kiera was taking Tillie to her place for a puppy playdate.
I know. (click to see bigger)



Lucy didn’t want them to go:

And I thought I should take one shot of Booker. (who, for the record, is being so good with the puppies lately!)

When we went inside, I gave him a cookie.

I Love Oscar’s Room Again

19 Jan 2011

We moved a couple things around in Oscar’s room. And I’m so happy we did! Most notably we moved the giant corner cabinet out. Out the window to be precise. I wish I took a photo of that, but I was too busy trying not to drop it on Mark’s head. Oh, hold on, Mark has a shot from his phone:

Now the writing desk is out of the way, and the whole room feels right again. Hooray!
(It’s still ‘over-full’, but at least now you can get around.)

See all the space?!

The desk is now here in the corner when you walk in. I like that you can finally see the green wall touching the blue wall. It’s what we covered up all this time with the bookcase (5+ years).

My childhood bed. Isn’t it pretty? Don’t you just want to take a nap in the afternoon sun?

And, guess who likes Oscar’s room more than me?

New Pup In The Neighborhood

17 Jan 2011

Our upstairs neighbors, Izzie & Lachlan, got a new puppy! An 8 week old ‘Labradoodle’.

I’m sorry, the pics didn’t come out very good because it was just getting dark when we sat out on the stoop together. But she is gorgeous! It was fun timing – the Alperins and Cole & Kiera all came by. The puppy didn’t have a name yet, so the kids helped by suggesting names. Izzie wanted a Aussie name, and so with all our help, she chose Matilda, and we’ll call her Tillie! She is so sweet. Welcome to Page Street, Tillie!
