Double Anniversary

My procrastinating gets worse during the Holiday Season. At this rate, my next blog post will be in the New Year. Now I need to go catch up on a month's worth of everyone else's blogs.
These past few weeks have consisted of more babysitting and a couple of anniversaries.
Buck doing his best Nigel Buggers impersonation.Jaime and Stanley taking a nap under the ‘Doggie Snuggies’ blanket.Some downtown Fredericksburg stores opened their doors to doggies and were handing out treats for Halloween. Tourists admire how the kids are willing to dress up for treats.We watched Allie who had all her teeth pulled due to a plaque allergy. Can you say messy eater? Yes, that pink thing is her tongue.With 10 dogs one weekend, it’s just easier to sleep downstairs on the airbed. Clockwise from bottom left is, Gertie, Stanley, Stella, Jaime, Blue, Billy, Allie and Abby standing up, and Nellie and Parker on the bed with Kris.Stella had her 6th Gotcha Day anniversary. Really doesn’t seem like we’ve had her that long. She started it all for us on this greyhound journey. For dinner she got some leg of lamb and barbecue sprinkled on her kibble. She also got lots of hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy.Abby and Blue are the kinda brother and sister who are always poking at each other, then when mommy scolds, exclaim that they weren’t doing anything. They just can’t let the other one have their way.My 40th birthday also marked our 7th year wedding anniversary. We took the kids to Charlottesville for stroll downtown and a bite to eat. We came across this ‘chalk wall’. We first noticed the ‘I Love My Wife’, but then noticed in smaller letters above it, ‘I Like My Wife Okay’. I hope he was alone when he wrote that.Before we even got our food, Stella was ready to leave.Parker is stunned that Stanley can lay down when there is food on the table.Jaime surveys the table. They all got some calamari and onion rings. The beer was for adults only.Kris wanted me to add this one last photo of Jaime because she's just so darn cute in it.

  2. Love how Jaime and Stanley snuggle - I can't tell who looks more comfy! I can't believe Allie had all of her teeth pulled - poor thing!

  3. You guys have the best shots of your living room! Love the Nigel impression! That is some serious tongue action that girl has -- better keep her away from Nigel!

  8. Dogs should never eat onions. It can kill them.

  10. I love love love that last photo of Jaime. I also love that Kris has all of 2 sq cm of space to herself.

    I think the difference between Buck's look and Nigel Buggers is that Buck looks like he's contemplating life in general--philosophatizing. Nigel contemplates booty--philanderotizing. At least Buck won't get hit with a pawternity suit. Oh yes, I punned. Slap me.


    (And are you still trying to pretend Facebum doesn't exist? Kris is a patient woman. Congrats on 7. I'm sure you have the 7-year itch--to get more beer-craving greys.)
