Now we're friends

Murphy and Bailey have become better friends over the past few months. Not to say they weren't friends before, but they didn't used to sit on the same sofa at all, let alone a love seat. I guess ever since Murphy showed Bailey how to get Beef Jerky from Wendell, things have changed.

A pot of GOLD...

Tonight when we got home from dinner and walked through the door and we saw this amazing view from our front yard. There has got to be a pot of gold somewhere around here. Just finding it in the vineyards below is going to be a challenge!

Beach Time with Murphy Do

We went to the beach on with Brian's parents, our dog Murphy, and his parents 3 year old dog Bailey.

Murphy is going to be 14 on July 1 and believes she is still a puppy. I must say that she definately gives Bailey a run for her money. She jogs up and down the beach, swims after sticks and shows Bailey up especially in swimming. Bailey is getting better at swimming, but isn't completely sure she is into it yet.

Camping at Assateague with the Family

Brian and I have camped at Assateague Island during Memorial Day Weekend for the past 4 years. This year we celebrated with 17 campers and visits from friends and family who were staying in near by Ocean City. I must say that camping on 3 sites with 17 people is definately crazy! We had a great time and it was wonderful to spend time with our family and friends!

Time with Auntie Jessica

During our trip home, Eli and I spent an afternoon together while Heather ran some errands. This little man is so much fun! We hung out, ate some sweet potatoes and he even showed me a couple of his latest tricks he has learned since I have been gone. We didn't take a nap because we were having too much fun!

Hi Aunt Jessica, you are the best baby sitter in the world!

One of his new tricks, rolling over! - He has since mastered this and is getting ready to walk :)

Meeting Uncle Brian

Saturday afternoon Brian and I went to my sisters for a cookout. We had a great time! Eli met Brian for the first time.

Nice to meet you Uncle Brian

It is really cute to watch Eli in his car. He loves it! Right now his legs don't touch the ground for him to move it himself, but they will be soon. He smiles the whole time anyone walks him around.
