You’ve heard of Mary’s dance class adventures…. Or maybe you haven’t… Doesn’t mean they aren’t ongoing.

You know that William has followed into the art… With Vigor.

What you DON’T know… is that the newest member of the Family aspires to greatness! Anne Carroll hasn’t seen him yet, but I expect that the application will be processed quickly and accepted. Click the pictures to get more detail.

Here, we have the initial greeting and setup:

Dominance is tested, and we begin the Ballet.

The leap, executed although the stretch doesn’t fully extend… 1 point deduction.

Check your partner’s position, and prepare for the grand finale.

It’s the Flying dog duo! 8 paws, 7 airborne.

Perhaps the dance should be left to the children. I hear the flying squirrels have some openings.

But they have some winters, and they knew how to keep from freezing to death.

Fashionable… well, maybe not. However, you fold the flaps down, and it’ll keep you warm. ….ish. 8 degrees out there, and puppy had to go for his walk.

I’ll spare you the photo of me wearing it. I didn’t want to break the new camera.

And it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

Everyone stay bundled up! (Unless you’re the Dog… in which case, stop wanting to go out!)

When I remember back to Ms. Kosh’s puppy stage, you forget alot of the details. You remember the cuteness (which she never outgrew)… You remember the fun puppy energy.

You don’t remember the pain (oh, you remember that there was, but no details). The puppy teeth. The incredibly SHARP needle like puppy teeth. The potty training accidents. The Chewing. The middle of the night whining.

But then again, it’s some of those things that tend to bond you with the puppy in question. This post is not about any of those things.

Yesterday, we hit the Rainforest Cafe after Dance. The kids loved it. Those pictures are here:

Mary woke up in the morning wanting to go back for a Volcano… It’s obviously going to be a challenge to keep this a special treat.

Today has been a good day. A cold day, but good none the less.

You’ve heard of the Dog days of summer?

These are the dog days of Winter. It’s a bit different than yesterday.

So anyways… We bought a family membership to the Adventure Science Center in Nashville at the beginning of the Fall. The new Planetarium was open, and is usual for most of these places, if you go twice, you’ll pay the membership off.

We’ve been twice in the last week, which is surprising to me. But then again, it’s a large playground to them… It’s not like they are going to actually spoil the fun learning anything.

Combine one laser pointer (conveniently located on an iphone charger) and one 11 week old German Shepard pup. Add two toddlers, shake, and enjoy. This video has been edited, as toddler B decided that he would pursue the red dot as well. Since I don’t care for a visit from the FBI, that footage has already been deleted.

Merry Christmas everyone!

We still haven’t figured out the ears… but we have the neckwear under control.

So… The naming quest has begun, and it appears that the choice had been made, before much debate.

Although we considered various names, the short list was really down to two.
