Look Who's 4!

It's LOLA! Our "little girl" (all 90 pounds of her) celebrated her 4th in style with a peanut butter flavored cake from Three Dog Bakery. Here she is showing amazing restraint from tearing in to it...


After much indulging, she and Tut were pooped from all the fuss & food ... meanwhile Zeus struck his famous porno dog pose when he heard the word CAKE (notice the big smile on his face ... yes, dogs really do smile!)...













I finished the girly-girl pink scarf (photo to come) with the seed beads attached.... despite along with some help from the birthday girl. She just had to cuddle with Mommy while I was knitting... nevermind it was about 90 degrees that day!

While I got some knitting done (finished the sage green baby hat and cast on a purple one...), the dogs had another eventful critter-watching weekend...

Woodchucks (think this one is Chucky, but then again it could be Woody or maybe even grown-up baby Chuckita from last year... Zeus would know...)

Squirrels galore... this one actually "sat pretty" for me!


While photographing the critters, I came across some pretty day lilies on the side of our house behind a wood pile... kind of a cool picture, no?



OK - I confess... I haven't weeded in about 3 years and ANY flowers still growing in our yard are cool at this point!

Now, I'll leave you with a critter of a different nature... introducing our newest nephew, Benjamin Gordon who was born on June 7 ... Ben makes 7 for the niece & nephew count!
