car ride

it looked even funnier in my side mirror. i love seeing all dogs hanging out the window. so happy.

happy birthday

one year old today!
only three years to go till she stops eating our couch?

summer day roach

and yes, that’s really her middle name. i thought it was pretty, but my kids think it’s goofy. it probably should have been “no.” that what she hears most of the time. these are her official mt pictures. as always, thanks to russ for making us look good. :)

greetings

try to be surprised if you see these shots end up on our card this year.
more cool shots from olivia.

summer day

i know. i’m the mom. but is that not the most beautiful dog EVER? once again, thanks to russ for making my family look good.

frank and summer

right after i said i wouldn’t do it.
but i just found this picture...taken by olivia on her phone.
i just love it. the composition is awesome.
maybe there is another camera in your future, sweetheart.

paper recycling

at the risk of overdoing it with the dog pictures...another shot of summer in my office. she looks so innocent, doesn’t she? thanks eran, for the photo.

13 weeks

at brenda’s party last saturday afternoon. we saw other puppies that were the same age as summer was when we got her. it’s hard to believe how much she has grown. and how much she puts into her mouth. (thanks sally, for the picture!)

dogfight

summer and sam at work this morning.
it’s so fun to watch them play.
sam is the most gentle dog i have ever been around.
we hope summer takes after him.

summer

the new addition to our family. she’s the one biting the fence.
we think sam was meditating about dogmas or something.
