Morgan's 5th

Powder Puff Derby 2008

Allison placed 2nd in her class with this year's Powder Puff Derby car. The derby was run on March 29th. She decided to name her car "Speeder". I'm just glad the wheels stayed on again this year. You can see the results from last year here: 2007 posting

Ring the bell

The bell in Carlee's mouth is our indication that she needs to "go out". We've been working on training her to alerts us before Nature makes its call. She's getting the hang of it, altough D and I were a little surprised to find the bell missing when we returned home Friday night from dinner. I found it in the yard the next day, apprently Carlee chewed it off the door and carried it out. We'll get some tougher string.

Carlee gets groomed

Freshly back from the groomers, donning a yellow ribbon, Carlee's the best smelling dog on the block.

Happy Chinese New Year

The video below is part of AA's performance in a Dragon Dance as part of her study of China this year. She's buried in the back of this group so not alot of her in the video, but the idea is cute.
