Giggles

Lucia just had her first little giggle session - so cute!

Backyard buddy (?)

The dogs were going crazy in the backyard and looked like they had something cornered. Hoping it wasn't another 'possum, I went out to calm them down. Check out this guy...! A nice little copperhead, about 3 feet long I'd guess. He was shaking his tail at the dogs and staring them down, but thankfully didn't strike (at least I don't think so). Got my camera to document so I could compare pics to the web and ID him! Pretty sure it's a copperhead, but happy to hear from any herpetologists in the crowd.







Belle and Lulu





Sisters!

What's not to be happy about?








See here for comparisons with 11 week old Belle in her FB debut...

8 weeks old

The difference in seasons between the two girls is beginning to catch up with us in terms of Lucia's wardrobe, so I had to try on all of Belle's cute summer things to see what might fit before it turns fall around here. Auntie Kate got Belle this dress when Isabelle was about 4 months old... still a bit too big, but cute!






This last pic is a goofball one... but mostly to show off Lucia's beautiful blue eyes!

So you think you can surf...

Apparently Jay can! Bob lent him his surf board for an hour, with the detailed instructions, "You just ride it," and Jay managed to catch a few waves.
