A Blaze of Glory

 I put a towel on his head while he was lying down and he didn't even attempt to take it off, he just sat right up.

I finally broke down at the insistence of my kids to get another dog. Meet Blaze, a pure bred golden lab.
He is all puppy now so it's hard to say what his personality is.  He is very smart and has the arthritis bred out of him and is growing so fast. He was 11 weeks old in the first pictures when we got him. He is now 5 months old and about 50 lbs. I can't believe how fast he is growing.

More summer fun

Do you know what we did last summer?

 Salem Pond has become one of our favorite spots to go when we want to connect to nature in 5 minutes or less.

 The amazingly long hop scotch. I you ever want a good calf workout, come to our house and play a game or two.

 Just hangin out

 Who needs seven peaks and their impossibly crazy crowds when you have a pool on your driveway:)

 My sweet girls at girls camp, we had the time of our summer together. Such a great time to bond and unite.

 Sophia turned 6 this year, she has such cute and great friends.

 "Now I can play like Cody!" Sophia loved her Hello Kitty guitar for her B-day.

(Above) At Trafalga Sophia climbed 20 times in one turn, I think the boy helping her has a weakness for cute little blondes, she would just ask if she could go again and he would say SURE! I had to tell him after a while that we had to go otherwise she would of been there all day.
