Grandma and Grandpa Deerhake are here visiting and of course Grandpa was more than willing to help us out with a play area for Cameron in the back yard.    Here are a few pictures that Grandma has taken during the progress.

Measure once, cut twice....Well thats how it works with a 1yr old helping.

Bodhi has come over to visit us over the Christmas holiday and into the New Year.   He is right around 4 years old and is a weim mix.   At first we were worried they would not get along but now they cannot be separated.  Became best of buddies very quickly.

You sleep, I sleep.

Really, you are making us stay with a toddler around?   This is not fair.

HI!

I smell Rabbit, Do you?  

Here we are out for our daily frisbee game.  Bodhi stays tied up since he isn't 100% on his recall with me.

Okay, this REALLY is not FAIR.  We have to sit and stay with a toddler willing to give us cookies?

HO HO HO, Merry Christmas from the two silly dogs.

Mardi needed some obedience classes so 7-8 months ago we started taking classes at a dog club. Now I'm a member and we were able to help represent the club in the Dunedin parade. The Dog sure did get lots of attention, many people thought he was a gray hound because of his color. It was a fun time and we even did some Christmas activities with friends when we were finished. ----Mardi was good too!

Ainsley came over for breakfast yesterday and showed us we need to work on how to share. Kids are funny.

So far the tomato plants have been unharmed by the active toddler but we cannot say the save for my cactus. We hope to have tomatoes growing soon.
