We're Back!

[Adina P]

Clark, Natalie and I got back from vacation today. We were gone for 17 days and are THRILLED to be back home! There's only so much packing/unpacking one can take! Natalie traveled very well. Our trip took us to Redding, California for a weekend with good friends. Next came Southern California to see my family for one week. At the end of our week we joined about 15-16 other doodle families for a romp at Bev's (&Willy) home. There we got to see GBK with her HDA trophy!

After that a night with Clark's brother's family in Palm Springs where Natalie her two cousins! The next day we headed to a few days with his parents in Arizona, another night at my family's house and then back to Redding, Ca for the weekend. *Phew*

We got back to some very happy doggies and some fun surprises. The friends that take care of the dogs while we are away are AMAZING. Not only do they take great care of Rosco and Cass, but every single time we come back from a trip we come back to a completed project! Usually they mow our lawn or something (that we NEVER asked for). This time they cleaned up our driveway, replanted roses, and built new steps and a ramp for Cass!!!

Baby Natalie sleeping is truly priceless...I would definitely frame that one and keep forever...Everything about her is just "perfect" from her darling little nose to those pretty eyelashes....They grow so quickly in this first year.....no other picture will never be quite like this one...It truly is a classic shot...xxxx
