We Love Our New Camera

Some more pictures from FL.

Just remember as you look at these that we want to be in the snow more than you want to be on the beach!!!!



Isn't our Dog Cute!

He has 2 shows in January. He won his classes and got reserve winners at his first show! We are proud of him and Emily!

Three Years

It was our 3rd anniversary this past week! To celebrate we took a drive up A1A, took a ferry accross the St. Johns River and then drove up to Big Talbot Island St. Park. The driftwood there is amazing. Perhaps I will make this a double post and put up some more pictures!

Bingley

Bingley and Emily had their first show this weekend and they did great! Bingley was entered in the Old English Sheepdog male puppy class on both Saturday and Sunday. After about four hours of intermittent grooming (yes, it was that much) he competed in the ring. On Saturday he won first in his class and went on to get reserve winner for the dogs. On Sunday he got frieked out by a few things in the ring but still placed second in his class! We're very proud of our boy!! I'm so glad Emily has a hobby she really enjoys. Here they are a bit blurry:



I'm looking forward to Christmas but we really miss the white stuff. My entire family will be in MT for Christmas except for us so I'm missing family, too.

Snow!

Emily and I - mostly myself - are really missing home (that's Kalispell, Montana) right about now. Today was a snow day! They had 12 inches of the white stuff and with the temperature hovering right above 0 degrees Faranheit!

It would be about this time that we would be busted up from sledding our guts out all day! I have become all to aware that Floridians bring out the winter jackets at about 65 degrees...

On a different note Devon, Emily's brother visited us from West Point! It was awesome having him here all week with Em and I. We played some Pinochle and alot of Munchkin!

Lastly, we made myriad lefses (or lefse). It's a family tradition from Norway on Emily and my side. Devon helped us out on Thanksgiving day morning and we got 40 of them made. If you don't know what Lefse is go to this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefse
It gives a modest defintion. And just so you know the best way to eat lefse is to spread it with Kaukauna cheese! Mmmm.
