Merdog

Riesling might be afraid of water, but this dog isn't! My parents made this carving for Nate and me for Christmas. And it might be the most special Christmas present I have ever received. My father handcarved the merdog, and my mom painted it. They made one of each of the dogs in the family! What a wonderful present!

Snow Puppy

Riesling loves snow! Nate and I weren't too pleased to drive through a blizzard to get to Boston for Christmas. But seeing Ries's delight with the white fluffy stuff made everything better. It was so funny to see her pounce on the snow - which was up to her shoulders!

Bad Bash 2008

Our annual holiday party was a success! Santa graced us with his presence once again and the fun began. We were also pleased to count some new arrivals among our guests: 6 month old Caroline and 4 month old Owen. We can only imagine what next year will bring!
