Day of the Dachshunds

Of all the days to leave the camera back at the house! We went on a nice long beach walk yesterday and met a group of folks with three dachshunds and - of all things - an orange kitten. Roxie had a lot of fun making some new friends, until she got a bit too excited about the kitty (an interactive playtoy - oh my)!

We have been lucky to catch some beautiful October sunshine on our last two trips here to the beach house. Today is gray and wet, but yesterday was amazing.

Emily and I spent this afternoon selecting some 2009 photos to post here, so now we just need Erik to apply his magic wand. Check back soon!

Happy Fall!

We are still behind on photos - what's new? I suppose I could have used my four months of unemployment to learn how to do this myself, but that would have been a productive use of my time and we can't have that....

Emily turns 10 on Friday, the 16th. I am too young to be the mother of a 10-year-old - especially one who's almost as tall as me!
