Meet Spencer
Spencer enjoys long walks in the grass, licking people's faces, flailing himself around on unexpecting bystanders, and biting to the point of forceful and mandatory removal of subject and puppy teeth.

Sophie loves her poo!
Birthday celebration at our house with friends. If the cupcakes could talk, they would say, "You talkin' to me (in Robert De Niro voice)?

Even Elfie got into the birthday spirit!
Decorating Houses
Some turned out mashed.
Most turned out like this. The prototype that I had made the night before held up really well for me. I definitely underestimated the difficulty of the project when putting it into the hands of 1st and 3rd graders. Lesson learned.
Time for gifts!
"Happy Birthday to You..."
Birthday Supper at Valentino's
The Girls' Gift from Mom and Dad
For the last few months, Chad has been working with his dad to build the girls a playhouse for their birthday. He got as much of it completed as he could for the winter (time was limited due to the weather and his appendectomy), and we will put the finishing touches on it in the spring.
Happy, happy, happy birthday, girls! We love you to pieces!
Elfie decided to use toilet paper to decorate our house for Ella's birthday. Turns out, he used ALL of the toilet paper that we had left. Needless to say, in a house full of 5 people where everyone uses the bathroom in the morning, it made for some very interesting conversations.
"Hey, Mom. Could you grab me some toilet paper off the tree, please?"
Silly Elfie
