He's Flaky


Lyle and I were out the other night when these monstrously huge snowflakes started coming down from the sky. We were walking through the bookstore when I realized one was still stuck to his head. We'd been in the store for a few minutes, so you can imagine how the flake was to begin with.

The smell of fresh air

You gotta love an evening in February when it's nice enough to leave the windows wide open.

Good News and Random Photos


Good News!
Received THE call from CCI today. Lilly has been matched as a facility dog, and will primarily be working with children. Her soft expression will warm any child's heart. We'll be attending her graduation next Friday.





Eye Boogers
OK, kind of gross, but both Easton and now Sly have constantly had goopy eyes. Today one of his boogers got caught on his eyebrow and with every eye movement he made it stretched back and forth. Sort of gross, but funny to watch.



Bubbles
Sitting at Starbucks today, I looked down and Sly had fallen asleep and his breathing had created this curious saliva bubble.


Vacuums = BORING
Went shopping for vacuums again today. Sly was laying there nicely, then gave a big sigh and flopped over on his side. Apparently I was taking much too long analyzing the matter.


Carillon 
Went for a walk in the park and saw this nice winter view,


and lots of ducks paddling to keep a little bit of water open.
