Winter is Back!

More snow and cold in Iowa.  Bella loves to run in the snow and Mommy's new camera is perfect for catching it.  Magpie is not so excited by the snow.

Christmas Dogs

We should have taken pictures of Magpie with the debris.  She's the dog who tried to eat Christmas.  Phill re-wrapped their presents from last year (puzzles which Grammy gave them).  We forgot to tell him not to place them under the tree till we were ready to open.  Magpie opened her's and Bella's and then started on everyone else's presents as well.

Thankfully, Phill caught her before she opened everything and the rest of us were able to open our own presents.  Christmas morning the girlies helped the boys with their stockings.

Sawing logs

It is hard to believe that anyone could relax as much as this pup.
You need sound for the full effect.

Bella Lurking

Just one picture today.  I'm not sure what it means.
Sad? Sulky? Lurking? Feeling guilty?  She's not telling.

Action Shots!

We had some beautiful Autumn days this week.  The girls had a great time playing in the yard.

Helping in the Garden

Bella loves to help Mommy in the garden.  Here she is keeping me company and helping to keep down the grass.  If only I could get her to run the lawn mower.
