Cake Dress

I couldn't resist. She begged, pleaded and swore up and down this would be her Halloween costume.

Back in the Saddle

She lost a tooth!

Look who lost her first tooth!

Coyote

We had a visitor yesterday. Poor guy didn't look good - small, skinny and like something was wrong with one of his or her eyes.

Captain Loophole

Alec loves to find the loophole in any argument or situation. Here he is at the Norwalk Aquarium in August 2014 and then in August 2016. I guess not allowing vegetables to pass his lips hasn't impacted his growth?

She's not much of a cat, but Stella loves that they sleep together.

We went a long way to not even look Santa in the eye.
