5 months, a puppy, and spring

Jackson helping me garden





It's a beautiful day- lets go outside!






Pushing himself up on the couch- he was on his back, but really using his legs...






Derek says this hat makes him look like a girl, but I didn't want his ears to burn!








Hangin' with Maya- she was born December 1st.




Keeping an eye on the other kids.


Hey Mom!


So much to see!


Back inside- I couldn't resist that hat!



So this is where he tries to get the sign, slowly leans over, lands on his head, and gets the sign- all in great humor!





Ha!

Mine!!


So much has happened... We're completely moved into our new house, which is really nice. The weather has been beautiful the past week, so we've been getting outside to play and work, barbeque and bonfire. Derek was getting a last ice fishing trip in last week, so Jackson and I got some really good time in together. We were outside as much as possible!


We decided to get another dog, and when puppies showed up on the Humane Society's website, we had to act quickly! Maya came home the 25th of February, the day we lost power for three days. That was fun... We'd gotten spoiled living in Bath where you always have running water- power or not- but in Phippsburg, we have a well, so no power= no water. We do have a fireplace, but it was getting pretty cold by the time the power came back on Sunday.


Everything is going well here, we have a visit from my Mom's side of the family coming right up- Uncle Doug, Uncle Bobby, and Gram and Gramp are coming to Maine!! We're looking forward to that more than I can say!

  1. Laura, Great pictures and script. I love the dog's name. Maya is so suggestive of middle America and the possessive "my". She looks like an affectionate lady. She is not wearing her ancestors around her neck, but she looks like a black Labrador retriever. CAn't tell for sure, but she should be a nice big dog. Just right for Jackson and Derek can use her to hunt. You can all get to know her as family all too soon. Does she get to sleep with Jackson next year?
