The Bean

Any questions about his name?
















Things are going smoothly. Boomer hasn't bitten his head off yet and house breaking is going ok. His puppyness is evident - he'll chew on anything that's near his mouth and when he runs around, he has a very playful gait. He is very, very cute.

He's also a great magnet - Whit came home for the weekend to see him and we've had lots of visitors since he joined the family.

Peter is also just wonderful, and I love them both the same, LOL. But Bean is MINE.

Do you actually mind that I'm eating this blanket?
















He is the sweetest little pup, still intimidated by Boomer, and getting used to life with his new family.



















All this excitement just wears a little guy out.
















Sleeping with Pete. You should see the positions!

BEST. BIRTHDAY. PRESENT. EVER.

His name is Bean.

Peter and ?
















Cam's new puppy. His name is Peter!

















My birthday present! Peter's little brother.

















So scared! He's hiding behind his new mommy.

What's his name? We're working on that and hoping he'll give us some clues.

Graduation Day


















Zach and Whit, friends and roommates for four years.

















So proud!















After a cocktail party at a professor's house, we drove out into the country to a beautiful winery for dinner.
















Friends since their days in the dormitory, friends for life.

A Beautiful Day!

We're off to Commencement at the University of Oregon. Whit will graduate with honors, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics and a minor in Business Administration.

College was easy for him, and he took ping pong, frisbee and yoga along with the basics. He worked for the Football team and had a beautiful girlfriend. It was just the way college was supposed to be.

He has a job with an economic consulting company and is planning to go on to Graduate School in a year or two.

I can't wait for this day. The sun is shining, the champagne is chilled, and we're on our way. I can't wait to hug our boy!

** bonus: There's a big celebration at a winery this evening with all of his friends, roommates and their families. We're staying at a country hotel. We're even bringing Boomer!

Man, that pizza was good

If you haven't made pizza on your barbecue grill yet, you should give it a whirl.

We had a little shindig last night, and I decided to finally get around to grilling pizza. Teri swears by it, so it has to be good!

I bought texas rolls in the frozen bread section, thawed them overnight in the refrigerator, and then rolled them out really thin - they made a perfect plate-sized pizza. (or buy the ready-made pizza dough at Trader Joe's - just don't make the pies too big) Norris oiled up the grill and baked the crusts before everyone arrived - once we were suitably lubricated with wine and stories, everybody put on their own toppings. The last step is to throw them back on the grill to finish them off, but we were having so much fun in the kitchen that we just did it in the oven.

Only one person fell asleep watching the Dubai pics, LOLOL.

Love my girls!
