Amity in the Tent

We had big plans for a night of camping over Thanksgiving break, but weather and some minor illnesses conspired against us. However, thanks to a suggestion from our good friend Peggy, we still managed to pitch a tent (in the basement). Amity tried to go to sleep in it, but in the end decided she'd be more comfy upstairs in her bed.

Come somewhat warmer weather we'll need to give this another go. We are absolute slackers in this area as Amity has never spent a night outdoors in a tent and she's going to be 8 soon. Unacceptable. Must fix!

Ice Cream Faces

I'm pretty sure this is self-explanatory. Kids love ice cream. In their bellies and all over their faces, too.

Izzie!

One of the many pluses of my time at STAB was getting plugged into an awesome set of colleagues who pretty much all own dogs. This makes finding a dog sitter a lot easier than it might otherwise be. One of our favorite households to dog sit swap with is the Colombos, who have the sweetest and most gigantic St. Bernard, Izzie. As can be seen here, Izzie is a good sport when subject to much kiddo love. Also pictured, Zelda (much smaller).

Carbon Leaf @ The Jeff

Carbon Leaf came to town. They were, as usual, awesome.
