Our Irish friend Clare brought us to the Irish Fest......the following is the account.

Yeay Irish!!

Favorite line of the night: The four drunk people on the floor are dancing better than the rest!

Thanks Clare and Kevin...can't wait until next year!!

Cinder Takes Gold! Halloween in July?

Monday the 7th was a big night in the little city when Glastonbury hosted its 26th annual Pooch Pagent. The night was a chance for kids to show off their dogs. The Paskale's borrowed our dogs and we borrowed their children. The trade was a major success. Cinder and Julia landed the "Biggest Dog " award:

Cinder was hoping for "Biggest Tongue!"

Michael and Montes made a strong showing (2nd Place!) in the "Best Trick" category when Michael encouraged (with the help of a treat) Montes to leap in the air.

Thanks to Clare and Kevin's enthusiasm, Montes and Party were both ready for the "Best Costume" competition. Monty was a serious Pirate.....

....and Party fully embraced the role of a Dragon (or maybe was just upset to be turned into a doll, we'll never know and we can write whatever we want - sorry Party!)

The best part of the evening was hanging out with friends....

A big thank you to the Paskale's for all the generous treats. Nothing says "I care" like a dried bulls penis.

4 Dog Night!

2008-07-01T21:32:00.010-04:00

We had a great visit this weekend from Justin and Jon and their dog Kelsey. We're excited to have them back on the east coast!
We had a ton of fun hiking and swimming at our local gorge, tapas dinner at the Griswold Inn Wine Bar in Essex, lots of giggles. Swimming was definitely a highlight for both Kelsey and Cinder. Montes even went in on his own accord when he saw that both of us were out there swimming. A few highlights from our weekend:

In the above picture notice what Brett is carrying under each arm....

Montes' first year..

A certain very special Grammie visited our blog and while she loved it, she felt that we had left out one of the members making up a Three Dog Night. So...last but not least....Here is the third dog in our family. We'll have new pictures of him as we take them, most of the ones we've taken are just a black and tan blur!

Montes is in the middle with his brothers at 7 weeks of age.

Below Montes is demonstrating a killer cuddle at a couple weeks of age...nice form Montes!

Read All About It!

You are reading our first posting to our new blog. We are kicking this off in an effort to more connected with our family and friends that we don't get to see as often as we would like. Our whole family is excited to begin sharing; Party is licking my face as I type this message :)

All new projects start with grand visions. Our current enthusiasm includes plans for a series of "sub-blogs" intended to bore our families and friends with topics such as favorite recipes, wine journal, travel adventures, daily giggles, etc...

More coming soon, including pictures of our "foundation bitch"...
