Introducing: Roxie Crandall

After we moved to CR, we considered calling the gentleman we had given Jack to to say, "Hey! We didn't move to California! Can we have our dog back??"
But it didn't seem like a very nice thing to do.

So this is Roxie. She is a 6 week old Brittany, and the new best pal to Ezra (hopefully the cat will learn a thing or too in this regard), and playmate to all.
She has a very sweet disposition and is a quick learner, too. We've had ten potty breaks so far, and all of them have been outside. Let's hope we can keep it up!

Christmas with the Crandalls

The two smallest cranbabies, Louise and Levi, were so cute! Violet loves this monkey aunt Alissa made!



Stockings!!


I think Jonathan provoked him. Either that or he hates wooden stars.

I don't think so, Violet........................................................okay.
Mouth full of candy.
Crocodile tears? Definitely

Fillings? We hope so! We also got some nice nose hair shots.

Building pirate ships and painting birdhouses was fun!




Aw...what nice family photos!

Hold on! Wait....guys! C'mon! No! Don't do the can-can! You don't have the figures for it!
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil....pick your nose. I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.





Everyone loved Mimi and Papa's woods! The cave, the fort, the fire...the kids had a blast. And I think we can all agree that we'd take fire-roasted meatballs over hot dogs any day!

And finally Andrew was kind enough to model his newest pose for us; "Blue Steel".
It was so much fun having everyone together. The kids can't wait to see all their cousins and aunts and uncles again!
