Santa and the dogs

Beau, Indy & Kona with Santa

My mother-in-law, Carole, and I took the pups to have their picture taken with Santa. This is a shot with my camera which is a little blurry but it's still too cute not to share.

Amber's Christmas Party

Amber, me & Arthur (looking dapper)

While Artie & Mike tried to bring cheer to the entire condo complex, Brian helped by holding the flashlight for the budding musicians.

Amber & I hanging out in front of the newly decorated Christmas tree. It's tradition to redecorate Amber's tree at her party and this year was no exception.

Rascal Flatts

Taylor Swift with a bunch of men in blonde wigs and short dresses.....a prank from the guys in Rascal Flatts since it was the last concert of the tour. Evidently that is what you do to the open act.

Cory with the girl that plays the fiddle for Taylor Swift.

UCONN vs West Virginia Game

Mark, Kyle & Ben - first beer of the day.......at 8:00am

Lauren & Mike Loftus came from NJ for the game. Good thing WV won, it would have been a long drive home for Lauren if they didn't (her words, not mine).

Halloween 2008

Indy

Kona & Beau

Kona & me getting ready to pass out candy.
Kona really hated the bandanna!

I helped Nan (Kyle's grandmother) pass out candy for a little bit before heading across the street for an Alice in Wonderland themed bash. Kona, Indy & Beau had a great night sniffing out all of the trick-or-treaters that came to the house. The bandannas are from my mother-in-law Carole.

Kona in the Leaves

I was supposed to help Kyle rake leaves, but instead, Kona & I had a photography session.

Hiking Weekend in Vermont

This past weekend we made the 3 hour trip up to Mount Snow, Vermont for a little hiking and relaxation. We met up with my college roommate, Lauren & her husband Mike who made the trek from New Jersey for the weekend. The hiking was amazing....even the unseen visitor that growled at us on our way back up the mountain didn't faze us (too much).
