March 28, 2010 - And then there's this Sports Nut..

Maybe we need to raise the hoop up if he is going to jamming this hard!


Sometimes he likes to play football.  42, 53, hut hut, hike!


And sometimes he needs Daddy Time.


He likes to celebrate a good dunk - even if its with a football.


Watch me, Mama! (Notice, he also has a golf ball in his hand)


Yay!


Where's the next ball!  I can't get enough!

March 28, 2010 - Major Milestone for Sydney!

Yep, she can dribble now!








She just needs to learn to watch out for her opponent trying to steal the ball...

March 27, 2010 - Captain Underpants and His Sister

I bought some incentive underpants for Chase for when we start potty training (any day now, right? :) ) He loves to wear them over his diapers - and we don't stop him because its cute. Even Sydney thinks so!


Ring around the rosey!


Beautiful girl


Handsome boy


There's her smile!

March 10, 2010 - Another gift..

The other day, we came home to another gift from a wonderful Woof! (Boston Terrier) friend. Marilyn and Pepito sent us this beautiful stained glass piece made by another friend of ours. So thoughtful! I just need to find the right spot for it!

March 10, 2010 - A Beautiful Surprise

What a nice surprise we had Wednesday afternoon. A knock on the door and a beautiful flower arrangment was delivered. Very unexpected... especially when I saw who it was from.

A good pup went to a good family. :)

March 9, 2010 - Chase's Ear Tubes Surgery

Chase had to have tubes put in his ears today.  Poor baby!  Too many ear infections and fluid in his ears.  Luckily, we have an awesome children's hospital in Akron and the experience was as pleasant as it could be.  We are so impressed by Chase today as he went without eating until 5pm and barely complained.  He was also a stellar patient for the Drs.  What a good boy!

Chase in his gown in the waiting room.  Not a bad spot for a kid to hang out.


Chase learning about the mask that administers anesthesia.  Daddy models the Dr's hats for Chase so he is not afraid when he sees a bunch of Drs.


Daddy showing Chase how to put the mask on his mouth.


Here - you try it!


Chase shows George how its done..

March 3, 2010 - Sammy Jr. Leaves the Waller Nest

Sammy Jr's new family came to pick him up today. It was a great meeting and all three were very excited.

Here he is with his new mom and dad.


His mom got him a new coat for those harsh Martha's Vineyard winds during the winter.


Saying goodbye...


I love you Sammy Jr... you naughty little pup! And he's off to his new home...

February 27, 2010 - Chase's Birthday Party! Two years old!

Okay, technically, he isn't two until February 28, but we celebrated a day early.

Happy Birthday to Chase!

His wonderful cake with his favorite Toy Story guys on it.


Don't be shy, you are in for a surprise!


Yay - Birthday Cake! Chase blowing out his candles.


Sydney enjoyed the cake frosting. And she got to dress up in her "Ladybug" dress (as she calls it). Fun! Fun!


Addy enjoys a slice of cake. 


Lily seems very happy to be partaking as well!  Bet they are looking forward to their own cake in a few weeks.


Lauren stopped by with Mija, Sofija, and baby Nikolas.  Notice, the girls are also in their fancy "dress-up" dresses.


Sydney is just too excited for me to not share this picture.


Daddy and his boy.  I think Will's eyes are half closed because he spent all day cooking a wonderful Italian dinner for everyone :)


Time for presents!  I tried to get Chase to smile at the camera, but he was too focused on the task at hand!


Toy Story DVD!


Mija watching Chase open his gifts.  She looks like a little Blauser!


I am going to have to talk to Lauren about smiling for pictures.  Nik is taking it all in.


My little girl.... being goosey :)


The three amigas.  You will always find them in dress up clothes when they are hanging out together.
