A Boy and His Dog

One of the things I love about being a mom lately is watching Finn and our chocolate lab, Hannah blossom into lifelong friends. Hannah, went from being one of the worlds most spoiled dogs (complete with her own Easter baskets, Christmas stocking, and birthday celebrations) to being a big sister. It was traumatic for her – to say the least – when that fair skinned, bald-headed, chubby monster came into our lives. She avoided him like the plaque.

And now, they have learned to entertain each other, laying side by side watching cartoons, chasing balls, playing keep-away, and sharing snacks. I’ve been trying to document their love for one another on Instagram and wanted to share some of my favorites here on the blog. Enjoy:

Happy Easter

Finn and I dyed Easter eggs this morning and I think he really enjoyed himself. He was in charge of the wire loop that pulls the eggs out of the water, and he spent most of the time dipping it in each colored filled bowl and tasting it. Luckily I don’t use any vinegar or it wouldn’t have tasted very good.

^ When we were through, we piled the dried eggs neatly in some bowls and Finn decided he had to “taste” them too.

All in all, I think he enjoyed himself. We’ve been practicing hunting for candy filled eggs this week in hopes that Easter morning will go a bit smoother. (He takes awhile to warm up around more than a few people, even when it’s family).

We also visited the Easter bunny at the mall, which didn’t go all that well…

Let’s hope after he receives his basket full of candy and toys that he changes his mind.

Happy Easter everyone!

January

Wow, January sure came and flew by fast. I’ve been busy with design work and chasing around Finn during the days so I somehow haven’t managed to update since the holiday. Finn celebrated his 18 month milestone on Josh’s birthday this month. He is getting so big! It’s truly amazing to watch how quickly he changes and grows. I finally took the time to snap some pictures of him today and I thought I would share…

a little bed head never hurt anyone…

“what’s that round black thing you’re holding, mom?”

stretch…aka… tall, skinny boy

one of his favorite things to do…

where he spends most of his time…

with his dozens of cars and trucks…
