More Family Photographs

Hey everyone!

Tomorrow, the puppies arrive.

I am so excited. Perhaps that's why I've had insomnia for the past few nights, but I like to think that's associated with work, or anything else that makes me unhappy. I don't want to associate the joy machines with late night TV, and crying to Saffron during the wee morning hours.

I wanted to share a few photos I took over the weekend of a friend of mine and her family. I think I enjoy taking pictures of kids more than I ever imagined I would! Insomnia does have a positive our

Here are a few family shots:

The real joy was definitely taking pictures of the kiddos!

Have a great week, everyone!

The Joy Machines

Tony and I have decided to get some puppies.

We wanted two, and we wanted them to be brothers. We wanted them to be companions, not only to us, but to each other as well.

We went to a golden retriever breeder (say that three times fast) outside of Temecula, CA, and fell in love.

Tony's pick was a little guy who's incredibly ornery, full of vigor (translate: an energy demon), and is already attached at Tony's heels.

We named him Ed.

My pick was the runt of the litter. He's noticeably smaller (and more of a red head!) than Ed.

He's incredibly sweet, and was content to just play in my lap.

We're naming him Ralph.

They're only 6 weeks old right now, but in a week from Wednesday, we'll travel back up there and bring them home. I'm SO excited. And scared. But mostly excited...

Ed and Ralph. Together, forever.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long.

I've been tired. And busy teaching myself how to knit. I'll post pictures of that soon.

Until then, here's a random assortment of stuff from my life:

Saffron enjoys watching the birds out of our bay windows. She doesn't realize some of the crows around here are bigger than her...

We bought a gigantic compressor that's as old as my dad. I slept in the back of the truck the whole time Tony was purchasing it. I really wasn't interested in buying a vintage submarine that weighs a metric ton. Literally.

The only pretty flowers in our yard are spilling over from the neighbor's fence.

Although, the weeds are even starting to look pretty compared to the dirt.

WE HAVE AVOCADOS PEOPLE. And lots of 'em. I have no idea how they taste.
