Welcoming Hannah into our family.
(6/1/23)
|
|
Such a noble puppy face.
(6/1/23)
|
|
Avery says, "Squirt me!"
(6/2/23)
|
|
So Lee did. (6/2/23)
|
 |
Hannah doesn't yet understand this
game. (6/2/23)
|
 |
Hannah looks so much like Carl that
we keep thinking, "Who left Carl lying on the floor?!?!"
(6/3/23)
|
 |
A play date in the park that started with basketball evolved into water play. (6/4/23)
|
 |  |
Hannah is a cuddly girl. (6/4/23)
|
 |
Puppy buddies. (6/7/23)
|
 |
We had a hard couple days, so someone sent us a fancy fruit salad to help make it better. (6/7/23)
|
 |
Lane spent all afternoon making this delicious masterpiece. (6/9/23)
|
 |
Celebrating
Lee's birhtday eve with a round of Exploding Kittens. I pointed
out that the ocean is larger than Hannah. Somehow this was funny.
(6/9/23)
|
 |
Lee is ready to have a really good day. (6/10/23)
|
 |
Lee's birthday party began with all the kids running around having a squirt gun fight. (6/10/23)
|
 |
Even Avery got to participate. (6/10/23)
|
 |
So many kids who Lee usually only sees online were suddenly there in person! (6/10/23)
|
 |
Pizza, watermelon, capri sun, and now cake! (6/10/23)
|
 |
Time for the loot llama. (6/10/23)
|
 |
After all the other, younger kids got three hits, Lane outright decapitated it. (6/10/23)
|
 |
And then, forgoing the stick entirely, Lee resorted to fists. (6/10/23)
|
 |
Finally, all the children tore the poor llama apart. (6/10/23)
|
 |  |
Slayer of llamas. But not a sniper. (6/10/23)
|
 |  |
Lee
made sure to shoot each of the T-rex's on the wrapping paper.
Much delight over Lane's gift of CD-copies of all of Taylor
Swift's albums. (6/10/23)
|
 |
"What are you doing with those giant paws? What are your plans?" (6/12/23)
|
 |
Some of Hannah's plans. (6/13/23)
|
 |  |
Meeting their 4th grade teacher for the first time in person on the last day of school. (6/15/23)
|
 |
Running with Avery, Hannah, and one of Hannah's classmates from puppy school. (6/15/23)
|
 |
The first day of summer, spent playing a puzzle game they bought with birthday money. (6/16/23)
|
 |
We went on a walk and ended up hanging out in the big grassy field behind the elementary school. (6/16/23)
|
 |  |
Running with the puppies... until they collaborated to take Lee down. (6/16/23)
|
 |
Rolling with the puppies. (6/16/23)
|
 |
The Shelties still aren't entirely sure about this big baby. (6/17/23)
|
 |
Offering catnip to Hazel. (6/17/23)
|
 |
Piper was less affected by the catnip than she was by the presence of the dogs. (6/17/23)
|
 |
Avery is bewildered and distressed by us asking her to help put Lane to bed. (6/17/23)
|
 |
We return to the beach with a new puppy this time... (6/18/23)
|
 |
Hannah was less sure about the waves than Avery. (6/18/23)
|
 |
Cole is sure about the waves. Sure that he'd like to stay out of them. (6/18/23)
|
 |
Our walk along the beach got derailed by someone finding a fun place to bury themself. (6/18/23)
|
 |
Hannah may be getting some ideas for later from all this digging... (6/18/23)
|
 |
We all stop to watch the sand-burrowing antics. (6/18/23)
|
 |
It's hard to beat ending the day with a sunset viewed from a hot tub. (6/18/23)
|
 |
It's become a tradition to play with balloons at the beach house. (6/19/23)
|
 |
Avery loves it. (6/19/23)
|
 |
She's remarkably good at punching the balloons with her nose. (6/19/23)
|
 |
Time to head back out to the beach! (6/19/23)
|
 |
The puppies sort of wanted to play in the waves with Lee... (6/19/23)
|
 |
...but they had trouble keeping up. The waves don't come as high on Lee. (6/19/23)
|
 |
Taking a break from waves to flop down the beach. (6/19/23)
|
 |
Suddenly
Lee decided it was time to fly a kite, and the industrious child ran
back to the beach house to get one. (6/19/23)
|
 |  |
They got it up really high. (6/19/23)
|
 |
Hannah and Lee dig a hole together. (6/20/23)
|
 |
Time for another sunset. (6/20/23)
|
 |
The sunset looked like it was straight out of a Sega game like Ecco the Dolphin. (6/20/23)
|
 |
We walked much longer than we'd meant to, because we just kept staring at it. (6/20/23)
|
 |
We finally made it to the Hatfield Marine Science Center... (6/21/23)
|
 |
It was like a mini-OMSI focused on the ocean. (6/21/23)
|
 |  |
When you held your hand above this interactive topographical map, it rained. Lee constructed Crater Lake. (6/21/23)
|
 |
While Lee played, Lane grilled everyone there about how to get jobs in marine science. (6/21/23)
|
 |
Lane begged, so we went to the aquarium too. (6/21/23)
|
 |
The aviary was open for the first time in a while. (6/21/23)
|
 |
Taking Hannah to her first check-up. (6/22/23)
|
 |
Suddenly a lot of birthday parties. (6/24/23)
|
 |
Double dog tug-o-war. (6/23/23)
|
 |
Quite the trio. (6/27/23)
|
 |
The puppies think Lee should share their bread. (6/28/23)
|
 |
"I'm actually quite happy that I'm trapped." (6/28/23)
|
 |
Avery likes to police the way Lee and Hannah play. (6/28/23)
|
 |
Avery was jealous. (6/28/23)
|
 |
Total puppy chaos all the time. (6/28/23)
|
 |
A new milestone: controlling a motor vehicle. (6/28/23)
|
 |  |
Hazelcat4 and Hazel. (6/30/23)
|
 |
Proud Code Ninja, looking forward to learning more. (6/30/23)
