on vacation

I've been home two and a half weeks now. Rowan and I have been outside a bit, not too much, though. It's getting hot here. (luckly, not as hot as in Tucson). Rowan likes to play with Eric's little one man tent, and likes "getting all the bugs out."

The three of us went to see about a possible new dog to add to our family. She's very nice and calm. She's a three year old chocolate lab. She came home and is pretty good with Cari and Brynn, and fantastic with Rowan. The only one she's not sure about is our cat, Stan. She thinks he would make a good snack. So we're working on training, since she hasn't had much more than "sit". She's learning her obedience pretty quickly and is starting to warm up to the house. Her name is Tawny.

Rowan is pretty funny most of the time. He keeps wanting me to take pictures of him. "Take another one, Mommy"

Here he is in a video showing how a T-rex walks :)

We are having a great time and I should be home another week, maybe even a week and a half!
