1st Birthday!

A few pics...he had a great time, although was more interested in the plate than eating his cake!!

364 1/2 days

I have to post some pictures from last weekend in Gloversville before our trip gets trumped by Fosters's first birthday! We had a great time at Camp Opening 2010, although I personally did little other than play with Carter and Foster (tough job, but someone's got to do it). The boys lucked out and got to do the awnings. It was a bit of a zoo with 4 dogs, including Cinco, but we managed to avoid any major dog fights. Kobi was very patient with Foster crawling all over him and trying to put his hands in his mouth. Hopefully Cinco will be so patient someday!

Betsy and Chris are on the way from the airport now and we'll have a small party with a big cake tomorrow for Foster. Chris and I then head out for a backpacking trip in the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" (http://pacanyon.com/). There is a 30 mile trail that we'll try to do leisurely over 3 1/2 days. It will be hard to be away from Foster, but we're looking forward to the adventure.

Hopefully I'll get some pictures up before then, but I'm not making any promises!

Dr. Little, Mom's Day, and Cinco

Last week was a pretty exciting week around our household. Chris did a spectacular job on his thesis defense and has earned his title of Dr. Little! It took 6 years of hard work and some pretty intense writing the past few months, so now he's been enjoying a more relaxed schedule and catching up on life in general!



On Wednesday, we brought home the new pup, and the name Cinco seems to fit him nicely. He is doing well around the house and has been lots of fun! He is learning his manners with the cats and is good with Foster. He is still a mouthy puppy, so he hangs out in the kitchen when Foster is on the floor playing. When he loses those sharp baby teeth and chewing habits, he'll be granted a few more privileges around the house and Foster.



Sunday was my first Mother's Day and was spent lazing around the house with Foster while Chris cooked breakfast, went grocery shopping, and did lots of projects around the house that I've been nagging him about. Wendy and Don came over for dinner with Lily, who was more interested in a ball than playing with Cinco. Foster was sporting a super cute vest knitted by my mom, Mimi!
