Thanksgiving Weekend

Playtime and Photos at City Park

Feeding the ducks.

Making funny faces while I try to take pictures.

She's discovered the art of cheesing for the camera.

We were also super productive over the weekend. 

With Nana entertaining Cassidy, Jeff and I got to work.  We installed our first window by ourselves! 

It was uneventful and successful, with no fighting or bickering at all!  It took us nearly 6 hours, but we did stop for a yummy lunch at Jaegers!

We also reinforced the neighbor's back yard fence. 

About a week ago, after Jeff and Cassidy had left in the morning, when I went to let the dogs in only Sake turned up ... and I swear she was grinning.  I heard Baxter in the distance, yelping for help. 

I went outside to find him in the neighbors yard, unable to fit back through the fence where he had managed to squeeze through the space where a board had falled down.  I tried coaxing.  I tried bribing. I tried pulling.  The dog actually defied physics when he fit his pudgy body through that space.  

I got in the car, drove around the block, and knocked on the neighbors door.  No answer.  Luckily their side gate was unlocked, so I opened it and Baxter came running.  He thought it great fun that he got to ride in the front seat on the way home, and I swear Sake was laughing at him when we went back inside.   

So now we have a two layer fence reinforced with screws rather than nails, which the dogs seem to be able to pull (or push) out.

We also put up our Christmas decorations!
