Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Boxing Day ...


Patient father with daughters

Today was "boxing day" ... the day after Christmas.
The day on which we got together with 3 of our children and their families.
Lots of pizza!!
There were grandchildren playing all over the place!
And the adults had a wonderful time ... mostly talking.

Part of this evening's entertainment was a sumo wrestling contest ...
a LOT of fun was had by all!
Due to recovering from a torn hamstring ... I did NOT participate.

Auntie J and two nieces compare heights.
Auntie is in her early 20's ...
the nieces are half as old

Brice shows off his headstand.
Very stable and well balanced.

Cian avoiding the camera

Granddaughter with MP3 player ...
just like 1001 other kids this year.

Thanks for sharing all the photos...kids sure grow up fast when they are someone elses !!! That was REAL GOOD of you not to play this time...I hear wheel chairs are not real fun if you actually HAVE to use them !!!
