some new creations

A stylish, Atticus- proof, kitty litter box/ bench. complete with daisy. the best thing EVER!
An old plaster frame becomes our new (and much needed) bulletin board. used some cool fabric to jazz it up.

getting so big!

though he thinks he's still 8lbs!  tell that to our legs!

At Terry's request...

Sorry that we can't show a time- lapsed photo. Just imagine the hum of the motor and the electric glow of technology~

Jingle those bells

Well, I got my bells in gear this year and worked off some of that turkey by decorating the house for Christmas yesterday. Our Pom-Pom tree sure makes the house sparkle! Nyx has taken her spot under the tree as usual and this year she's helping to ward off Atticus and his wily tail from getting too near the glass ornaments. She and the scary piggy bank that makes a lot of racket are a great team! Also, the fire extinguisher is close at hand just in case the aluminum tree decides to ignite from the ultra- low energy lights (VERY unlikely, but we want to be prepared just in case the curse of the Pom- Pom returns). Sure is pretty!

Turkey, turkey, turkey!

We hope everyone had a fabulous and filling Thanksgiving! We had a lovely time with our friends Clare, Stephen, Jared and Maeve. It was quite a feast and, as you can see, we all declared the meal a culinary triumph!

Waaaah! I don't want to rake anymore!

It's been too long!

David , Atticus and I got to spend last weekend visiting Terry, Danielle. Jim, Eloise, Diane and Woody in the autumnal paradise that is their home in NY. We had a wonderful time talking and playing on the front porch, taking walks, playing football, eating waffles and building bookcases for their living room. And Atticus learned a lot about manners from his oh-so-patient cousin Woody!

We had lots of fun and are hoping that our next visit won't be too far away! Thanks y'all!
