Happy Summer

Happy Summer. Here's a shot of Milo after a swim.

Remember to bring ya towel.

Social creatures

Everyone got to be social today, including the babies. Here's Finn playing nice with some colorful blocks and a fire truck of sorts.
Who knew she'd love these things. But she does.

Of historical note: we were enjoying the sights and sounds of Portland at the Chamberlain House, http://www.nps.gov/archive/gett/getttour/sidebar/chambln.htm. He lived in Portland during the later and last years of his life. Our clucky friends own the place.

Bird Brains

Okay. Someone had the idea to build a chicken coop. This person had the bright idea to build it far from its final nesting space. So, this person righted his wrong by plying his friends with drinks and then using their brawn to move the thing. Here's the coop is action.
Chickens arrive Wednesday.

Are you still using that?

Got to get at least one picture of the dog(s) on here before I lose interest in 'blogging.'

Makes me think of the gym and the line of treadmills. Doo's got hungry eyes for that pool. It's not that big of a pool, but then again the Doo's not too picky.

Finn trying to stand up part two

Another one, and the last, of the Finn trying to stand up series-Memorial Day 2010. Here's an earlier video of Finn crawling around the floor and taking no prisoners when it comes to objects, or legs, as the case may be.
She's no longer afraid of things in her way. She just goes after what she wants. She was like that when her rolling phase began. She was sort of like a sailboat in a way, meaning she would work towards the object by tacking one way and then the other. Think wind and current, but very much more like shag shag shag carpeting.

Finn trying to stand up

This is a video of Finn trying her hardest to stand up. She's got some things working against her: she's small and she's tired. Wicked tired, as they say in Maine.

Memorial Day 2010 is underway and we're having a blast. Finn got into the pool today, and she is really enjoyed moving in and out of the water with little difficulty.
Finn is preparing to walk, I think. She's exploring things that are stationed above her-think knee level for us bigger folk. It's fun to see how she manages to jack herself up.
