Thanks Giving

What Momma and Poppa have most to be thankful for this year....




As we head into this Holiday week, don't forget to count your blessings (especially your little ones!)

Visiting Momma at Work

Last week I visited Momma at work. Momma's Administrative Assistant Sue was retiring and seeing me was her going away present!

I got to meet many of Momma's co-workers. Here I am, flirting with one (I know she thinks I'm cute!)



Here is Jake, showing me how to access Sesame Street from his computer. Wonder why Momma and Daddy never told me about this??


This is Sue, Momma's Admin. She must look so radiant because she knows she's retiring!


Looking out the window near Momma's office...wow, it's a long way down....


Don't sneak up on me like that - not when I'm near the window!


Sitting at Momma's desk. Momma's coworkers call the wall behind her desk the "Wall of Fame" - I wonder why???


Momma showing me how it's done....


Here I am, showing Momma how it's REALLY done!

Training Daddy....See Daddy, if you set a boolean right there, your program will work just fine!


Step aside, Daddy...just let me do it so we can go to lunch!


You want me to do what?? By when??? Are you kidding me??


Aunt Sue, hope you enjoy retirement! Come and see me, since we both have a lot of free time!

Halloween Pics

Anyone in need of a rescue???



I'm not so sure I like this... Who are these people and why am I meeting them for the first time dressed like this??


Uhh...you don't know me but - can you give me some candy?


Momma, can I PLEASE eat just one!


Sugar high is kicking in...I'm actually smiling!


And then, the sugar shock...


Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

You gotta love fall...

With our intermittent Indian Summer Days, Momma and Daddy took me to the park!

Riding the.....whatever animal this is supposed to be!


Here I am on the duck! Quack Quack!


Why do my parents take so many videos??

Get ready Momma, here I come!


Get ready, Daddy! Here I come - AGAIN (and again and again)!


I love the sound of leaves crunching under my feet!



I like playing in the leaves even better!


The yard's a mess...I better get to work!


Maybe I'll just pick the leaves up and put them in my bucket....




Back inside, I reinvented the meaning of "walking the dog" - it's just as much fun inside as it is out! Here I am with Zippy, ready to go fishing! All I need is my dog and a cooler!


Huh? I should be walking the dog outside??

Maybe I will just empty the tupperware drawer, instead....


Enjoy the fall weather! It won't last much longer!

Carving the pumpkin

I got to help Daddy carve my first pumpkin this week!

So, where do we start?

Uh huh....I see....


Let me try!


How am I doing??


The Puppies are cheering me on!


I need to really get in there to get this job done!


So this is what's inside! Cool!


The finished product!

This is Jack, all lit up!


Here I am in my Halloween bib that Ryan's parents bought me last year, right before I came home!


Lastly, a video of me in action! Happy Halloween - Be sure to check back for pictures of me in my costume!

One Year as a Family!!

Today marks one year since the day I was placed in Momma and Daddy's arms. Momma said she can't believe it's been a whole year, but I feel like I have been here forever! To celebrate, we watched the video of our first meeting....boy, was I little!

Momma holding me for the first time!


Daddy holding me for the first time!


The ride from TWCA back to Taipei - I am happy to be with my parents!


Our first picture as a family....


Today as a family (Momma still likes the striped shirt!)


Here I am, one year later! Momma and Daddy said I am as cute as ever!

Last weekend, when the weather was still nice, I helped Daddy do some yard work. Here I am with my broom...

This sure is a big pile of leaves....


I better use two brooms!

Collecting acorns, after the sweeping was done...


While I was working, Zippy was chasing moles...I think she found one!


After such a busy day, I went back inside to relax and catch the game...


Not only have I been collecting acorns during daylight hours, I have also been out after dark filling my bucket...there's a lot of work to be done before winter hits!


Look at what I found...what is it?? This is too big to be an acorn....


On a different note, last weekend we went to visit some friends. They have TWO (not one, but TWO) Welsh Corgis...I like being surrounded by dogs (especially when they are little, like me)!
