August Fun

This last part of August has been a lot of fun around our house - we celebrated el Guapo's 7th birthday and Harper is crawling now! Guap is growing old gracefully so far, and the only part of him that shows his age is the gray in his chin fur. He's still just as rambunctious as ever, and acts like a puppy the second he sees a ball. Harper started crawling at day care today - I stopped in to see her over my lunch break and she saw me and crawled over to me! I was shocked and when I exclaimed "Ohmygosh! She's crawling!", the teacher said nonchalantly "Oh yes, I guess she is." So it's not a big deal to them, I guess they see things like this every day. I'll try to get it on video for the fam who wants to see...

We've had a resident moose family in our neighborhood this year with two calves, and we see them in our front yard often. Here's a few photos of them over the summer - they have grown a ton.

For his 7th birthday we got el Guapo a new bed - he loved it immediately!

We also got him a new bone and birthday candle!

After Eagle River Triathlon - it was slightly chilly in all the rain, but it was perfect weather to not get too hot!
