normandie "the dude" chompsky

we weren't actively looking to adopt, but when we were approached by a family in need, we felt we had to consider. clearly, it wasn't a difficult decision to make, and now, normandie, norman, norm, "boo boo," "boobs (!!)" is here to stay! he is a 2-year old, 14-lb, terrier-chihuahua-mix. he's super curious, spunky, happy, and a total joy. we are in love...
RIP geeg
HELLO norm

i'm back

well, hello there!!
i'm back (i think) after a looong break. it was so nice, but it feels right to be back. thanks for being patient!! a lot has happened in the last 3 weeks: our 1st wedding anniversary & the adoption of normandie, a 14 lb. 2-year old red head dog. i hope you are excited to see. and i am eager to know what have you been up to lately?

summer is here, happy 4th!

it feels like summer has officially arrived (although, i loved having weeks and weeks of that wonderful june gloom). this weekend we'll be watching movies in the backyard on the outdoor movie screen nick made 2 years ago, visiting friends at the beach & bbqing. we really want to savor this time because it's going to be a busy summer (both fun & not so fun).
