We have a new member in the family, Lilo. She's a miniature schnauzer and she's turning out to be a great pup. I had my doubts at first, since she seemed a little withdrawn and antisocial. It's amazing how fast puppies grow up, she's only about 3 months old in the photo and she's already quite a bit bigger. This shot was taken after I attempted to groom her for the first time. She acquired a small "racing stripe" on her back, but nothing serious. As I'm typing this I can hear her and Max playing in the living room, she loves him because he's the perfect size to jump on and tackle. Max is her favorite chew toy.Hey just an update....My wife still hasn't taken over or donated anything to the family blog. If this keeps up, don't expect these blogs to happen with any regularity or speed.
Things have been busy to say the least, getting ready for Christmas just adds to it a bit, but for the most part everyone is doing really well. We were to have this backyard football game with a bunch of adults in their late 30's to early 50's last weekend, but the rain nipped that idea. Most of us thought since we weren't getting NFL salaries and weren't playing for Notre Dame, we really didn't need to get that wet and muddy (we're wimps). So we all had fun just sitting around eating chili, drinking beer and talking about football instead. Good times.
Linda is really busy and practically working full-time again. Maddie is still doing well in school and with piano, and Max is hell on wheels, as usual. Hope everyone else is well too. We are planning a trip to Hawaii in February - should produce some nice photos and blogs. We'll see if Linda can chip in then......Take care. Eric.
