Nate rides a bike!


So today we took Nate out for the first time to ride his bike. The neighbors gave him their old bike and he has been dying to try it out. He still hasn't quite got the whole idea of pedaling yet though - but not bad for the first time!

Avery - 2 weeks in

So it has been two weeks since Avery was born and everyone seems to be adjusting well. My Mom and Dad look pretty tired though, and I have noticed that I haven't been getting as many walks as I used to - I will have to have a word with them about that. Anyway, Avery is looking really cute nowadays, although we can't quite decide who she looks like.

Meet Madison, Nathaniel and Avery


I guess I should first introduce my brother and sisters. My oldest sister, Madison, is 6 yo and has started the first grade this year. Wow, I remember when she was just a wee baby. Some of her favorite things include horses, anything having to do with arts and crafts, and playing with her friends. Here is a picture of Madison with her friend Catherine (Maddie is on the right).












My younger brother Nate just turned 2 yo on August 31. He is quite the dare devil and a big ham for the camera. Here is a picture of Nate taking a bath - acting silly as always!












Last, but certainly not least is my new baby sister Avery. She was born on September 26, 2007. She is very cute and cries a lot, and boy does she like to eat! Here is a picture of Avery when she was getting ready to leave the hospital - this was the first time she had ever worn a dress.

I'm Finally Blogging!

Whew - after months of procrastination, I have finally gotten my blog up and running. Now, what to say. I guess I should first introduce myself. My name is Winston and I am a 3 yo Basset Hound. This is a recent picture of myself here to the left. I have several hobbies, including sleeping, eating, cruising garbage cans, going for walks, peeing on fire hydrants and smelling other dogs butts. We recently moved from Sherwood, WI (a real small town outside of Appleton, WI - 30 miles south of Green Bay) to Cary, NC. Boy, talk about a weather change. I went from 6 months of freezing my rear off to 8 months of sweating to death. I have to say though that I much prefer the weather down here. Right now we are living in an apartment, but my folks just recently sold their house and now we are looking for something new down here. I am excited to finally get my own yard again, however I am going to miss all of my four-legged friends here in the apartment complex. Hopefully where ever my family decides to buy, there will be lots of dogs there.
