well, we had a lot to be thankful for this year. 2009 has been a great year for me, and even without a job right now, we've got nothing to complain about. we're quite blessed...
so thanksgiving was really nice this year -- our friends randy and nica came over, so it was still a fairly small table, but nice to share it with some friends. laura cooked probably her best turkey so far, i made maw-maw's dressing, randy and nica brought some sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, and amazing cranberries, and we finished it off with laura's homemade pumpkin pie.
they brought their pup, bali, to play with bruno. the boys were better than we expected, and turned into really good boys when the pig ears came out... :)

yeah, sorry about the lack of updates. i don't know what's been wrong with me, i think i've been thinking i'd slowly add all the stuff that's happened and got overwhelmed. so instead of doing all that, i'll just start from now on and try and be better. i promise.

so we braved the heat this weekend and constructed a little table for the herbs on our back porch. this had twin benefits: making a place for all the pots while keeping them out of bruno's reach.
here's the finished product; there are more construction photos on the facebook album.
and check out these april temperatures... 91 degrees already, ugh.

so to cap off the long weekend, we decided to take a quick trip out to jordan lake state park and go on a little hike with bruno. the trees are just starting to bud out, so it'll probably still be a while before it gets real pretty, but the weather was gorgeous.
about halfway through the trail, we had to turn around. the water level was ridiculously high (probably from last week's 5 day rain-a-thon).
and of course, this is what happens to your hand when you walk bruno for an extended period of time... ;)

so, it seems the dog sometimes just doesn't feel like going outside for a pee or a walk. thought these pictures were kinda funny (two different occasions)... :)

so, one of bruno's favorite activities when locked up in the bathroom with too much energy is to take it out on the newspaper. he thrashes the heck out of it and then passes out. it's annoying to clean up, but kinda cute... ;) (and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than books and furniture)
the other day, he was being a little brat, so we tossed him in the bathroom like normal. except this time we didn't hear any paper being ripped up. thought it was a breakthrough until we saw this:
he's getting pretty big as well, eh?

so we know bruno's got a lot of boxer in him, but we're not sure what the other breeds may be. did a couple of searches online and i think he's probably part lab, like his aunt shiloh.
here's some boxer/lab mix puppies. what do you think?

little guy's getting quite a bit bigger. he gained five pounds between vet visits (about 2 weeks apart)...

so it snowed last night. in north carolina?!?
we've got at least an inch on the ground and it's still coming down. hopefully all the crazies drive nicer today.
