Our Sweet Beagle

Sir Buster Brown Class III

2000 - 2009

Our first dog

Eight years later with our first child and our other dog Bugsy

We would often find ourselves saying "Buster is the best dog anyone could ask for." It was true. He was a great dog. We shared so many wonderful times with him. He had such a unique personality and was so smart. He adored Nate. He loved going on walks and being outside - even in the winter.

Today we put Buster to rest. Buster became sick last week and after several tests it was determined that he had a large tumor in his liver which could not be removed.

I hope he had a wonderful life with us. He brought us so much joy and happiness over the years.

Buster you will be missed!

We love you!

So the song choice this week is "We Go Together" from the Grease Soundtrack...because it seems like if Grant is in one room Bugsy is in the same room. They are like two peas in a pod. You will see on the video - one day Grant came laughing in the bedroom with Bugsy chasing him. It was very cute. Then Grant got the biggest kick out of hearing me say "Bugsy Bugsy Bugsy".

Please get in your "downward dog" pose and hold for 20 seconds.

Weekly round-up!

Finally a new dinner item this week....Grant will now eat spaghetti noodles for dinner. That would be a total of 4 different dinner items - soon we will have a full week of different dinners! He only eats either PB & J, corn dogs, toast ravioli or spaghetti noodles for dinner. Grant will eat all kinds of fruit and vegs but not many "main meals" yet.

Grant has also discovered that Bugsy make a great playmate. It is pretty funny to watch - I think Bugsy like it just as much as Grant.

We hope everyone had a wonderful week!

WARNING: Long video ahead!

Grant was all about sharing this week. Early in the week he had a cold and he has shared that with me...thanks bud!

There are many photos of Grant's "fish face" or what is the start of a long kiss. He also discovered the basement window sticks make great walking sticks. Grant loves to watch videos of himself....I'm not sure who he takes after there....so this week I recorded his reaction to watching one of the daily videos. Also one of his favorite things to do during the day is lock himself in the laundry room. If only I could get him to fold the laundry it would be perfect!

On Saturday it was 63 degrees outside! Amazing! So we got the wagon out and went for our first wagon ride of 2009. Lots of fun!

Have a great week.

A true friend is someone who can tell you to "put a sock in it" when needed....or in this case "put a peg in it".

Photos from last week

Here are some photos from playgroup last week - which I missed when I did the weekly video.

Here is Grant and Caleb playing in the purple & pink princess tent....I'm sure they liked it because of the horse on the side......

Here they are taking a ride in the coolest wagon train I've ever seen!

Thanks Carrie for sending me these photos!
