It's been 10 amazing years together! We now have a beautiful baby girl. Doug works as an "immunochemistry staff scientist" at a biotech company. Amanda is enjoying her job as a third grade teacher. Our pup, Charlie keeps us busy and entertained!

A Day in the Life...


Good morning! What are we going to do today?



Boring! I guess I'll chase my tail!



Ooh, what's over here?



I want to go for a walk!



Seriously, I really wanna go on a walk!

Garden Statue

Ah, Charlie. Things are never boring when he's around. Today, we got our first request for a play-date for Charlie. About five neighbor kids came to the door and asked if Charlie could come out and play. How cute is that! We let them babysit him for a while, and he was in hog--er, dog--heaven. Later on, while he was in the backyard, we figured we'd check on him. This is what we saw:




Notice how he doesn't move. I think the neighbor kids must have taught him "statue".

(Not so) Extreme Home Makeover




Doug and I painted our living room and our kitchen. One day I decided we needed to paint, so the next day we did. I am a psycho. Anyways, what do you think?

Fun With Judy!

This week (Spring Break, baby) I got to spend some time with my sister, Michele, and my niece, Judy. Here are some stinkin' adorable videos of our fun!







Aunt Kathy taught her this one. She loves it! She has the attention span of a 15 month old, however. Go figure.


Here she is stealing my purse.


She learned how to say my name! Hear that? "Amanda!"



Notice how she always goes for the camera when she sees it. I let her take her own video, but it lacked a certain artistic quality. She still needs to hone her craft.

Speaking of Volcanoes...

On Sunday we drove out to the volcanoes and went for a bit of a hike with the pup. It was a lot of fun. We got schooled by a runner in a red jacket that made us eat his dust, but we weren't racing. Charlie went all crazy at the top. I think he just got excited because it was windy. We had a lot of fun with the self-timer on the camera--we never quite got it right. Oh well. Here are some pics of us at the top:

How much is that doggie in the window?

I think every dog has to go through this stage. Charlie saw his reflection in the window the other day and started going crazy. This is actually when he started calming down.
