weekend

Here is another picture of Heidi. She's getting pretty big; today she was a 19 inch square. In the background you can see the piano we bought. It sounds and feels great.

We took Heidi to dog obedience class today, and she was worse than she has ever been--she wore us out and when we got home all 3 of us slept for 3 hours.

The dog trainer at our class today said that you can see how smart a dog is by hiding a cookie under a paper towel. A smart dog is supposed to lift up the paper towel to get to the cookie. We tried it tonight with a dog treat, and Heidi just ate a hole in the paper towel. We're not really sure what that means....

We also got to go over to our friends' house tonight to play Pictionary, which was a lot of fun. They had, however, forgotten daylight savings time, so when we called and said that we would be there in 2 minutes they were quite surprised. I guess it's good that we called.

Some more updates:

Yesterday we got to go help our neighbor out by fixing a gate that had blown down in a windstorm earlier in the week.

Friday we grilled some burgers at the squadron in the afternoon. Sarah made some fantastic baked beans, but the recipe was huge so we have several pounds left over. I was eating a lot of them as easy leftovers, but this morning Sarah asked me to stop....

Also on Friday Sarah fell while hiking and scraped her hand really badly. It's fine and getting better, but it looked nasty for a while.

Overall, today was a good day that was over much too quickly.
