Making the Birthday Quilt(s)
June – September 2008 These show the process of creating Andrea’s birthday quilt(s). The gift was kept a secret much to her chagrin, but was sure to be a blessing in the long run!

Wrapped Present and 23 Days to Go
September 2008 Twenty-three days of torture until Andrea’s birthday. But today she got to see and inspect the wrapped box. 🙂
Allen & Sketch Chasing Each Other
September 2008 These two goof balls can do this for long periods of time, much to the enjoyment of us onlookers… they’re so silly 🙂
Sketch & the Squirrel
September 2008 Not for the faint of heart! It doesn’t turn out well for the squirrel (poor little fella!), but Allen was VERY proud of his pooch 🙂 The other squirrel is a different one very much alive and happily Continue reading Sketch & the Squirrel
Cleansing
June 2008 Shot over a two-day period, this was simply us taking a moment to intentionally close some old doors to make way for what God has coming!

Drinking from the Hose

Tug with Ashley
July 2006 Who doesn’t love to play with Sketch? Even Ashley (who weighs about the same as he does) is happy to take him on!
Sketch & Daddy
July 2006 The guys are getting along famously – Sketch has discovered that Daddy gives him the toughest run for his money in tug and so he asks for Allen to play ALL the time. He is such a puppy Continue reading Sketch & Daddy
Our First Walk
15 July 2006 Sketch was finally getting well enough for us to take him for a walk – so the three of us headed off to the park for a fun (albeit hot) outing. Sketch particularly liked his new water Continue reading Our First Walk
