Happy 4th of July!

I have to apologize, I haven't been taking very many interesting pictures lately so I've really slacked off on updating my blog. Plus, now that I have myspace I know less people are reading this. BUT, I know the ones who do read this are the most important (my mother-in-law, my sister), so I haven't given up on it completely! Since Sunday we have been dog sitting for my parents while they are off galavanting in Maine and Canada (I went with them last year, but couldn't afford to this year). She's a little more high maintenance than we're used to, she hates being left alone and she's not great at listening all the time. But she's been a pretty good house guest and she's very sweet. For our 4th of July celebration Chris went out and bought a grill, a very basic one, so we ate on our deck for the first time. The deck furniture is on semi-permanent loan from some friends who are staying in California for the summer while their new house is being built. It's very exciting to have deck furniture, even if we might have to give it back. Hope everyone had a good 4th!

Not a great picture of us!

She looks a little freaky in this picture, she was just turning her head to see what I was doing.
