How To Sniff Butts Through A Fence

This past weekend Oreo finally met some neighbor dogs. We were out back sitting on the porch with Jennelle's parents when Oreo started talking up a storm. Our neighbors behind our house had let their two dogs out and Oreo wanted to meet them. It is hard to sniff butts through a fence (believe me I have tried ;) ), but they managed. It was really cute. The three dogs took turns sticking their heads through a hole in the fence, but then I think Oreo actually sniffed a butt. Amazing. Pure doggy genious.

Look at that tail go! It is a blur!

And the grand finale!

It took a while, but she managed to do it. She is definately a persistent little thing.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent the weekend in Austin visiting family and friends.

On Saturday, Greg went to the UT vs. North Texas game with Travis while Jennelle drove to the exciting town of Waco to have lunch and spend time with Gretchen and Ashley. Gretchen shared stories of her new life in Bangs, TX (pop. one stop light) and Ashley shared photos and stories from her first year working abroad in Bangladesh. It was great to spend time with both. The last time Ashley was home in Texas was for our wedding nearly a year ago so there was a lot to catch up on in each other's lives.

The rest of the weekend we spent time with family. Surprisingly enough, not one game of Settler's was played! Very unusual for that bunch.

Greg also had some quality time with the family dogs as you can see below.

Since our new furniture didn't quite fit in our car, Travis was persuaded to help us out. Upon arrival to SA and after unloading all the boxes, Oreo and him had a fun time wrestling. She may be small but she definitely held her own. What a tough girl!

Home Sweet Home

So yes, it has been a long time since we last posted to the blog. And yes, part of it is because we have joined Blockbuster Online and have been addicted to watching "24". But we have now finished watching Jack Bauer save the world yet again (this season ;) ) and are ready to keep up with Lauren's demands. haha

First off, here are some more photos of the house:
