www.freecycle.org is the awesomeness that is the future. It is a message board that you subscribe to (through your town name), where people post things they are giving away, and things they need. And money can't be involved, it's all free stuff! Today Taylor and I picked up an electric organ from a very nice lady and her two kiddies. So great!
Our acquisition of this amazing gem is definately the best thing that has happened to us in 2008. Moma isn't as impressed, though, because the noise hurts her little thick skull:
And take a look at these buttons. We have the Wow-Wow, Manual Attack, and Add Main to Leslie buttons, among others. I'm practically melting with the coolness of this thing:

Time for Teething!

A sheepskin woolie, titanium cooking pot, Elephant, Squirrel, and Husky wish you all a happy New Year:
Question: What do all of the above objects have in common?
Answer: They are quickly being mauled to nonexistence by Moma (although the titanium pot is withstanding the pressure pretty well).

The Well-Disciplined Mind

We are very scientific in our training approach for Moma. Knowledge over sentiment, I always say:

Deck Them Halls With Boughs of Jollies

'Tis the season for some folksy romancing!

Nip Nippers.

Our puppy, Moma, went nutty in the woods the other day when we were Christmas tree hunting. This picture is right before Taylor cut down the tree... and right before Moma insisted on being at the base of that tree, pouncing at the moving sawblade. She looks calm here, but it's only because she was saving up her craziness:
I'm sold! I'm totally into our new dog! And I know that makes me almost like those people who don't have kids, so they pretend their dogs are their kids- but look at her! She's a doll!

Cakes and Cakes and Cakes Galore!

My little sister is 23! And not little anymore!
We went to the beach for her birthday party, and it was great. My mom made her famous chocolate birthday cake adorned with candy treats, but the 4 hour drive to the coast wiggled the cake and frosting all apart. So great looking:
But look how tasty and appetizing it looks with the legendary candle train and happy birthday candles:

A puppy! For us!

We got a puppy! So great! We have been patiently waiting for three years the right time to get a dog, and now the right time is here! She is half husky, half border collie, and is the best puppy ever. I'm going to stop now or else I'm going to start sounding like people who treat their dogs like they are humans- it's so annoying, but I can understand the impulse now.
We got her in Eugene yesterday, and on the drive home the only place she was happy was by Taylor's feet, and he was driving. We know, we know- that wasn't safe, but what are you going to do?
She also liked sitting down by my feet:
We have a puppy! And she's the best!
