Things I missed showing you

Even though I try to get pictures of everything exciting we do or see, I miss a few things. Not because I didn't WANT to take the picture, mostly because we've left the camera at the other house or most recently it ran out of batteries (lithium batteries are definitely a good investment).
Anyways, here's a few things I missed showing you:
  • Sunday morning at the new house we all responded to Madison screaming from the 2nd floor, pointing out the window to a COYOTE! He was walking along the treeline behind the house. WOW!
  • The sunsets here are AMAZING. Everynight the sky turns a vibrant pink & orange. Of course this is due to pollution in the atmosphere over Austin, but geez, it's awful pretty!
  • We have a glass top kitchen table now. The kids have been teasing the dogs by putting food on the surface of the table & watching the dogs jump up & bump their nose on the underneath side. It's a bit messy from the top & bottom, but it is really funny.
  • Last night Dillon turned the gas fireplace off & on with a switch on the wall. Macey was mesmerized by the flame which 'whooshes' from one side of the fake wood to the other. Her head would follow the flames as it started & went out. We had to stop when she started pawing at the hot glass. Bad idea.

Wow, you are brave. I do not recommend the glass table: at our house there are FINGERPRINTS on the top, and fingerprints/dog nose prints on the bottom!! Not only do you have to clean the top, you get to clean the bottom too, which in our case requires getting down on your hands and knees and crawling underneath, then getting wet as the Windex you spray mists back down on you.
