We have a puppy! And his name is Humbao! He’s an English Cream Golden Retriever, he’s eight-weeks old, and we love him.

We drove to Bend, OR to pick-up Humbao, a drive that would take six-hours from Seattle without stops. We took stops. A lot of them. It took us all day to get home.

OK, we took one stop to take in the scenery.

Doughnuts in Portland called us into the city for a brief moment…and they let us bring Humbao inside!

We surprised Lola and Tito today too!

Cousins unite! Allison, Noelle, Caleb, and Eva stopped by for a few cuddles. Humbao totally won out with a soothing massage from Noelle.

And a pajama day! Take that routines of life, we’ve got a puppy to love.

Flashback alert! We’re going back in time to November during Thanksgiving.

Snoopy’s Home Ice in Santa Rosa! Meryl focused on figure skating form, while Holmes decided to forgo form in any form…just skate already!

What fun it was (mostly for Frank and myself) to go to the Charles M. Schultz Museum. What are the Sunday comics?
