Ryan's parents came to visit this weekend. We went to a Tiger/Sox game Saturday night and saw the fireworks. Here we are drinking our morning "coffee" which is actually Diet Pepsi (Ryan's mom can't live without it =)) We ended up having to keep Daisy on a tight leash because she took a big leap off the deck right into the flower garden and had a field day.

She Is Growing Up So Fast

Daisy is 4 months old now. We can't believe we have had her for 4 weeks already!

Ryan's Attempt at Farming

It has been a struggle, but the plants are still holding on.

There is actually one tomato that is about ready to pick!

What?

Date Night

Enjoying our ice cream from part of brother

Will and his wife Kristin's "date night" gift.

Ummm. . .

Ryan and I bottling our Succo di Goot - Italian Brunello vintage 2008. This was a birthday present from Ryan. We selected the grapes which were fermented for over 8 weeks in this barrel. We designed our own labels using a photo from our honeymoon in Jamaica.

Of course, we had to taste it first!

Daisy's First Brushing

No, this is not a toy.

Laying Around

It's About Time!

I no longer have to use the styrofoam cups and string or chisel my calendar into a stone tablet.

Daisy's First Road Trip

We drove down to Indiana for the weekend to the Elarton/Harper annual trip to the lake. Daisy slept during most the car ride and loved all the extra attention from all the family.

Brianna with Grandpa G.

Congrats to the newly engaged couple!

Kristina was serenading us with her guitar.

Brooklyn was trying to hold Brianna in their new Yankees hats, but Brianna was not quite sure what to think of this.

Miss Daisy Mae

Our little bundle of joy. Miss Daisy Mae Elarton is a little over 3 months old. We took her to the vet on Monday and she already weighs 21 lbs! She is quite the handful, but who can resist those puppy dog eyes. . .
