How cute is this?!?!

Fun in the Snow

This past Friday we took a day trip up to Mt. Hood with my parents for a little snowshoeing and snow play.  Damian was so excited as I packed all the gear up the night before an even more so the next morning as we headed to the big mountain.

 Damian had so much fun sledding down the hill.  We took turns trekking up and sliding down with him.

 He even tried out Daddies snowshoes!

 Always nice to have someone available to carry you around...

Or to pull you!

Safety First!

Damian insisted the other night that he needed to wear his "Space Helmet".  I was able to get him to take it off eventually but he was awfully cute all cuddled up with his helmet on.

Meet Miss Maggie

Are we a little crazy for a getting a new puppy?  Yes, yes we are!  She is an absolute doll though and we are all already smitten with her.  She is a 3 month old rescue pup from the shelter, they believe she is a Retriever/Rottweiler mix.  How anyone could have abandoned her and her 6 siblings is beyond me-they were too precious.  Charlie is doing really good with the new pup and I think that as soon as the weather is nicer he is really going to enjoy having a new playmate.  Damian on the other hand is super excited and especially loves to give her treats and hugs.

 Yes she is wearing a sweater-I couldn't help myself!  This will probably be the only time she will be able to wear one as she will soon be too big.

 She is a super sweet girl.

 Damian insisted that I take a picture of him and Ma (the hippo) with Maggie.  

What a face!
