Charlie Comes for a Visit!!!

This week Matt and I are dog-sitting Charlie while Rob and Katherine are enjoying a wonderful week in Riviera Maya (their 5 year anniversary trip). We've really enjoyed playing and having Charlie this week....particularly evening walks and playing fetch with the tennis ball.

As you can see from the picture below, Charlie enjoyed playing in the back yard and sniffing all sorts of new smells. He also got to know the dogs next door....though they only got to play through the fence.

We had a hard time keeping Charlie in the bathroom one evening, so Matt suggested we just loop his leash to the faucet. It worked! :-)

Today we turned Charlie over to Grandma Mason (or Mimi as Claire calls her) and Claire. Below you can see that Claire enjoyed playing in our chair while we were visiting.

The Nursery

Matt and I have been working the last couple months on putting together the nursery for Baby Barnes. Its still a bit of a work in progress, but below you can see a few pictures.

We still need to pick out her name - and put letters on the wall, picture frames, and baskets for the changing table. Matt says its more pink than he ever thought he would see in any room in his house. I told him we could change it to Orange and Maroon....my first choice for nursery colors. He decided Pink was okay after all.... :-)
