The One with Sunday Afternoon Carving

After church I was chillaxing on the couch watching X-Files while Chris was carving away. I took some pictures to document what will hopefully be his last time carving a tooth from wax. I love that he's still in his church clothes, tie and all. I guess it's good practice for the future.Hands at work. I'd trust him to fill my cavities :)(Good thing he finished carving when he did cuz a half hour after...

The One with What the Flip?

There's never a dull moment in South Pas! Picture this: it was 9:30pm on a Friday night.

The One with Abandoned Cars

I forgot to add these last two pictures to the end of yesterday's post, but that's okay, it gives me something to blog about today :)As we were driving home on the 710 we were almost to the end of the freeway and stuck in traffic. (What else is new?) I glanced over to the other side of the freeway and noticed that the cars were stopped. And they were spaced evenly apart, not bumper to bumper like...

The One with the Huntington Beach Dog Park

This post is going to be mostly about Joey, so I want to share a picture of dear Rachel first. Let's not forget about the cutest, fattest furball on earth.Yesterday after we cleaned cages and the apartment (it's a weekly 4-hour ordeal that goes so much better when we have a goal in mind - something to look forward to as we work, such as a trip to the beach) we loaded Joey, his food, his water, and...
