eva learns

Eva was hungry one night... so hungry that after we went to bed, she was chewing at the 30 lb bag of food. So Beka got out of bed and put the bag on the counter -- where Eva wasn't allowed to be. A little while later we heard the noise again but Doug got up for it. Beka mumbled as he was throwing his feet over the side, "Put it in the oven" and rolled back over into sleep. Doug put it in the hall closet instead.

By the next day, Eva had learned the new home of her precious food and rolled around on her back with her paws under the door. She of course stopped once Beka tried to take a picture, but she looked no less guilty.

stephanie's birthday!

We celebrated Stephanie's birthday with a great dinner out. It was FANTASTIC to catch up with everyone!

(All these pictures are Stephanie's)

spring!

Spring is finally starting to show itself in NY. We were early to an appointment at the Apple Store to fix Doug's laptop and so we stopped in Central Park for 20 minutes. Beka took over 60 pictures. There will be more pictures when the weather gets even better....

st. patty's on the town

We got a chance to go out for St. Patrick's Day. Doug donned the green, Beka the orange and white and we were off.

We went to a few different bars to sample and enjoy things Irish in nature -- liquids as well as some tasty Irish Whiskey Cake...

At one point Doug took the camera and tried taking photos. When he tried taking a photo of the empty plate, Beka told him she already took a picture of that. Doug then was a smart ass saying, "Plenty of people took pictures of the Grand Canyon but it wasn't art until Ansel Adams did it." The photo with the * in the corner is the photo Doug then took... ahem... In fact, all but one of the blurry pictures are courtesy of Doug.
