“Where did everyone go…”
Tex and Chloe enjoyed having everyone out for Christmas because there were so many more people to play with them. Now that people have gone back to their own homes, Tex ponders whether or not this means that he will get less dog treats and table scraps…
More Christmas Time
During the week before Christmas, Shelley had her 20-week ultrasound. When we went in for the ultrasound, they said that everything looked great with the baby, but that Shelley had placenta previa and that they might not let her fly on the plane. This was the day before we were supposed to leave for Alabama to see the Zubrick family for Christmas and New Year’s. By the end of the day they had definitely said that air travel wouldn’t be a good idea, so we had to revamp our whole holiday plans. We briefly entertained the idea of driving 22 hours to Montgomery, but then Shelley’s folks called and said that if we couldn’t come out to them, they were going to come to us. They had booked 4 last minute plane tickets to fly out to Colorado and we picked up Shelley’s mom and dad, brother and grandma from DIA on Christmas Eve. Although the weather wasn’t terrific for their visit (snowy and very cold), we had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to see them.

Halloween
Halloween is an exciting time for Andrew. This year he was a puppy dog and he got to go all around town showing off his costume. In the morning, he visited the Tiny Tots parade in Old Town along with many of his friends like Zosia, Lincoln, Ransom, and Lewis. After naptime, he came to Dave’s work and passed out candy to all the co-workers that he could find (and if they stayed long enough, some people even got 3 or 4 pieces of candy). In the evening, he visited with his friend Camryn across the street and with his cousins Jayson, Taylor, and Jocelyn. The highlight of his day though was giving out candy to all the kids that came to the door. He would watch eagerly out the window for them to come, often with a piece of candy in each hand ready to go. Once they knocked on the door, he would methodically place 2 pieces of candy into each person’s bag. Sometimes it was hard to be patient waiting for more kids, so in the slow times he would give dog treats to Tex and Chloe who were also dutifully wearing their Halloween costumes.

Chloe’s Birthday
Chloe celebrated her 2nd birthday in early September. Here she is enjoying her birthday cookie from Arfy’s Mercantile.
Pooch Plunge
August 20 marked the third annual City Park Pool Pooch Plunge for Tex. He had a great time running and jumping into the water and swimming around to fetch his yellow donut. Andrew enjoyed watching all the dogs and playing with Tex, too.
