To steal from a friend..."Wordless Wednesday"

Happy Birthday, Ms. Calypso!

Today is Calypso's 16th Birthday!  I've had her since I was 13, and we've been through a lot of moves and major life changes together.  She's been the most wonderful cat a person could want, and is still going strong today, having lost none of her attitude or vocals.  

One Year Down

So the other day, we celebrated our one year anniversary.  This year has passed by in a blur, so it's hard to believe we already have a year of marriage under our belts.  Scotland almost seems like a dream, and I can't wait until we go back.  Here's a couple of photos from a year ago (all photos by genjip).

And here is us on our one year anniversary.

We celebrated by going to Green Bluffs, where there is over 40 farms, most of which are open to the public.  We got apples, peaches, nectarines, onions, garlic, apple cider made from the first apples of the season (deliciously tart), caramels made from local fruit and we did a wine tasting at Townsend, and brought home a bottle.  We enjoyed a nice meal outside for dinner and took a small sip of Scotch out of our Quaich in remembrance of the wishes we and our guests made at the wedding.  All in all, a nice way to celebrate.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Today, the pups turn 1.  In honor, here is a bunch of photos showing them from the first night we brought them home at 7 weeks, to them celebrating their first birthday!

The Baz-man

Showing off his roaching skills from an early age

One of our few pics of them together not in a blur of playing

Basil showing off his couture hair-style

The first night we brought them home

Basil will use any height he can get to his advantage...including my back

Nero is a dirty fighter

But now it's Basil's turn to sneak up on him

I don't know how Nero is so photogenic!

Nero loves giving kisses

Rowr!

"We really are innocent little angels"

"What?  This laundry isn't for us to play in?  But it's so fun!!"

See any similarity between him and the ornament behind him?

They all know when a present is for them

'How's my hair?"

So happy birthday, boys, we love you!!

Nero showing off his toy-snatching skills.  He lets Basil do all the legwork to get it, and then he just steals it.
