So far, so good...

So... Today is my 41st birthday... Happy Birthday to me ;)

(yeah, it's the tacky--hold the camera out and take my own pic shot... but it is what it is... a face for a name... :) )

Update

Hiya.... :) So, we have decided the spelling of his name is Kai-son. He will be coming home within the next week; after his 8 week birthday.... The breeder has sent some updated pictures... This is at 6 weeks old aprox..15-18lbs, I think is what she said....

His coloring is black brindle... Much like Maxx but Kai-son will be heavier with the black....
And so not to leave Maxx out.... here are some updated of him from, of course, Bowers.



He's really showing his grey now...

And from a different perspective ;) Which,actually, I think looks nothing like him

something different

One of the young ladies from work is getting married. So we gathered in the office and threw a little bridal shower for her... Lots of good food... Well, one of her teammates, Nancy, made the cake... I just thought it was unusual and very pretty. All from scratch... real flowers

our favorite place

GET OUT!!! yes, there is a piece of serenity that still exists!! My absolute favorite place to get away... and it's in DELAWARE...South Bowers Beach... This is where Nate used to go as his "happy place" when he just needed to get away... well, He decided to share it with me too... :) --If they are too small to see, just click on the picture to get a better view..

One day we will get over that gully :)

No matter how many times we go out here it never seems to look the same because of the tides... We drive out on the beach.... drive down as close to the gully as we can get and pretty much camp out... for HOURS... he used to sleep over night, we haven't done that yet but I'm sure it won't be long until we do.... :)

The tide was coming in while we were there. When we first arrived the water was about 10ft in front of where he is standing... Soon it will be to where I am standing.

I was looking for a different picture rather than my basic beach shot... Nate suggested getting lower and taking it from a Different Point of View; so, since tide was really low we had a much different texture with all the stones and grass that hang out when tide is high... (yes, if you peer out far enough you can see the water ;)

Wow, I am sooo slacking on posting. I will catch up eventually...
A few new things going on... We have a puppy on the way... His name is Keison (not sure of the spelling yet actually... could be Kaison).. Pronounced K-San (lazy on the San.. it's not like "San" Fransicso..) I have no idea how to explain it in writing... LOL
He will be joining our family 07-31-09..... He almost looks like a mini-Maxx.. LOL
Maxx is an English Mastiff... Keison is a Brazillian Mastiff (Fila)

We went to a wedding on July 4th. Nate was in the wedding party... I have some pictures of that coming up... Not real thrilled with them...but more on that later
However, I did have the pleasure of meeting this incredibly AWESOME couple that I hope to get to know even better and to photograph their family.

For now... here are a few sneak peeks of Keison; sent and taken by the handler.
1 or 2 weeks old: Keison is far right of the picture (I know the blue picture says 3weeks in the corner, but I think that was an error because he looks the same age as the 1-2 week picture. I have some more recent ones I will upload later today.
