Sorry!

I have been really lazy about updating for Dobby lately- sorry! Hopefully soon I will get back in the swing of things :)

Finally!

Dobby is pretty embarrassed that it has taken him so long to write something for Princess Coco. He's been trying to think of something good for a while. At last, he finished writing to her today- we hope she likes it!

(Sorry for the delay, school work has been piling up for me :) )

Dobby got mail!

Dobby got mail from his favorite little lady, Princess Coco. It was a huuuuge card in a pretty red envelope:

I helped Dob open it, and inside was a singing card! There was also a very long letter inside the card. Coco has beautiful, feminine hand writing and Dobby was excited to smell his sweetheart's perfume on the card.

It was a very important message, and Dobby immediately begged me to help him send a reply!

(Mom we have to write back to Coco right away!!)

Coco also included a little magnet for Dobby so that he can look at her beautiful picture whenever he wants. I put it nice and low on the fridge so he could see it :)

So now I have to help him send a reply! Stay tuned :)

Dobby's date

Dobby said he had a lovely time with his Princess Coco. He got home very late last night... so he is just sleeping all day today! You really wore him out, Coco ;)

Dobby gets ready for his date!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Dobby is thrilled to have Princess Coco for his Valentine again this year. I am such a proud mom- she is a real catch! I helped Dobby get ready for his big date:







(Sorry I am new to the video thing.. not sure why my camera split these up!)

Hope you all enjoy your day!
S and D

A Date with a Princess?

Dear Princess Coco,
Will you please go on a date with me tomorrow for Valentine's day?


Love always,
Your Prince Dobby

Dobby's Valentine

Princess Coco, who was Dobby's Valentine last year, has asked him to be her Valentine again this year! Dobby is thrilled to say 'YES'! Princess Coco is so beautiful, Dobby cannot resist her charms :)


Dobby is a big fan of love, and we wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day this weekend!

Snow Day!!

Hi everyone! The great news is that a friend has loaned me her old laptop to use while mine is broken. So we're back! Now I will just have to spend all afternoon catching up on all your wonderful blogs :)

We are snowed in here in NC. Things are starting to melt today, but Friday night and yesterday morning, we got about 9 inches of snow! Dob has really hated it (as you could have guessed) because he hates going out to potty in the cold. Today, though, we were both getting a little stir-crazy to get out of the house, so I decided we should try to go for a walk. It was a huge success, and Dobby actually had a good time! I think he was just really glad to have some exercise.


First we had to get all bundled up! Dob was not thrilled.


Then we headed out into the snow. Thank goodness he is light enough he could just walk on top of it; it was deeper than he is tall!




Too cute: Dobby with his pawprints :)


And Dobbyprints with bird prints!


I even took some videos :) All of these are with my new camera! (My old camera took really awful quality videos... maybe we will have more to upload now that I have a new one!)




Yay new camera, borrowed laptop, and snow days!

More computer troubles!

The computer has gotten to the point of no return and will be wiped sometime in the next week or so... luckily I have everything backed up and won't lose much. In the meantime, I won't be able to post- so here is a little something to tide us over until I can return! (Zinnie is visiting this week!)





We'll be back as soon as possible :)

Computer Troubles :( ...but New Camera :)

Hi all! My computer is in the shop for repairs, so updating might be sporadic the next week or so. I did get a memory stick for my new camera though, so I should have some good pictures to post by the time I get my computer back! For now, here are a few older ones.

I love that little tail peaking out!
What a silly goose. He gets comfortable in the funniest positions.

The Holidays, Continued!

Just a few more things I thought I'd share from Christmas :) I got a new camera but no memory card yet, so I didn't take many pictures at home in MD. Dobby enjoyed spending time with Gracie of course, and we had a great time relaxing with family.

Now we are back in NC! I was excited to come home to so many Christmas cards- thanks everyone :) Here is our card tree:


Now we're just looking forward to New Year celebrations!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a wonderful day :)

Snow Report

Last weekend (between Friday night and Saturday evening) we got 18 inches of snow! I am at home in Maryland with the family- this certainly wouldn't happen where Dobby and I live in North Carolina :) It has been a lot of fun though, being snowed in with my parents and sisters. Dobby always loves spending time with his friend Gracie, too!

He doesn't much like the snow though :) As you can see, it's taller than he is!!





Here is mom's snow stick! The front looks like a snowman and she marked the back with inch lines. This was after 3 days of melting!


Here is dad's pond, all snowed in. Most of it was ice, but he has a small fountain to keep water moving so that the fish can breathe :)


This is the path that my sisters created for Grace! She likes to run and play in the snow, but it was way too deep for her to play in without a little help.


She especially likes to stick her head in the snow and eat big mouthfulls of it. She has been so cute playing in the snow!


Mom's pretty holly plant covered in festive snow :)

Hope everyone else is enjoying the holiday season! We will definitely be having a white Christmas :)

The Grinch?

Dobby is not really a Grinch- he LOVES Christmas! Isn't this muscle-tee cute though? Zinnie's mom Connie got it for Dob in Florida. Christmas is just a few days away now!

Happy Holidays!

I am still way behind on all your lovely blogs, but hope to catch up today or tomorrow since we are totally snowed in!! We got 18 inches of snow yesterday. Dobby HATES it but it sure is pretty.

Looking forward to re-joining the blog world soon! :)
<3 S

Happy December!

Can you believe it's already December? Dobby and I are still around and still doing great- but also still very busy. I will start updating again soon, but for now I am writing Christmas cards!

I have some of your addresses already, but if you'd like a Christmas card please send me an email- I would love to mail you one! (Please find my email address at the bottom of the navigation column on the right>>>>)

See you all again soon!

Short break!

My world has gone a little- no, a LOT!- crazy lately. It's the end of the semester and I just don't have any free time or energy. I probably won't be posting much in the next week or two, but promise things will pick back up before the holidays :)

See you again soon!

Some Fun With a Green Bean

(Reminds me of Fausto!)

200!

Woohoo!! This is our 200th post!

Thanks to everyone for continuing to make blogging so much fun. I've enjoyed all 200 posts, and it's been great meeting all of you and keeping up on your blogs :)

Yipee!

Happy Halloween!

Time for our annual Halloween photo shoot!

Dob wasn't very happy with his costume... he is mad at me for re-using one we already had. I promised him I will go out this week to see if we can get a new one on sale for next year :) The last two years he was a dinosaur- so it's better than being a dinosaur 3 years in a row!
