A Guitar, Two Dogs and A Spider

We recently spent a lovely rainy afternoon at our friends house (Ray, Laura and Joshah) where Nicholas had a grand time. There were some other adults there, plus three kids and three dogs...two GIANT dogs that didn't mind Nicholas playing with them. There was also a guitar for him to "play."


Maybe he'll play the steel guitar one day??




Nicholas, as well as the other kids, spent a lot of time in Joshah's room where he loved climbing in and out of the dog kennel. At one point, there were three kids inside(all older than Nicholas) and Nicholas tried to get in as well....it was quite a sight.


Here he is trying to get every stuffed animal possible in there, along with himself.



That's enough of that...time to get out and get another one of Mommy's cookies!



The two big puppies are Shadow (black) and Pablo. They are cousins! They are both Labradoodles and love to play, especially with kids.



Nicholas had previously met Shadow and was talking about him about a week before we went out there.....we had no idea Pablo was going to be there...both dogs were very sweet.



Nicholas was laughing out loud as he watched the two puppies wrestle each other.



Here he is practicing for Halloween. When we ask him what a Pirate says, he responds "Arrrr matey." Sadly the patch could not be found when we were getting his costume on.....more pictures to follow!



Each year our adoption agency has a picnic held in Dallas. This year, you guessed it, they had face painter. Our bug loving boy wanted a spider on his forehead...more bug stories later!
