First week of school!

 

Toby was sick with a runny nose this week. He layed around a lot.

Paul had to man a table to publicize their news site to the students starting school back up at the U this week.

Charlie got a hold of Paul's phone.

Toby likes to "bean up" with his legs into his shirt.

Last week of summer break, and it feels like fall!

 

I love that guy!

Walk around the herony pond. Charlie was in a bad mood.

A hawk outside our window. We have a little haven we've built in our bush where we have a couple of birdhouses we fill with birdseed, so we get a ton of little birds there. This hawk has taken notice.

Bountiful Pond.
