Mother's Day and Father's Day Gifts - Surprise!!

The girls did a photo shoot with Jigs. A lot of pictures to choose from. Enjoy!

We got these done so they would be ready in time for Father's Day and Mother's Day gifts.

Growing Jigs

Jigs has become a big part of our family. He is a fast learner but still has a lot of work ahead of him. He does know how to sit, lay down, roll over and speak. We are still working on stay and come. He has also put the cat on a very strict exercise program called "Chase!"He is still changing daily. He is getting more spots all the time and he is gaining a lot of height and weight. He is going to be a big boy.

Easter 2010

Here are some pictures of Easter 2010. We went to our annual Easter Egg Hunt at a friend's acreage (6 years running). The girls had a good time as usual. They love decorating the eggs every year. This was Jigs first Easter and he had a lot of fun meeting the other dogs at the hunt. Even Taryn, the Maplelea doll, got into the action.

Whistler 2010

The family went up to Whistler after the Olympics to check out a time share. We also checked out what was left of the Olympics. The girls went tubing with Todd and had a great time. No hiking up the hills anymore. They were on a moving sidewalk to get up the hill.

New York City Part Six

On our last full day in New York City, we decided to take a Circle Tour of Manhattan Island. We travelled on three rivers: the East River, Harlem River and the Hudson River. We started at the Intrepid Military Museum which is an old aircraft carrier. This was very close to where the pilot safely put down the plane in the Hudson River a few years ago.The wharfs are not in use anymore because there is no room for container shipping on the island so this is a unique way to reuse the wharf: A driving range!The World Trade Centre. The twin towers would have been in this skyline at the top of the picture.Staten Island Ferry Leaves from here.The famous Brooklyn Bridge. We travelled under many bridges on our tour.United Nations BuildingAt one point, we were told we might not be able to go up to the Bronx because of the tides. The tide was low enough that we had about one foot clearance.Old Yankee StadiumRight beside the old is the new Yankee StadiumThere is a famous children's book called the "The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge" This is the George Washington Bridge on the Hudson River.The Concorde at the Intrepid MuseumLucky Strike BowlingLast dinner in New York: Ruby Foos.
