Stoli's 2nd set of stitches

So I went to the West Fest in downtown Fort Collins with my fam and Sam's. And when I got back Stoli was upstairs laying down with a HUGE quarter sized gash on his inner thigh. I still can't figure out how the heck he got it. Of course he ended up needing stitches. Here he is a week later showing off his new bandage. It was a pain keeping it covered so that he wouldn't lick it. Poor greyhounds are just not built very tough. This was the 2nd time we've had to get him stitches in the year we've had him. He seems to be healing nicely and should be up and running around shortly.

Garden of Ainsworth

This spring Hahn built two raised garden beds where we planted tomatoes, peppers, carrots, lettuce, squash and pumpkins. As well as a spot for corn behind all of that. Little did we know just how much produce we would get! We had more summer squash than I knew what to do with! And now that I've seen just how big pumpkin plants can get, (We assumed big, but not quite THAT BIG) we'll make sure to spread them out a bit more next time! We sure had fun watching it all grow and tending to it, and sharing it with everyone. Can't wait to do it again next year!
One of our giant pumpkins - we had 2 that ended up quite large. One weighed in at 35lbs, the other at 43!


Fall harvest.


Nanoo got us a Rose of Sharon bush for the front yard. We weren't even expecting it to bloom the first year, so it was a nice surprise. It can get up to 10' wide and 10' tall - so I think it will really fill in that space nicely!

Surprise!

We finally made the announcement that we have a baby on the way! We are due March 4th 2009! The super exciting part of it is that Sam and Ed are also expecting and are due just a couple weeks before us! It's so much fun to have someone else to experience all of this. (And have someone to complain with :)
My mom wanted to document our progress so far, as well as Hahn and Ed's too! :)
