catching up

My mom and I spent the weekend catching up on a girl's weekend in Maine. It was a great first trip to Maine for both of us. We spent our time touring small coastal towns, eating at fabulous restaurants, relaxing, and enjoying each others company! It was a great to be with her for a few days... can't wait till we go home this summer in July!

When we came home we found that Kyle had quite a productive weekend while we were out having fun! He started to tackle the project of finishing up the garage! It looks great, but still needs to be finished. We will work on it this weekend. And of course, I couldn't post without a picture of the ever growing Duke!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Duke!

Today is Duke's half birthday! I can't believe he is already 6 months old! He is getting so big, about 30 lbs. now and still growing. Unfortunately for Duke, his half birthday came with a visit to the vet.
A treat for the pup before his surgery. (Duke and I share the same love for McDonald's ice cream!)

Duke officially lost his manhood.... poor guy, but he is recovering like a champ! He is supposed to be restricted for exercise for 10 days and he is already running all over the house... not sure how to keep a puppy calm!

Spring is in the air!

The warm weather is coming and the flowers are in bloom! We are ready for spring on Spring Street. Duke is loving the warmer weather and has been enjoying long walks every day and playing with sticks in the back yard, unfortunately he also love digging up the grass! We have a lot of training to do when it comes to being outside... but at least he loves the outdoors! It is so nice to have him outside with us while we do yard work and cook dinner on the grill!
