Weekend visit with delightful friends...and a serious baby.

This past weekend we braved the snow...and ice...and wind...and more snow to visit our positively delightful friends Jenny and Darren (and their new addition to the family, Maria) in Brooks, AB.

Now let me just say this...kids love me. They're amused by my antics. I mean, who isn't? This weekend, however, little Maria decided everything was serious business. She's normally got quite a watchful eye on the world, but there was something...peculiar...about that huge guy in the green shirt with that big black thing making noises in front of her face that just didn't sit quite right with her.

Hence, the repeated stink-eye I got from this little bundle of joy...

As per usual, click the pics for a larger version!


...and then April decided to join Maria in that evil-eyed glare. To be fair, April has had a few more years of practice sneering at me...


As always, Maggie was a complete angel with the tasty micro-human. Even when the child-being started tugging her fur, Maggie simply batted an ear, looked at her with mild amusement, and promptly fell asleep again.


Olive kept a constant vigil too. For many reasons, Maria was the most interesting smelling object in the room and must be protected at all costs.
I love our doggehs...





Children...they're watching you.
