Autumn fawn photography

Perhaps this will help explain my absence from the blog...Autumn fawn photography

I am so excited about sharing this passion with other families. And nervous about how I will balance my life but I know that if I want it, we can make it work. Wish me luck!

Time Passes On

Last week was Chris and my sister's birthday (the SAME day!) and the following day was my grannie's 80th birthday. We went up to Lubbock this weekend for party celebrated by all of her 5 children and some of her grandchildren and Bowie represented her great grandkids. A long life...puts my 35 years and Bowie's 3 and 3/4 years in perspective. Sometimes I feel so defined in who I am and Bowie seems so big, but there is so much more ahead of us, world willing.

Bowie loves her shell, glass, and rock collections. So many pretties to look at and touch and balance.

Poop..Too Much Info

I won't scar anyone with photos of this. But Bowie poops in the backyard. It's barley 40 degrees, raining, thundering and he goes outside and poops on the grass. He's been doing this about a week now. About once or twice a day. Sometimes we bag it up the way we do with Tuba's little mounds. Sometimes Tuba beats us to it and she cleans it up; I wonder if she prefers cat or human turds?

I KNOW this is gross. I feel actually quite gross writing about it. But it's real. And we mamas need real stories so that when our children say that they want to take a dump on the turf, we won't feel so crazy. We'll know this too will pass (excuse the pun), that it won't make the dog sick, and it will serve us well on camping trips.

Boy's Dog

For awhile now, Bowie has been sleeping with Tuba's bed next to his. One day he said that he wanted Tuba's bed in his room. He pulled it from our bedroom across the hall to his room. We weren't feeling really confident that Tuba would settle in there. But she did. She's been sleeping in there ever since, waits at Bowie's door to be let in if Bowie is already asleep in there.

Bowie took this Polaroid of Tuba. We just ordered 8 packs of film after hearing that Polaroid was
discontinuing instant film production. We really should order more. He can blow through a whole pack really quickly.

And the photo of them together, Bowie wrapped his arm around Tuba's neck and asked me to take a picture of them. What a grin! And what a patient doggie. Tuba is almost 10 years old. But she runs and runs herself. She's an obsessive fetcher. Today we took her out hiking and swimming and she didn't tire a bit while out there...but has been completely pooped all evening.

Random Thoughts

"Disney is a nickname for previews and commercials. I don't like previews and commercials. Not ever."

"Happy Gun Day!"

"Only papas go to work?"

Some random recent quotes from Bowie. Funny boy.
