Italian Greyhounds

I think most people presume Italian Greyhounds run around all the time at warp speed. My experience with my two boys taught me that while they may be CAPABLE of running super fast, they much prefer to hone their sleeping skills.

The grace of the breed has prompted several artists to include the dogs in paintings, among othersVelázquez, Pisanello and Giotto.

The breed has been popular with royalty throughout, among the best known royal aficionados were Mary Stuart, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria, Catherine The Great, Frederick the Great and the NorwegianQueen Maud.

Aliens in the Attic

Watching movies with kids makes it so much more fun. It was during Luke's weeklong birthday celebration. Can you tell? He's a wee bit tired.

This is Kimberley on the left and Luke on the right. Kids always gasp and laugh out loud. I love it!
Jack is on the left here with his new brace face =) ...Emma is on the right.

Look at those pretty blue eyes!
Karen, Kimberley, and Jack...
Me and Cathy... During Cathy's visit, she went to boot camp TWICE with Karen. I was amazed at her endurance. Anyone who hasn't already taken the class for a long time, usually just quits or gets ill their initial visit... NOT Cathy! She's tough as nails just like her daughter =)
Yep, these are two firecrackers!
Luke and Emma... and everyone really seemed to enjoy the movie. "Aliens in the Attic" may have gotten rotten reviews, but if you see it with a group of cool kids, you'll forget about those silly reviews and have a really fun time!
