Weekend at the Lake

Andy and Lisa made the trip up for the weekend. Their daughter Nora was born about four weeks before Ryan and we joke about arranging a marriage between them, so we thought it was about time they finally meet. Nora is crawling like a pro, so she was giving Ryan lots of tips. They got along very well and were the best of friends by the end of the weekend!



Introducing Otter! She's the newest addition to the O'Connell dog pack. She finally came to join the family after spending several weeks aceing puppy school. She's quite a sweetheart!

Dixie and Otter Swimming

Dixie, Otter, Toby, and Brandie running off the dock for a swim.

Most of the dogs lined up to play fetch. Total dog count for the weekend: 8 (3 goldens, 2 yellow labs, 2 chihuahuas, and 1 toy poodle.) That doesn't include the neighbor's golden who also spent lots of time with the 'pack.' It was a wild time.

Grandpa Andy and Granny Annie got Ryan his first little red wagon. The sun finally came out so he could test out his 'new wheels.' I'm sure it will bring hours of fun! Thanks guys!
