This is from a weekend morning. Madeline was all over the very first rays of sun hitting the deck.

I'd like to say she was standing at attention for me but she was currious about something on the grill.

My pretty little girl.

How can I not love this face.

Sooooo tired.

The classic big nose shot.

This was a few weeks a go. Cairo is the Boxers name.

We ran into a couple of the dogs from our street. I really like this picture. I'm not sure why.

Madeline is starting to figure out that I like the big close-ups.

Madeline and Jordan. Jordan seems to be saying "Can I get a little personal space here?"

Happy dogs. I don't think this was a set-up pose.

This was yesterday. Madeline and I ran into a Doberman rescue group. So we gave them the 50cent tour of the park.

I had lots of pictures of the Dobermans. They just all turne3d out like this. Madeline was always the one in the rear. She's wishing for longer legs for her birthday.

Madeline and Matty trying to take a stick back to the front gate. They'll naver make it as professional movers.

This is Madeline's patented through the check punch. If I didn't have a digital camera I'd swear this was double exposed.

Jordan and Madeline.

Playing in the sand is fun but umm, you have a little something on your chin.

"What are you digging for"

The sand is cool.

We were at the dog park for four hours. We came home, let Madeline soak in a nice warm bath and then she crashed on the coutch.

And today, Madeline got a back pack. If we're going to the boundary waters this fall, she's going to have to learn to carry her gear.
