The Nephews

Both of my nephews came over this week for some Auntie time. I can say with certainty that watching one was far easier than the other.

The easy one has 2 legs. The hard one has 4.

Someone learned how to climb the stairs.


Just so he could play with the dogs.

I trust Gracie 100% around kids. She is so gentle and tiptoes around them.

And this is basically how my time with them was. Gracie bailed on me early and went upstairs for a nap so I was left alone with Winnie. Who found Gracie’s rubber chicken and followed me around with it everywhere shoving it into my leg wanting me to play.

Classic shot. Check out Winston’s face. He is all about the chicken. Note the intensity in his gaze.

But these brothers play constantly. It is so cute to watch.

I love my little Winnie but I was ready for him to leave. Not 10 minutes after they left, a package showed up on my doorstep. I opened it and found a copy of the book from the publisher that I had sold an image to last year. I find it so ironic that Winston is on the cover of a Safe Dog Handbook. It’s just too perfect. Oh Winnie, you know I love you. I’m just giving you a hard time :)

I’ll be in Las Vegas starting Sunday (for WPPI) and plan to be at the tradeshow all day Monday (and at parties the rest of the time!) I’ve been collecting cell phone numbers like mad and can’t wait to meet everyone!
