this is barnabas

barnabas, world
world, barnabas

he is the newest boekell-
paul's early surprise gift.
{{ & a darn cute one at that!}}

barnabas:
BAHR-nə-bəs
"son of encouragement"
also known as
peebody
&
"barnabas, NO!"

he is a bloodhound.
and a trouble maker.
and a wrinkle factory.
he has puppy breath,
ears for miles,
the sweetest eyes,
&
an impossibly irresistible disposition.

and, at this very moment, i think i just heard him fall off the couch...

hold on.

yep.

he did.

but he's ok
(and already back asleep).

and here are our other two cuties:

armi & jewels,

nemesis 1 & 2.

they are clearly up to no good.

i better go check on barns.

PS. he is definitely my friday's obsession! :)

here.

i'm back from vacation

argh.

no, actually, i'm really happy to be home
but....
i'm busier than a cat covering poop!
(thanks mamaw for the good ole wise sayings!)

i'm off to bed,
just wanted to check in
and ask you to check back...

i feel a huge outpouring coming on.

thoughts (and photos) on the lake...
& this upcoming week of day camp...
& way overdue "obsessions"...
& updates on the garden
(yes, the flowers are still alive!)...

AND

a new Boekell family addition-
but NOT a baby...yet

{{here's a sneak}}

:)
