Conquering fear...

We had lunch at Mom and Dad O's on Sunday afternoon and had the delight of watching Jake and Luke swim IN THE POOL! People - this NEVER happens! They LOVE the lake and the ocean down in Bay Head...they can never seem to get enough of it! It seems that the dogs are terrified of the steps leading into the pool. Andrew had to push Luke in from the steps and then he LOVED it! Jake, on the other hand, had to be carried in and was still terrified!

Here are some fun shots of Luke's graceful doggy paddle/fetching skills and Jake's sloppy doggy paddle...










Ahhh, the lovely scent of wet dog...

Yummy...

Jon and I tried a new recipe for dinner tonight and it was a SUCCESS!

Greek Grilled Cheese


We even used our handy-dandy panini maker!

Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it:


1 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened

2 slices whole wheat bread, or your favorite bread
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

2 slices Cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon chopped red onion

1/4 tomato, thinly sliced

Butter your bread, heat a skillet over medium heat. Lay buttered side down in skillet, then layer the feta cheese, Cheddar cheese, red onion and tomato. Top with the other slice of bread with the butter side out. Fry the sandwich until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side.

It's August?! Already???

I simply can't believe it, peeps! The summer is coming to a close. It's August. Let's recap the last few weeks...

We had the privilege of having dinner at Bonnie and Chris' new house in Long Valley. They own a beautiful home on 4.5 acres right on the Raritan River.

The guys debating who's taller...again.


Ella being her cute self.



Jon finished installing Sirius in my car.



We also had a chance to have dinner at Mom and Dad A's when Jenn, Paul, and Chloe were around before their Maine vaca. We had an AWESOME dinner (Thanks, Mom!) and had a fun time watching Ella wig-out after overloading on M&Ms. Dad A. decided to pull the "Give me a kiss and I'll give you an M&M" trick. He couldn't resist her kisses!
