Calvin and Hobbes

Hi Cheryl!

Just wanted to check in and let you know how things are going with Calvin and Hobbes.  The boys are wonderful – I can’t even begin to tell you how much joy they bring to our life.  They are definitely momma’s boys!

The weather here is wonderful. . .but I can’t seem to get the boys back in the house!  They absolutely love being outdoors.  Hobbes didn’t hesitate to take the first plunge when we opened our pool this year – he jumped right in!  I plan on teaching the boys how to swim, and get out of the pool on their own.  (not that I would ever leave them unattended, but want to make sure they can get out if anything were to happen)  They finished their beginner training classes.  We did all behavioral training – not treat training!  They listen most of the time. . .Calvin likes to test my patience!

Todd and I left the boys for the first time last week when we went on vacation.  It was so hard – but I had a good friend stay at the house and take care of the boys.  They did just fine!  But they sure did miss us. . . my girlfriend is also a photographer, and she took some amazing pictures of the boys.  Just wanted to share a few – they are so precious!

Hope all is well with you!  Enjoy your summer!
