Welcome Home Tarzan, Welcome Home!





















Well it's been an exciting weekend. We had decided we were going to breed our mini dachshund that Kya has recently name Sassy, but the plan was to use a stud service. However with the shortage of dachshunds in the area that just wasn't going to work so we found a stud in Missouri. Kya named him Tarzan. Tarzan flew into Boston on Friday and is the cutest thing ever! He's a day younger than Boston. We still don't have Sassy until the end of the month, but we do have OUR VAN BACK YEAH!!! Today we took Tarzan and headed up north back to Barton VT. I am so glad to have my van back... even if it does smell like vomit because some water got in the seat tracks and the girls left some grapes and other treats in the back seat. We took our time going up and back to VT, upper NH is so beautiful! We stopped at some great places, like Boise Rock where some guy traveling survived through a storm by killing his horse and sleeping in the hide which froze shut and a few days later people found him and cut him out with axes. We also had a picnic at Mount Lafayette . The view was so pretty and we were grateful the darkening gray clouds above didn't let loose while we were there. Todd went back to his Oregon roots and went hiking through the woods down to the water to get some pics. I stayed with the kids since there was no trail and too many little ones to hold, plus straight down hikes in flip-flops was never my forte. We would have loved to stop at some other places but we reaped the consequences of having a dog, and pulled numerous U-turns through state park entrances when we saw the sign "No Pets". Despite the dog haters I am so grateful for our opportunity to live in this beautiful state. I Love it here! I can't wait to see where we end up after school... but I have to say I wouldn't mind staying.
