BFFs

It has been awhile since the girls were featured on the blog. Don't worry-- they have not been forgotten! The big news this week is that all of the female members of the family are going on a diet. Apparently the girls decided to be sympathetic with me and gain weight also... a lot of weight. So, we are dieting. Well, trying to diet. Daniel and Carver should probably prepare themselves for some grumpy girls because, you know, being hungry makes you cranky.

Anyway, also new in the last couple of weeks is Carver's new found interest in all of the dogs (but baby Winston wasn't home for the photo shoot). He even often squeals happily when they walk into the room or get anywhere near him. He watches them, and laughs at them, or smiles hugely when he sees them. I LOVE this. They are his best friends :)

Carver even likes to "pet" them when they get close enough...which isn't all that often. The girls like to keep their distance, which is probably for the best. They have been great with him so far, but now that he is becoming more interactive they may not be quite so patient. The other day I looked over and Carver had a fistful of hair he had removed from Delia's tail... It is quite likely that our new job is going to be protecting the girls from Carver. (Baby Winston won't mind losing a few hairs to the baby-- he likes any form of attention).

Delia only rarely pays Carver any attention these days, but Lea does still like to check him out and lick his head or ears. Neither one of them particularly likes it when he cries. Though, I do often find them napping in the bedroom with him :)

( I really like Carver's expression in the above picture. Think he is already sick of the camera always in his face?)
