Who knew milking a cow could be so much fun!

So before we left the Palouse we had the opportunity to spend an evening at a ranch just outside of town. Some friends of ours are managing it and gave us a taste of what it is like.

Karen, our friend Molly Waters, and Lovey the Cow

The Green Frog

I had the opportunity to play at the Green Frog Cafe in Palouse, WA a week ago or so. A very cool coffee house and resturant. Here is a video of me performing.

finally a new post!

Here are a few videos of our stellar dog Tommy playing at the dog park.

Wresting one of his favorite things to do at the dog park.

Tommy Trouble

Some pictures of our beagle Tommy being a mischievous little puppy.

He found a bag of flour in the cupbourd while our backs were turned. You can see the results.

After that fiasco we put him on his leash and tied it to a door. He then chewed through it. :)

Christmas '08

Our first Christmas together and my first white Christmas.

We did some sledding after presents

Karen's little sister Kristen bought us a dog for Christmas! This is us with him at the pound. He is a 7 month old beagle mix that we will probably call Tommy. We are going to pick him up on Monday.
