Zoe

Zoe has been a little clingy lately. I think she knows something is going on, but not quite sure what yet.

We've figured out that when we talk about "getting ready," Zoe knows it's time for her to go to bed. She just gets in there without us having to say anything directly to her.

We brought the bassinet downstairs and Zoe just rested her head on the side of it. We think she might be a little protective of her little sister!

Lots of Leaves

Another Saturday, another day raking leaves.  Zoe was able to get in on the fun today!

Peaks of Otter

We took a day trip yesterday to Peaks of Otter in Bedford.  We had a picnic lunch then headed up the mountain.  It was a day trip and Zoe did great.  She had a lot more energy than we thought she would... staying ahead of us all the way up and down the mountain!  She especially loved the top, probably because there were a lot of people, including a little girl that kept slipping her Pringles!

Happy 1st Birthday!

We don't know exactly what day Zoe was born, so we figured today was a good day to give her her present... a huge rawhide bone and a little stuffed something that looks like a tooth (just like cousin Millie got for her birthday)!

Here are a few funny pictures from her 1st year... I know it's pathetic, but she is our baby.

Zoe the helper puppy!

Some of you have asked how Zoe has handled all of the noise and craziness of the renovation...  She usually lays at the doorway of whatever room we are working in.  She is also a huge help if we run out of hands and have to take the tape measurer somewhere!  

(True story by the way... Dusty was bringing a door downstairs, and was wearing gym shorts without pockets.  Luckily Zoe is always at his feet and was able to lend a collar!)
