Fall fun

Well, griffin is settling right into life at the Rush household. He is now 13 weeks and well over 30 lbs. He knows how to 'sit' on command (especially if there is a treat involved) and he rings the bell to go in and out. He also loves our shoes, dirty clothes and anything we leave on the couch or coffee table within his ever expanding reach. Here John give him some much deserved belly rubbing.

Griffin under the table at the farm, he knows we are eating something good up there!

The new wood shed at camp! It is going to be so awesome to have our firewood near by, a place for a lawn mower and wheel barrow to boot! I think it is calling out for a christmas wreath too.

Lizzie shows me all her pretty bling

It was grape.....

Ba da bum....

Yeah, corny, I know. Anyway, this past weekend marked the great grape harvest of 2009. It was a bumper crop. A few photos:

Great Aunt Wheeze

Emily, Lizzie and visiting Aunt Louise (wheeze, as lizzie says) earlier this week. We found her to be her wonderful self and she and lizzie had a great time visiting. Aunt Louise also had stuffed animals and a bed lizzie liked to jump on! Here she shows Aunt Louise her toes and then her nose.

Growing Griffin

Here are some puppy pics of Griffin. he is doing great! He is sleeping through the night and dare I say he is even house broken (knock on wood)! He rings the bell at the door to go in and out as needed. He has lots of puppy energy (despite all the photos of him resting below) but is a sweet guy. He loves, loves, loves our shoes, dirty clothes and generally anything he is not supposed to have.
