Fleas, Closets and Smiles!

Becky's dog Oliver came to stay with us. On Saturday, when he leaves, he will have been here for about 2 weeks. We knew he was coming; we didn't know he'd be bringing 30 biting friends. Yup, fleas. He's a cocker spaniel with flowing locks full of little critters. So, while Becky is galivanting all over Los Angeles, we had to get her dog shaved and given a flea bath. Here's the after photo. We are now calling him Rat Dog. (Sorry, Beck!)

Dustin also decided that last weekend was a good time to clean out our closet. Sarah was a little skeptical (a.k.a. overwhelmed). Our bedroom closet is about 6 ft. by 8 ft. Now, somehow, defying all the laws of physics, we were able to cram an entire living room's worth of stuff in there. Here's a photo of the living room after we pulled everything out of the closet. Now, that is a LOT of junk. We ended up with four 55-gallon bags of clothes and shoes to donate to Goodwill and another four regular garbage bags of stuff to throw away.

Here's the after photo. We are SOO organized! We even had a place to hang a photo on the wall. We spent all Saturday putting together the new white shelving units.

Ok, ok... we know you really just want the baby photos. Here's Miles. He's discovered how his hands work and learned how to whack around the toys in his play yard. He goes nuts. And, as you can see, he's starting to show a little personality. Smiles from Miles are great!
