My New Cousin - Sophie Means

My newest cousin was born on June 13th in New York City! Mom and Dad were lucky enough to be in the city (for a wedding) and got to go visit her in the hospital. Sophie Ryan Means is the little sister of Elizabeth Means (18 months) - daughters of Heather and Ryan Means.

Please keep Ryan and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he is battling Bile Duct Cancer. He is a true fighter and the toughest guy I know, so there is no doubt that he will beat it!

Workin' at the Carwash

My current (and longest running to date) obsession is the Car Wash. I have 3 car wash toys - the one shown is the one we purchased at FAO in NYC during our visit a couple of weekends ago. As soon as I get in the car, I start begging to go to a car wash. This does not stop until we either go through an actual car wash or get out of the car. I know where every car wash is within a 5 mile radius of the house- my favorite, of course, is Cactus. I have named every functioning part of a car wash- the swishers, swipers, twirlers, rollers, blowers, etc... I wash all of my riding cars and even mom and dads car when we are outside. Whenever they are on the computer, I beg to look through the google images of "car wash." There are even multiple videos (mostly in Chinese) about functioning car washes. BTW, beware googling just "car wash," you end up with a lot of bikini clad ladies. We have deferred to "car wash equipment" these days. It is a true obsession.

Shep's Summer Shave

How's that for a tongue twister! Sweet Shep got a summer shave and could not be happier with his new 'do. It was about time we realized that an Atlanta summer is just too much for a 85+ lb. Golden. We think that he looks like a puppy again (and he acts like one too).
