A snowy week

The week started with a great Whitman press-out kit from V&S

...followed by a trip to the Peabody Essex (Sophie and Leo sketching)

...followed by puppy class on Monday night (Jupey and Horton)

...and a big celebration on Tuesday! (Leo and Sophie with our year-old lawn sign)

An early Valentine from Jupiter (he ate my laptop power cord)

Good thing he's cute

Finn liked them a lot!

Job aspirations for Jupiter

With a nose like that, he could go far.

Hurray for this stamp series from Britain.  It even says that Springers are used as police dogs there.

Exciting New Year’s Eve in Swampscott

Jupiter and Pickles have a good chase and a wrestle

Jupiter proves he can fall asleep anywhere (here : on the back of my legs while I’m talking on the phone to my friend Christian Sterner).
