24x24: Sunday, Feb. 6, 2011

Grayson took Nathaniel and Nicholas to Pensacola on a Cub Scout campout over the weekend, so it was just me and Jakey at home. If you follow me on Twitter or keep track in my sidebar, you know that Saturday we spent a good chunk of the cold, rainy day at the McWane Center downtown and went out for Chinese that night.

Yesterday we spent several hours of the GORGEOUS day at a local park, then came home and played in the backyard with our dog our neighbors' dog Maisy. Jake loves to feed her treats, and BOY does she love Jake. Big smiles out of both of them for two hours.

My face looked this happy, too. It felt amazing to be outside in beautiful weather after being cooped up inside, sick, for a week!

Feeding Maisy treats from his perch in our rock wall ...

If you look closely, you can see how much she liked the roughly 35 treats he fed her ... a drool string from his hand to her mouth.

Since we don't have a dog of our own, you'll have to excuse the number of pictures of Maisy here. At 2 years old, she's finally gotten calm enough to play in our yard with the boys, and I love it.

Her legs are a blur because she circles our yard at about 65 miles per hour.
