goodbye tar

Tar died this week by my bedside. We had him for 9 years and he was a great family dog. We won't miss your drool slobber marks on our pants or your crazy shedding in January & August, but we will miss the rest of you, Tar!
Tar was so patient with the kids.
One of his favorite pastimes was diving, that's right DIVING, for logs down by the lake!
And probably his most favorite pastime....belly rubs! This last one is a day before Owen's birthday in May. Tar LOVED the lake and would always escort us on canoe rides.

great to be eight

Claire turned eight in May! She celebrated with a scavenger hunt birthday and ended the evening by making a real lei with Abby & Ella. Fun, fun day! LOVE YOU, GIRL.
