Kickin it with the Carolinians

Gus's new haircut!

Jake and Scarlet arrived back in the Evergreen State last Saturday. We met up with them and the extended Carstensen/Engelhardt family in Soap Lake for dinner and karaoke. Fortunately, the barmaid at the Del Red did not remember Blinn. ; ) Both dinner and the post-party were a ton of fun, and after a busy week of seeing many friends, and family, Jake and Scarlet made their way up to our house in Spokane on Saturday. We met up with Justin and Theresa for lunch at Red Robin (Scarlet and I refused to let Jake choose Applebee's for our dining experience), and then went to the Season Ticket to watch basketball for a bit. It was SO nice to spend time with them, and we're looking forward for our visit back east later this year!
This post is a bit picture heavy. There have been many requests for pictures of our Gus Bear! How can we deny his fans?! Gus visited the groomers on Friday afternoon and got his first "real" haircut. As I'm writing this, I realize that I've become one of "those people" that talk about their dog as if it were a child. For the record, I don't care. :) Anyways, he looks dapper and charmed even the harshest critic...Jake.

Next weekend we're heading down to Pomeroy to visit Joe and Elizabeth! Bubby is the high school girls softball coach! Maybe Joe will have some more jerky for us...hint hint. This will be our first visit down there, and we're really excited! Go Pirates!

Gus definitely has grown! I can't wait to see him. I would like to apologize for calling him a mountain goat on my last comment. What I meant to say with his new haircut and all, is Lion. Gus will now be called Mufasa in my home. My what a beautiful mane on that little pooch. I am super excited to see you guys this weekend!!! Til next time, Waldher, Out.
